monitor from multiple locations

[Tedman Eng]

One way to do this would be Nagios1, Nagios2, Nagios3, etc (say in Tokyo,
London, and New York) monitoring the host.  Each of them sends their service
checks to NagCentral.  The service definitions on NagCentral is passive
checks only, and max check attempts = # of Nagios monitoring sites.  So, if
all 3 sites chime in, the check would enter a hard state and notify.  "Soft"
states would mean localized internet issues, etc.

Subject: [Nagios-users] monitor from multiple locations


Hi

I'd like to monitor my services and hosts from multiple locations in
the way most commercial monitoring providers do.  It should basically
work like this: Nagios1 checks HostA and receives a DOWN status, it
notifies Nagios2 and Nagios2 performs the same check on HostA.  If
Nagios2 also returns a DOWN status a notification is sent out, if not
the service is not considered down or a 3rd Nagios point is activated,
and so on.

I've read the distributed monitoring, failover and redundancy
documentations.  But non of them seem to provide this service.

Any suggestions are welcome ...

Thanks!

tom
