"check_nagios_summary" is a software tool that enables distributed monitoring through Nagios. It simplifies the monitoring process and allows for efficient surveillance of network systems.
If you're looking for a distributed Nagios monitoring enabler, check_nagios_summary is the plugin you need. It simplifies distributed monitoring using Nagios and enables a Nagios system to check and summarize the status of other (satellite) Nagios systems. This plugin is helpful because it eliminates the need to have all services defined on the satellite host also defined on the main host, which can be a hassle to administer.
To use check_nagios_summary, you'll need Nagios on the server you want to monitor. You'll need to make a few changes, such as adding nagstat to /etc/services and creating a script called nagios-status. The nagios status-file is the file pointed to by status_file in your nagios.cfg file. You'll also need to copy the check_nagios_summary binary somewhere in your filesystem and add a command to your Nagios checkcommands.cfg.
Once everything is set up, you can use check_nagios_summary in your Nagios services.cfg file. Just replace 'host' with the IP address of the satellite Nagios system and replace 'port' with 33333 or the port number you chose. Use -x if the satellite system runs Nagios 1.0 or -X if it runs Nagios 2.0.
This release of check_nagios_summary adds support for Nagios 3.0 and includes stability fixes. Overall, if you need a simple and efficient solution for distributed Nagios monitoring, check_nagios_summary is a great plugin to use.
