10. Nagios Integration
10.3.5 Distributed Monitoring Usage Scenarios
Below are examples of distributed monitoring Nagios scenarios:
Local office
In this scenario, the console server is set up to monitor the console of each managed device. It can be configured to perform a
number of checks (actively at the Nagios server’s request, or passively at preset intervals) and submit the results to the Nagios
server in a batch.
The console server may be augmented at the local office site by one or more Intelligent Power Distribution Units (IPDUs) to
remotely control the power supply to the managed devices.
Remote site
In this scenario, the console server, NRPE server or NSCA client can be configured to make active checks of configured
services and upload to the Nagios server waiting passively. It can also be configured to service NRPE commands to perform
checks on demand.
In this situation, the console server will perform checks based on both serial and network access.
