Servers monitored by multiple Nagios servers

Hello, sorry first time here -probably simple answers below.

I have a bunch of my servers that are being monitored by the client using Nagios Core. I want to also monitor them using my Nagios XI, but it seems to only allow one 'allowed host' in the nrpe config file (/etc/xinetd.d/nrpe). Is this true?

Can I just add another allowed address for my monitoring server? Or is there a different agent for NAgios XI and if so, can it run side-by-side with the Nagios core plugin on the customers server?


Thank you!

The "only_from" directive in:

Code: Select all

/etc/xinetd.d/nrpe
is space delimited.

The "allowed_hosts" directive in:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg
is comma separated.
