<p class="MsoNormal">This is not entirely Nagios related, more nagios backend architecture related.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We had been a long time user of Opsview Community Edition. <o:p>
</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We were monitoring multiple sites so we were drawn in by Opsview’s ease of distributed server setup.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Unfortunately Opsview is dropping distributed monitoring from the community edition (a point brought up by Opsview sales when they contacted us about buying enterprise).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I now am stuck with a system monitoring 1000 hosts across different locations with a no low cost upgrade path under Opsview.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What my company ultimately decides to do is not entirely up to me but I was curious if other nagios based monitoring systems handled a reverse tunnel master/slave distributed model as well as Opsview used to?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If Opsview is listening, next time you drop core features from your product do your registered users a favor and give them advanced notice, instead of using it as a sales talking point. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks.<o:p></o:p></p>
