I have nagios on an nfs mount and share between 2 servers. Remember to point the entire var directory to local disk (performance reasons, and because the nagios command pipe wont work over nfs).
Monitor the primary server from the secondary server via cron (run check_nrpe/check_by_ssh check_nagios). You can either leave the secondary nagios daemon running, but send an external command to disable notifications and or active checks on startup, then have your cron job send an external command to enable notofications/checks. OR do not leave the nagios daemon running and have your cron job start nagios On 5/1/08, Tom Brown <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi > > I will shortly be configuring a couple of nagios hosts in a cluster > setup, most likely active/passive, and i wonder if there are 'best > practices' for this?
