Nagios Support Forum

As described in the topic we are using a distributed monitoring solution for sending all data to a nagiosxi server.

On the nagiosxi checks we have a couple active checks which i want to move to a local nagios installation so the central only has passive data. The problem i am facing is that some of the active checks have a passive host which recieves that info from a completly other nagios machine. The checks on this host are active checks however which i want to move to the local machine.

The question now is if i can ignore some host or service data to be send to the main central. If yes how can i accomplish this?

From Admin -> Outbound Transfers you can set a filter of hosts you do not want to send passive data for.

The nagios installation that is sending the data is a nagios core version. After looking through the documentation i found out that i can disable the obsess over host per host itself as well.

Thanks for helping though.
