Well in truth the monitoring feature is still considered to be a beta which is why its turned off by default.

Thanks for your input Brian. I did stumble upon your post from 2010 before posting. It's a shame that ~3.5 years hasn't made a difference in the development. What did you end up using to tackle this?

We wanted to do this exact thing using Satellite.  99% of our hosts are outside our network, behind NAT.  And the answer has been a polite but consistent, "The product can't do that, and there are no plans to make that happen."

 

So we use a different monitoring tool.

Subject: [Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk Monitoring Scout to external/NATed hosts

 

Our Spacewalk environment is used to manage purely external devices. We have them running fedora and use OSA (when it isn't blocked by the client) to get mostly everything accomplished. I want to start using the Monitoring Scout to give me more details about all of the systems. As it sits, not much documentation exists in the Spacewalk world. I used RedHat Satellite docs to get a better understanding of the tool.

So how can I monitor the hosts out in the field? They are certainly all NATed and work purely based on checking in. Just to clarify, monitoring scout simply SSHs into your system on 4545 as nocpulse and executes a command?

I could be overlooking what OSA, or other RHN stuff, would do in this case.
