Nagios Support Forum

Hi,
We have a NagiosXI setup in Facility A and would like it to monitor hosts located in Facility B ( different sites). What ports need to be opened / allowed between the 2 sites for the servers in Facility B to report data to the central nagios xi server @ Facility A ? Hope i am clear

Thanks
Neeraj

Neeraj,

Depending on which checks you're running, you'll probably need to open 5667 for NRPE. If you're looking to send checks back, you'll probably need to open up 5666. If you need a reference for the checks that are being returned you can check out this doc:

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/nrpe/NRPE.pdf

Thats the unabridged version of what needs to be done. If you want a friendlier version you can check out
