Sharing Check Results between Systems

[Getchell, Kristoffer M]

Marc

Thanks for your response.  The only reason I was looking at two way sync was because at present both Nagios systems are checked by our team as each shows something different.  If both systems were to be synchronised then there's nothing stopping us using just a single machine and replicating between the two.

Cheers,




Kris

The Distributed Monitoring documentation will be useful to you here.  
This is pretty standard fare.

I've done something similar but for a single specific event (service  
acknowledgments), and one-way only. It works but you'll have to be  
careful that you do not create a loop between the two machines in your  
case. I'm not quite sure how you'd be able to distinguish, from  
nagios.log, between a command initiated from the web interface and a  
command initiated from the remote machine. A better alternative would  
be to just designate one of them as the master that everyone uses for  
command entry, IMHO.
