Hej,
is it possible to execute one Service Check from a Slave Host while
the monitored Server and so all of his services are monitored by the
Master Server?
This is our setup atm:
- Hosts with external IPs are monitored by our Master Servers, which
have external IPs.
- Hosts with internal IPs are monitored by our Slave Servers, which
have internal IPs.
There are indeed firewall-rules that allow the communication between
the Master and Slave Servers via NAT.
But:
Most of our external Servers have an ILO/RSA-Interface, which is
always in the internal net, which is not reachable by the Master
Monitoring Servers (no, we don't want to NAT every IP). We want the
ILO-Monitoring to be a service of a host and not an extra host
monitored by one of the slaves.
Any ideas?
You can do it by having a new host (hostname-internal) with just that
check, but I guess you are trying to put all the services together on
the same "host".
Your subject line suggests defining that certain service checks are
run from a particular monitoring server. While I'm keeping an open
mind about it, it does break quite a few assumptions made about
monitoring servers, hosts and services.
I think I'm just saying that this is quite a big change which makes
the mental model a bit unexpected. I think a service check field
"Monitored by = Master always (default host setting)" sounds more
feasible than a Monitored By field with all slaves.
The other way is possibly that you group these hosts together at the
status viewing level by host group or keywords.
