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.
