Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios based distributed monitoring systems out there?
We've just released a beta of NRDS here at Nagios Enterprises, which adds exactly that functionality to our commercial product, Nagios XI. It should also be much cheaper than OpsView.

It's a master/slave distribution system based on the Gearman MQ and gives you the possibility to spread out the checks to remote worker based on hostgroups, servicegroups and custom variables. -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios based distributed monitoring systems out there?
" what you mean by "reverse tunnel master/slave distributed model," So you have master server - that presents the master web interface - controls configs for everything -sends out notifications Slave servers are placed at remote locations to do active polling and results are returned to the master. Slave servers initiate ssh session to master and open up reverse tunnel back to itself. So data from slaves comes in via port 22, config data is pushed out to slaves over reverse ssh port. The cool thing is we don't have to deal with opening up ssh on a bunch of remote networks. As long as SSH is allowed out from remote networks and we allow in SSH from the remote networks everything just works. Other distributed setups I had seen had to have direct ssh access out from master to slave. Opsview Community edition was really a great value, but the move to enterprise edition would be a big cost increase, so I figured it was worth asking about distributed setup in other nagios based products.

[Nagios-users] Nagios based distributed monitoring systems out there?
This is not entirely Nagios related, more nagios backend architecture related. We had been a long time user of Opsview Community Edition. We were monitoring multiple sites so we were drawn in by Opsview's ease of distributed server setup. Unfortunately Opsview is dropping distributed monitoring from the community edition (a point brought up by Opsview sales when they contacted us about buying enterprise). I now am stuck with a system monitoring 1000 hosts across different locations with a no low cost upgrade path under Opsview. 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? 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. Thanks.
