Flat map

[Varaillon Jean Cristophe]

Ok but then I have an issue here:

Each host is define with a single address, right?

In this case, how woud you configure nagios if you want to have this
map:

Server_1--<10.10.10.0/24>---ROUTER1---<20.20.20.0/24>---Server_2

How would you define the host ROUTER1 since I also need to monitor both
its interfaces?

Also, is there a way to get rid of the "Nagios process" icon?

Thanks!

Christophe

Nagios doesn't discover the network topology, it is contained in the
Nagios configuration by using the "parents" directive in the host
object.  For example:

define host {
host_name   host1
...
parents     router1
}
define host {
host_name   router1
...
parents     router0   
}
define host {
host_name   router0
...
}

would look like:

         Nagios Host
              |
           router0
              |
           router1
              |
            host1

Hosts with no "parents" directive are assumed to be on the same subnet
as the Nagios host.

See http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/networkreachability.html for
more information.
