Good day all. I've taken over ownership of a very hacked and mutilated nagios installation in house, and I'm busy building a migration plan and designing the new nagios instance.
I have some questions which the documentation is not making apparent, likely due to my lack of understanding nagios, not the documentation. We have 3 physical locations which will be monitored, which will likely increase, and I'm looking at a distributed monitoring setup as described in the documentation here : http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/distributed.html Now the documentation mentions : "The purpose of the central server is to simply listen for service check results from one or more distributed servers. Even though services are occassionally actively checked from the central server, the active checks are only performed in dire circumstances, so lets just say that the central server only accepts passive check for now" We are also looking at using dependencies between hosts and services across all locations, which according to the documentation and my understanding of it, might be a problem. "Execution dependencies are used to restrict when active checks of a service can be performed. Passive checks are not restricted by execution dependencies" Unfortunately the check scheduling logic link is still in TODO status, so I cannot explore further. Is my understanding correct ? If not, can you use distributed monitoring and host and service dependencies ? As a final question. I'd like to be able to monitor a single host from the different locations to be able to identify links going down using the above configuration. Would I have to configure the host 3 times for each nagios server or is there a different way.
