Nagios check dependent on second nagios server

Post by eugenes18t »

We have a dual Nagios server setup. One is setup for internal server monitoring on our LAN, while the second Nagios server is hosted externally and is used for external checks only such as URL and ping checks form the WAN side.

I was wondering if there is any way to setup cross dependencies between the 2 servers so if an internal alert for apache down goes off. Our external Nagios server does not start alerting for websites being down.

One option would be to push certain checks to the external server from the internal one and then create service dependencies on the external nagios server.
