Multiple Nagios XI instances can be used if the size of your infrastructure or monitoring needs require you to create a distributed monitoring environment. Federated or distributed Nagios XI instances empower you to scale your infrastructure while making it easier to manage large environments and future changes.

Integrating Mod-Gearman With Nagios XI
The purpose of this document is to provide a guide to integrating Mod_Gearman with Nagios XI to introduce distributed monitoring in your environment. Mod_Gearman and its worker processes intercept checks made by Nagios and run them externally, process them, and send them back to the Nagios server. In this way Mod_Gearman has been shown to greatly reduce the load taken on by the Nagios server while still keeping its speed and efficiency.
