Nagios XI and Distributed Deployments
Posted: Sun Jun 03, 2012 11:50 am
Greetings,
I'm getting set to make the jump to Nagios XI in the next month or so. Our current Nagios Core server is fairly overloaded and I'm hoping to move to a distributed model with Nagios XI. I could use some assistance identifying what the best distributed model is.
Ultimately, I'd like a model that allows for a single master server, pushing configurations to the slave systems. But, I'm concerned about potential outages if any of the servers fail. Is there a model that will survive a server failure, especially if the failed server is the master? Or is it, perhaps, better to have a distributed install with a small Nagios Core server elsewhere monitoring the Nagios XI servers?
Thanks!
Jason
