Configure The Upstream Nagios Monitoring Host - Tripp Lite B092-016 Owner's Manual

The Nagios Check nominated as the check-host-alive check is used to determine whether the

network host itself is up or down.
 Typically this will be Check Ping – although in some cases the host will be configured not to
respond to pings.
 If no check-host-alive check is selected, the host will always be assumed to be up.
 You may deselect check-host-alive by clicking Clear check-host-alive.
 If required, customize the selected Nagios Checks to use custom arguments.
 Click Apply.

10.3.6 Configure the Upstream Nagios Monitoring Host

Refer to the Nagios documentation (http://www.nagios.org/docs/) for configuring the upstream server:
 The section entitled Distributed Monitoring steps through what is needed to configure NSCA on
the upstream server (under Central Server Configuration).
 NRPE Documentation, which has been recently added, steps through configuring NRPE on the
upstream server
At this stage, Nagios at the upstream monitoring server is configured, and individual serial port and
network host connections on the Console Server are configured for Nagios monitoring. If NSCA is
enabled, each selected check will be executed once over the period of the check interval. If NRPE is
enabled, then the upstream server will be able to request status updates under its own scheduling.
