nagios monitoring additional server

@iroy - let us know if you have any further questions!

Edit: I confirmed w/ sales that just one of the primary/backup pair is licensed to monitor at any given time.

My understanding of the backup/failover/DP portion of the license is that it is not to be used for active monitoring until the primary fails. Thus, the backup would not help to monitor the primary, if we adhere to the letter of the license.

Interestingly, the test part of the license is also not to be used for monitoring, only testing/development. Thus the 3 phase license is more restrictive than it appears.

This leads us back to the stand alone Nagios monitoring only the primary Nagios, or some other solution...

We don't have an issue with XI monitoring another XI server for health reasons, we want you to have a functioning environment.

However if you are really concerned, run another XI server in the FREE 7 node license mode.
