Thank you! Your assumption about the layout is correct. I will try to define a parent/child relationship between core_gw_1, core_gw_2 and each remote gateway connected to it, and then a parent/child relationship between the remote_gw and remote_host.
I've seen the tab for that in centreon, so I'll try to configure this next week. I appreciate all your great help whith this!

This is how I picture your setup: core_gw_1 Nagios-< >-remote_gw-remote_host core_gw_2 If you put "parents core_gw_1,core_gw_2" in remote_gw's host definition and "parents remote_gw" in the remote_host's definition, then as long as Nagios thinks either core_gw is up, it should continue checking remote_gw and remote_host behind it. > And since the remote hosts all depend on the remote gateway, they > should inherit that behavior. Correct? When you say "depend", do you mean a host dependency as in you've got a "define hostdependency {..." somewhere? That's more advanced than what I'm talking about, and those dependencies are NOT inherited. You'd have to define one for every host. Defining parent/child relationships is a simple way to describe to Nagios the network's layout, specifically for determining if a host can be reached. If remote_host_1's parent is remote_gw and you copy remote_host_1 when you add remote_host_2, then remote_host_2 will also have remote_gw as a parent. > I don't think the check_cluster would work since the host services are > checked via nrpe running custom php monitoring scripts on the > machines, but I'll check it out tomorrow at the office anyways. Check_cluster is a meta-check. It doesn't perform the component service or host checks itself. Instead, it examines the results of the checks that Nagios is already performing. Now that I think about it some more, it's probably overkill for this case. -- -Chris Nothing in this message is intended to make or accept an offer or to form a contract, except that an attachment that is an image of a contract bearing the signature of an officer of our company may be or become a contract.
