Tripp Lite 93-2879 Advanced Distributed Monitoring Configuration, Sample Nagios configuration

10.4 Advanced Distributed Monitoring Configuration

10.4.1 Sample Nagios configuration

An example configuration for Nagios is listed below. It shows how to set up a remote Console Server to monitor a single host, with both network and serial connections. Each check has two configurations, one for NRPE and one for NSCA. In practice, these would be combined into a single check which uses NSCA as a primary method and falling back to NRPE if a check were late. For details, see the Nagios documentation (http://www.nagios.org/docs/) on Service and Host Freshness Checks.
