Hi I have more questions about distributed monitoring with shinken and merlin I use site A and site B , on both site I have my own nagios/shinken/merlin installation Site A checks the own lan and Site B checks the own lan . Sure I can see the hosts on Site A from Site a and vice versa, but I would like to see even each other hosts (Site B/A)in the ninja gui. I have difficulty how to config the sites to accomplish my wish :)

Hi, I never understood the noc/peer thing in merlin in fact. So I will maybe give you a bad answer from a merlin comparaison point of view. What you can do in Shinken is have two sites, each with a scheduler and a poller that will "check" the sites hosts. Then you have a common broker daemon (where you got your merlin database) that will get all data and insert/update this database that Ninja will read. You can have two sites with just a poller in it, but ti's just a matter of network link size in fact (with the first version, only data are send between sites, with just pollers, you got also checks). You can also have 2 merlin databases (one in each sites), totally distinct, but I think it's not a good thing to have, because it will need two Ninjas too, so forgot about this last one :) Jean Greetings /jörg From: nap [mailto:napar...@gmail.com] Sent: den 7 september 2011 08:39 To: shinken-devel@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Shinken-devel] scenario help On Wed, Sep 7, 2011 at 8:14 AM, Jörg Schulz <jorg.sch...@lnu.se> wrote: Hi Try to implement shinken in our enviroment , we have physical 2 sites , on each site we have our own nagios server , the servers checks the their own site. Now we have to connect with each other. Both should have redundance/loadbalancing/failover. Which is the easiet way , because we need the merlin (op5) db for different features. -------Site1------- <-------> ------Site2------ | | Merlin merlin Local Network check Local Network check GUI How could the config looks like for this scenario Hi, I think the best way for this is to define two realms with both : * 2 schedulers, 2 pollers, 2 reactionners, 2 brokers (where you will put the merlin module) and 2 receivers (for passive checks, but it can be the main arbiter that manage it), one arbiter in each, one site is the master arbiter, the other is the slave one. You will be able to scale one site without problem if you need, and you still got one common configuration place. It's fully HA, and even if you lsot the inter-link, the slave arbiter will just resend the same configuration, and when the master will came back it will just take the lead. With it you just need to tag your hosts or hostgroups with the realm name. You can also take a cheaper installation with only one scheduler in each site and do the "site" management with poller tags, but it will ask more network trafic between your sites. If it's not a problem, it can be an easier solution :) Jean Thanks /J ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Using storage to extend the benefits of virtualization and iSCSI Virtualization increases hardware utilization and delivers a new level of agility.
