<p class=MsoNormal>Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Have anyone got any Nagios Master/Slaves solutions that are
currently being used in production?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The reason that I am asking is because I would like to use
Nagios to monitor several hosts/services at<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>multiple locations. I have at least 4 facilities that I
would like to assign a Slave per facility while the<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Master would stay at the office.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Each Slave would be monitoring the hosts and services only
within the facility that it has been assigned.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Firewalls and routings will be in place to prevent the Slaves
from interacting with each other. Only<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>the Master will be accessible from each of those Slaves.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have experimented with using NSCA to send passive checks
over to the Master from each of the Slaves.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>It seems to be the solution only if I am not concerned about
the Master having a failure or if the route<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>between the slaves to the Master has been interrupted. I
have considered giving a Slave the ability to self-<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>promote if this certain Slave detects that Master has became
unavailable. That would also include having<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>to make modifications to the send_nsca IP Address on those
other Slaves. That includes the firewall and<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>routing adjustments being required.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have looked at DNX but I am thinking that it is really
designed to cross check the hosts/services from each<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>of those “Nodes” to distribute the work loads.
I do not want the Slaves to overlap each other’s territory<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>unless a certain Slave have been self-promoted. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Anyone have suggestions on a working solution or can point
me to some reading documentations of how<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>someone have set up a HA Nagios Master/Slaves solution?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
