<div class=Section1>
<p class=MsoNormal>I would like to request a feature that would do
distributed clustering without the use of passive checks.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>With the following considerations<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Remote Servers:-<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Check results are passed to a database<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Web interface and notification access the database<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Remote server nagios.cfg<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>remote_server_name ;used
by the central server to display where the data has come from e.g.
London_datacenter<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>central_server_address ;IP
address of the central server<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>More IP’s could be added to the central_server_address.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>For example if a company had several offices in one country
and spanned several countries. The following would be available with the web
interface<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Each office could see its own host service checks<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Country regional office could see the checks from all the
offices in that country<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Global headquarters could see the checks from all countries <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:144.0pt;text-indent:-144.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Central Server:-<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Has a database for the results of its own checks plus the
remote_server databases are also upload into it<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Web interface / notifications show checks from central and
remote servers.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Web interface / notification to include the remote_server_name
in the host/service check displays <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Central server nagios.cfg<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:144.0pt;text-indent:-144.0pt'>Remote_server_address ;IP
address of remote servers, a security feature that would allow the central
nagios to ignore any data sent to it from servers not in the list<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:144.0pt;text-indent:-144.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:144.0pt;text-indent:-144.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></p>
