Distributed location server monitoring

[Thomas Goirand <thomas@goirand.fr>]

Hi,

We use Nagios internally to monitor about 50 servers. The biggest
problem that we have is that it sends lot's of false positive because it
monitors more the connections between one point to another instead of
the real services that have to be up. The rate of false positive is just
too high, so it's kind of unusable. We ignore too many warnings, and I'm
sure it will end up with something really down and we wont check for it.

Is there a distributed kind-of nagios system that would use multiple
nodes to check, and if (and ONLY if) all contactable monitoring servers
report a problem, then we receive an alert ?

P.S: We don't want to have multiple points where to setup monitoring,
that would be head hakes...
