Monitoring clustered services

[Randal, Phil]

One solution to that problem is to use Mathias Kettner's check_mk and use its clustered service support:

http://mathias-kettner.de/checkmk_clusters.html

That's what I do here.

Another alternative is to create a third 'host' in Nagios  representing the cluster and monitor the services on that, and not on the 'physical' boxes.

Cheers,

Phil

Subject: [Nagios-users] Monitoring clustered services

Hello fellow Nagios users,

I have configured a couple of hosts in Nagios, since they are the nodes of a HA cluster the services are running on the active host only.  As obvious Nagios is showing the services down on the passive host.  I tried using check_cluster and check_cluster2 but due to the lack of information around the web and mailing list archives I couldn't figure out how it can be configured.

Would anyone actually using check_cluster like to lend me a hand? :)

We are using Nagios Core 3.2.0 on Centos.

Thanks,
Ashish Kumar
