Which Is Best

[Mathew Walker]

Hello,

If it's just two sites... I like to have two Nagios servers.  I would put one in each site.  That way if the VPN link is down, you don't lose performance data from the other site during the window.  Plus each Nagios server can monitor the other.  Also I've used my HQ install to monitor my datacenter over the ISP link to monitor general performance of my apps.  

If you're going to end up with multiple sites, then maybe start with a distributed setup now to safe work down the road.

I also prefer a RH/Centos install for Nagios.

I’m looking into a Nagios installation to monitor both our Data Centre hardware as well as our own internal hardware. Would it be best to have 2 separate installations of Nagios (one for each site) or have a distributed installation? Also what would be the best platform for Nagios (either RHEL or Solaris – we currently use both in our environment)? We access to our Data Centre over a VPN link.
