Your servers will probably be fine servicing the extra Nagios polling, unless they are overloaded already.
Since I run Nagios on virtual machines, however, I tried to keep the load on my failover Nagios server minimized. My failover Nagios server runs a cron job that uses the check_nagios plugin to monitor the state of the primary Nagios server. If the primary server is up and running, the failover server will just rsync the state and configuration files from the primary. If the primary server becomes unavailable, the cron job will start the Nagios service on the failover server and keep it running until it detects the primary has recovered.

Hi All, I am planning to configure all the servers in my client environment in two Nagios servers(in two different locations) in order to create Back up. Please let me know whether there will be any overload on the servers as two Nagios servers will be polling them. Thanks, Ravi G
