Nagios Support Forum

How does one configure a nagios agent to send agent data to more than one Nagios instance, and can I choose to send different data points to each of the different Nagios XI appliances?

I'm in a situation where a managed service provider monitors our network devices using their own (remote) instance of Nagios XI and before I device whether or not to buy Nagios XI and Nagios Network Analyzer, I want to be sure that each agent can ALSO send information that I want to my own Nagios XI and NA appliances in addition to the Nagios XI instance that they are already sending data to.

Can someone tell me how the agent might be configured to do this, and how that works when you don't want the same information sent to both Nagios appliances? ... also instructions for how to configure multiple agents at once, assuming it's possible to do this?

Thanks,

Jane

Hello Jane,

I'm a pre-sales technical support specialist with Nagios. If you can provide me with a little more information, I'm sure I can help. Are you currently using the trial versions of our products? Have you been in touch with anyone from sales here at Nagios? Do you know if the managed service provider is performing passive or active checks? If you're interested, we may be able to schedule a remote session to answer your questions and help you find your way around our products.

Thank you!
