Nagios Support Forum

Hi, I have a situation that I hope there is an easy solution for:

We have two enclaves with a communication circuit connecting them together and a Nagios server monitoring each site. We're trying to introduce some redundancy into our monitoring so we added all servers from both sites to each Nagios host list. What we found is that the SNMP traffic alone overwhelmed our available bandwidth for the cross-site circuit and caused holy hell with everything.

So... we're looking for another way to handle this. Is there any way for a Nagios server to send its query results as a blob to another Nagios server? That would eliminate the need to query across the sites.

Or maybe there is something else we can do? I'm open to suggestions.

Thank you.

Hi,

If interested, we do have a guide on HA options for Nagios XI and Linbit does offer a fully supported commercial package.

You can send the transfers check results using the Inbound / Outbound transfers from one XI server to another.

Lastly, another option would be to setup a backup server by sending scheduled backups to this system and running the restore script on a scheduled basis in case the primary server were to fail.

Hope that helps, and let us know if you have more questions or need assistance.
