NagiosXI Failover and NSClient++.ini

Post by vhoover »

I have recently configured a Nagios Failover server and most of the servers I am monitoring with the primary nagios xi installation use nsclient++, do I need to include the IP of the failover server in the NSC.ini file on those servers?

vhoover,

if the Fail-over server will be monitoring NSClient++, then the answer is yes, you will need to include the IP in the NSC.ini file. you can add address to NSC.ini as a comma separated list.

Yes the IP would be added in the allowed_hosts section, make sure to restart the nsclient service when you make the change.
