This plugin allows you to execute Nagios check scripts on remote hosts. * Configure Gogios on both servers to monitor each other using the NRPE plugin. Add a check to the Gogios configuration file (`/etc/gogios.json`) on both servers that uses the NRPE plugin to execute a check script on the other server. For example, if you have Server A and Server B, the configuration on Server A should include a check for Server B, and vice versa. -* Set up alternate cron intervals on both servers.

This will ensure that if one server goes down, the other server will continue monitoring and sending notifications. * Gogios doesn't support clustering. So it means when both servers are up, unhandled alerts will be notified via E-Mail twice; from each server once. That's the trade-off for simplicity. ## Conclusion: |
