In my environment, I have over 400 remote locations, each with 2 servers & 15
linux clients. I have set up a Nagios 3 host server here at corporate running
NRPE to monitor the servers at each location. I also want to monitor the 15
linux clients at each location, I wanted to have one of the servers in each
remote location check the clients and report to the host Nagios server instead
of having all report back.
Would each local server have to have nagios core installed to monitor the local
clients? And then report back to the main core server ? Can the NRPE running on
the local server be used to check the client & then report it back to the host
server?
Could I use a check_by_ssh from the local server to the client and still get
the info back to the main Nagios server?
Should I run NSCA to get passive checks from the clients to the main server? I
assume with nsca, each client would have to still report back, if so, I might
as well just use active checks.
Could I do a multiple parent-child with the main server being a parent to each
remote server & each remote server being a parent to all of the local clients?
I am looking for the most straightforward & least taxing way to the admin ( me
) and the systems/network to do this.
Thanks,
Steve
