Since you already had the master monitoring your hosts, if you only wanted them 
monitored 
on one or more slaves, you could go to 'WATO Configureation -> Hosts' and edit 
a host. 
In the 'Monitored on site' field, check the box then select which slave you 
want to monitor 
the host. When you activate the changes, both the host and slave configs will 
be updated. 
The host will be removed from the master and added to the slave. Rinse and 
repeat for 
any other hosts you want moved to slaves. 

You *should* probably be able to do all of them at once by turning on the 
checkboxes and 
selecting the hosts, then clicking on 'edit', but that doesn't seem to work on 
my 1.2.4p5 
version of Check_MK. I think I saw a fix for that in the 1.2.5* code...

Thanks for the quick response guys! 


Jim, 
Just to clarify, i'm not actually configuring any hosts from the slave box? 
My understanding was that all configuration should be done on the master, and 
the settings would be pushed out to the slaves? If I tried to configure 
something on the slave machine, would the changes not be overwritten when I 
next updated the master? 
Is it not possible to add a host using wato on the master, but configure it to 
only be monitored by the slave? 



Tom, that was almost what I was looking for, but in reverse! I want the master 
to only see the monitoring results of these hosts through the slave's 
livestatus, but to be managed and configured by the master? 


Cheers again guys!

Actually, I just ran into the same thing yesterday. The solution is to go into 
your “Distributed Monitoring” section under WATO, edit your slave server, and 
tick the “Temporarily disable this connection” under the “Livestatus settings”. 
It just tells your master not to query the slave for its lists of hosts 
(because they will be the same).. useful in an active/active monitoring 
situation. Replication and everything else still works fine.

It sounds like it's doing exactly what you told it to do. By importing the 
config to the master 
it started monitoring all the hosts, then you added specific hosts to the 
slaves so they also started 
monitoring them. If you don't want the master to monitor them, delete them from 
the master 
config. On my test setup, the only thing the master monitors directly are the 
slaves themselves. 
Just to see if I could, I added one of the hosts on a slave site to the master 
and it is now monitoring 
that host from both sites.

Subject: [omd-users] Duplicate host entries - Master Site monitoring hosts 
under Slave site? 

Hi all 



I'm not sure what to make of this? 

I have an OMD 1.10 multi-site/distributed environment that consists of 2 VM's 
(1 master and 1 slave) 

I've imported all the hosts that need to be monitored on the master, and placed 
a selection of them within a folder that has the setting "Monitored on site" 
set to my slave site/vm. 



Now when I click on the master's "all hosts" I can see the selected hosts 
listed under the slave site, titled "Monitor Slave 1". However, I also see them 
again still listed under the Master's site title "Monitor Master 1"? (ie the 
selected hosts are listed twice, one under each site title?) 

I would have expected the selected hosts to only be monitored and listed under 
the slave site/VM? 

I've also noticed that the data/graphs displayed by the duplicate entries are 
not the same as the originals, giving me the impression that both sites/vm's 
are in fact monitoring the same host? 



When I log directly onto the slave VM, I can see the wato config has been 
synced as it shows all the hosts and settings in the monitoring domain. 
However, when clicking on the slave's 'all hosts', only the hosts pre-selected 
on the master are shown being monitored, and nothing else. This is what i'd 
expect, but it also means the the site is obeying the configuration on what 
hosts it should be monitoring? 



I've searched high and low on-line, but cannot find any post that describes 
this scenario, making me think that this may actually be correct and there's a 
valid reason for it? 



Any help or advice you could give me on this would be really appreciated, even 
if its just to confirm whether this scenario is correct or not. 



Thanks! 

John
