I wrote up some internal docs for myself over a year ago now and don't mind sharing them: http://www.nbcs.rutgers.edu/~brylon/nagios2/ Note: I don't know if this is quite what you are looking for, but figured I'd share and let you decide if it helps. I would also be interested in other docs anyone may have with respect to distributed monitoring and failover redundancy. > > > Chris ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
