Hey All,
It's great to see Naemon continuing to improve.
One thing that still concerns me is that although things are being added for
doing distributed monitoring (DNX) but it seems focused on hosts run within a
single enterprise or private WAN.
I've worked for a couple of MSPs and one of the biggest issue we had was that
the distributed monitoring nagios installs needed to have inbound connections
allowed to them each of which required a unique public IP (not port NAT) which
meant it was very wasteful for large deployments.
Ideally I'd like to see Naemon support a method whereby the remote monitoring
hosts establish an outbound connection to the central host using ports that are
not only secure but also easy to get through firewalls. HTTPS seems not a bad
choice for this. This would also make Naemon a possible candidate for a cloud
based solution.
By implementing it this way it would be very easy to deploy hosts practically
anywhere although I fully understand that the complexity of implementing this
could be very high.
Any thoughts?
Lee
