Nagios Support Forum

Hi team,

We are doing distributed monitoring with the help of the mod-gearman but looks like it has a drawback in this scenario,

We have a private infra and we have installed mod-gearman worker on one of the server which is doing all the monitoring it's fine.
but suppose our worker server goes down or just the worker service stopped working at that time we didn't get any alert in Nagios XI as it was just showing the last ' OK ' message it has received from the worker.

So is there any way that we can set up an alert or something so we get a notification that our worker server is not running.

Please help in this.

Thanks
Abhijay

You can use check_gearman and assign it to a service on localhost and have it run locally

This will perform the check and not send it to the worker to be executed
