Distributed Monitoring Parents

[Steve Shipway]

If you want the satellites to suppress host/service checks when hosts are unreachable, then yes.
Otherwise, your central Nagios master will correctly suppress notifications (as it knows about the dependencies, and the satellites don't do notifications)

On our system, Ive defined the dependencies on the satellites as well because I want to suppress checks of unreachables (as with Nagios 2.x it causes horrible latencies when a sector drops out).  It's a bit messy though, as it requires host checks to be done on both master and satellite.

Hi all,



I currently have 1 Master Nagios Server and 4 Nagios "Satellites" which do the hard work.



I have defined all Parents (dependencies) on the Master Server.



Do I also need to define the Parents on the Satellites? Or will the Master Server (the one sending out Notifications) automatically define the Unreachable hosts by itself?





Regards,



Harald
