question about host groups and distributed mon itoring.

[Burnson, Richard]

That should work out fine for you.  Just keep in mind what will happen if
one of those remote servers goes down or can't communicate with the central
server.  If the central server cannot then actively check those services you
will be better off following the documentation for distributed servers and
use the "staleservice.sh" script for the service check on the central
server.  More info can be found about this in the Nagios docs
(distributed.html).

Regards,
Richard

Subject: [Nagios-users] question about host groups and distributed
monitoring.

Hello,
I've got 2 remote nagios servers that do all the service checks, and one
central server that accepts the data from the remote servers,displays
the info, sends the alerts. 
I've got a group of systems I want to monitor as a hostgroup, but some
of the systems are accessible from one remote system, and the rest from
the other remote system.
My question is, is it possible to have each remote system have a
hostgroup containing the hosts it can check, and then on the central
server have one hostgroup that includes hosts from each, all using the
same name. Would this then group them properly in the html display?
Any ideas/comments/etc. would be appreciated.


-Sean
