Distributed monitoring without direct network connection

[Ton Voon]

Thanks for the plug, but Opsview is not really suitable for this. We  
have distributed monitoring out-of-the-box, but it requires the  
permanent connection between slaves and the master which Nick says he  
hasn't got.

If you will have temporary connections (that go up and down), we have  
been thinking whether we can do "batched results from slaves", though  
this is quite a big job as it requires changes to a lot of components  
(Nagios, NSCA, NDOutils, and our datawarehouse). Let us know if you  
fancy sponsoring this work.

Otherwise, why can't you just have notifications from the other  
servers? Do you need to correlate with your central server?
