Distributed monitoring questions...

[Jon Lyons]

I was hoping I only needed to have hosts/services defined once. I was trying to cut down on the admin tasks(setup, changes,etc...), I guess I'll just combine the two servers into one nagios machine.  :( 
Thanks for the info....

Yup, distributed monitoring is what you're looking for. The netsaint server will use send the service check reslts to the nagios server via NSCA. You _will_ need to mirror the host and service definitions from your netsaint server on your nagios server as neither program will accept passive service checks for a service it doesn't know about. It sounds to me that you'll want to disable notificatios for the services on your nagios server or set the notification timeperiod to none.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Distributed monitoring questions...

Hi,

I've been trying to search the archives, but it seems to be having issuse, so hopefully someone can help. I've got two montoring machines on our network, one nagios(monitors networks) and one netsaint machine(unix services).

Is there a way to display the netstaint machine errors/acknowledgements in my nagios web interface? I'd like to keep both machines seperate(for admin,alerts,etc..etc.), however I'd like the help desk people to see all errors in one spot.

Distrubuted monitoring looks like what I'm looking for, but I have a few questions. Does this setup mean that I need to have all host definitions/services defined on the central server, even the hosts/services the distrubuted server is monitoring? The admin for the distributed server adds a service/host, do I need to update the configs of the central server? And will this work with nagios & a netstaint setup?

Thanks..
