Can I setup Nagios web interface and Nagios co re programs on different servers?

[Tedman Eng]

What about nfs sharing the var and cfg directories (maybe others) on the
monitoring machine and connecting to those shares via the web interface
machine?

If you use the interactive commands on the interface (scheduling
downtimes, enabling/disabling notices, acknowledgments, etc), then you
really need to keep the web interface and the nagios server on the same
machine.  Otherwise those commands won't work.

There are a couple options to do it otherwise, without having to resort
to mysql.  The CGIs check the nagios configs (the contents of
/etc/nagios/) as well as the nagios status.log, and maybe some other
files in /var/log/nagios.   So, what you'd have to do is keep a copy of
the configs on the web interface box, and make sure they're kept up to
date.  Then rig something so that the log files are copied over
regularly (every 2 minutes or something).  You wouldn't get
instantaneous updates, but it would spread out the load between the two
machines.
