Hi! I was wondering if nagios monitoring website information could be access from a network other than the local.

Thank you!

Can't you just add port forwarding* for Nagios Server? I added sth like this:

Source -> Port -> Destination -> Port
Any -> http(80) -> <IP_Nagios_Server> -> http(80).

And when I type in my browser http://company.public.ip:80/nagios I get redirected to site of my Nagios Server ;)



* I think it'll work only if you have public IP which wont change ;)

It isn't realy recommended using HTTP from external to your internal network.
You're nagios instance also contains a lot of information about your internal network architecture etc.
If that gets compromised ...
