NDO and HA

[George Bryan]

Hi all, i'm a bit lost here and i need some help.

I need to setup a nagios monitoring environement with high
avaliability and load balancing. When i was ressearching this i first
considered the option of doing it with nsca and just submiting the
checks passively to my visualization servers.

Other option i considered was just configuring the checks on the
visualization servers and run nrpe on the monitorization servers and
let them handle the checks on demand, don't know if this is possible
but in this case i could use a standard tcp load balancing setup. I
had a good feeling about this but never tried it.

After some ressearch i found about ndoutils and read that by nagios
3.0 we should have a php based front-end, etc etc.. So i setup a
fairly simple environment with nagios 2.5 and ndotuils and i the
database is getting well populated, however, and i may have missed
something here, the visualization part of nagios doesn't seem to do
anything with the database. So is this funcionality not done yet? I
wanted to follow this route because it would mean that the upgrade to
3.0 wouldn't be as hard. Am i wrong thinking this? Is there any way to
get this to work currently? I tried nagios-cvs but it seems to be the
same.

So i'm stuck. Should i just ditch ndo and go with the nrpe setup for
the time being? Any pitfalls anyone wants to share?

cheers
George
