Re: [Nagios-users] distributed monitoring - same named hosts?

[Marc P. <mp...@en...>]

I would suggest coming up with a standard naming convention that =
incorporates location.

Mail-bna, mail-sfo (airport codes)
Mail-nash, mail-sanf (first 4 of city)

We mostly monitor routers in schools and use the following --

Mcgavock-hs.davidson.tn

That can easily be enhacned by prepending with a device type

Mail.mcgavock-hs.davidson.tn

How do you deal with same named hosts in a distributed monitoring=20
environment?

e.g. suppose I have a local nagios "sensor" at each of several different =

remote sales offices.  they use nsca to send the data back to the=20
central server.  Each office has a server called "mail".  What are the=20
various methods y'all are using to manage this situation and avoid=20
confusion.

Is there a $MACRO$ that identifies the nagios host the service check was =

executed FROM?
