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.
