Nagios Support Forum

Thanks for the input gang.

I am still learning/building/testing/supporting the old and new environments and discussing options with my group.

I'll test out my options and return afterwards.

thanks

We'll keep it open for you. For the sake of our workflow, please don't post back unless you have more info (otherwise the thread shows on our "todo" list).

Yes, they hate it when that happens.

Yes. Yes we do.

Sorry to re-open this without my solution, but I just got out of class and the teacher suggested I look into gearman to solve this problem.

What is your take on that?

I understand that a gearman engine would sit on my "external" networks, pull jobs from my internal nagios server and return results.

This would mean I'd have only 1 connections (nagios->gearman) to deal with.

Any thoughts?

Yes this would help. The Mod_Gearman workers sit on the remote networks and do all the work at the remote end.

The key to this implementation is hostgroups/servicegroups/queues, this allows you to target specific workers to do specific checks at specific sites.

These guides may help explain it all:
