Hi All, I now this is an old post, but i have a problem in monitoring a dhcp server. Nagios is installed on a machine that is not on the same lan as the dhcp server. After reading the help, i tried something like this: cos...@cacti-1:/usr/local/nagios/libexec *./check_dhcp -v -u -s 10.0.0.2

Yes, you can do that. Look for distributed monitoring in the documentation. It's fairly simple to set up. Keep in mind that if you declare the public Nagios server to be the master, that means that information leaves the corporate network; you may not want to do that. You could also declare

Sorry. It probably would of helped to include some of this information. It would be a large deployment in terms of what I have seen others using. There could be ~12 servers each with ~1,500 hosts and 300,000 service checks (almost all NSCA). We expect a lot of service checks per host so we want

In my experience, there are weird things that happen with timing. That is, the time on a VM should be sync'd with a time source so no time is lost. However, the VM has what I like to think of as seconds of variable length. So when we tested with a VM a few years ago, the latency and execution

I run 2 Nagios with MRTG on 2 separate VMs on separate sites myself and have been for over year. Since we have 2 sites, to circumvent the issue with monitoring the ESXi server I leave that to the other site. Site A monitors the ESXi server in Site B and vice versa. This also helps in monitoring

For that size of a deployment you will definitely want to use dedicated hardware. Also, with 300,000 services the standard nagios web interface could end up being quite slow. Our deployment has just over 21,000 services (multiple remote collectors feeding data back into a primary collector,
