Outbound Check Transfer Settings

These settings affect Nagios XI's ability to send host and service checks results to remote Nagios servers. Enabling outbound checks is important in distributed monitoring environments.

Global Options
NRDP
NSCA

Enable outbound check transfers

Global Data Filters

Filters allow you to optionally exclude (or only include) certain checks in outbound data based on various criteria. Filters apply globally to data sent out via both NSCA and NRDP.

Filter Mode:

The operating mode of any filter(s) you define.

Exclude matches will send only data that does not match defined filter(s).

Include matches will send only that that does match defined filter(s).

Host Name Filters:

Specify one or more regular expressions that match a defined host name pattern. Specify each pattern/expression on a new line. Slashes are required.

Example: /^localhost/

Enable NRDP outbound check transfers

NRDP Settings

Fill out the IP address(es) of the host(s) that NRDP data should be sent to. You must supply an authentication token for each target.

Important: Each target host must have NRDP installed and be configured with the corresponding token you specified above. Additionally, this Nagios XI server must be able to contact each remote host on port 80 TCP (HTTP) or 443 TCP (HTTPS) in order to access the NRDP API. You may have to open firewall ports to allow access.

Target Hosts:

Enable NSCA outbound check transfers

NSCA Settings

Fill in the IP address(es) of the host(s) that NSCA data should be sent to.

Important: Each target host must be running NSCA and be configured with the same password and encryption method you specified above. Additionally, this Nagios XI server must be able to contact each remote host on port 5667 TCP in order to access NSCA. You may have to open firewall ports to allow access.
