Monitoring Distributed Resource

[Andreas M. Iwanowski]

Dear Nagios Gurus,

We've been using nagios for the past two years (actually centreon/nagios), and are very happy with it.

However, I couldn't find a way to monitor a distributed resource. Let me explain what I mean.
For example, I may have redundant VPN gateways, so if one goes offline it is not catastrophic.

I may also have monitored devices behind the VPN, so I set up host dependencies.

I would like to have host dependency in an "either or" configuration.
I.e. if the primary gateway goes down and the standby takes over, I would still like to be notified about host troubles behind the VPN. Only if both were to be down nagios should stop sending messages.

Does that make sense?

I'm sure there is a way to implement this in Nagios, but I haven't found out how quite yet...

Has anyone implemented something in this way?


Mit freundlichen Gr??en / With best regards
