I have to monitor two datacenters, each one with a nagios xi server.

Is it possible to centralize all alerts informations on one nagios xi web from those two datacenters ?

Hello @marcf,

We have a product called Nagios Fusion that allows you to view the status information for both Servers from a central application. However, this product does provide notifications.

The other option is to used the Inbound / Outbound check capability to transfer the results of one server to the other.

Use inbound and outbound can do the trick.

To use that i would have to use passive check ? set up inbound and outbound with NRDP is quite the easy part.
What to do with thousand of service to switch from active to passive ?

Hello Marc,

"What to do with thousand of service to switch from active to passive?"

There's a tool to set up the incoming objects within XI. Go to Admin > Monitoring Config > Unconfigured Object. Please see page 5 of the following guide:

Distributed Monitoring With NRDP

Let me know if that answers your question or not.
