I having been playing around with Nagios to monitor our servers for us. I was
playing with the idea of installing the NRPE daemon onto the Endian boxes.
At first I thought it was a bad idea, running extra software on your firewall
is not generally a good idea, but then I started thinking if I need to open up
a port for NRPE anyway, why not just run it on the firewall. It would allow me
to use Endain both as a firewall and extend its functionality by adding in
monitoring capabilities I could use the NRPE daemon to monitor as many hosts
inside my internal network without my public Nagios server ever having to enter
any internal network.
Does anybody have any thoughts on this idea, my Endian knowledge is only minor
to say the least, would this even work?
Thanks
Steve
