Use three servers. One view-server where you just consolidate everything and two pollers. On the two pollers you just split configuration so that each handle their own data-center. Merlin is well suited for this, and it'll do the config-splitting and syncing on its own. You'll find the code for it at http://git.op5.org/git/?p=nagios/merlin.git;a=summary and some more info at http://www.op5.org/community/plugin-inventory/op5-projects/merlin Hope you like it. Just don't follow the ages-old download link from the project page. I'll make sure to update it in a while, but use the tarball link from the gitweb page for now. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.erics...@op5.se OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war on peace. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Simplify data backup and recovery for your virtual environment with vRanger.
