Does anyone here know if Nagios is something I need to install on every server I wish to monitor? Can I combine the results of multiple sites into single reports or do I just need to have multiple reports?
Also: Is there a compelling reason to use Nagios 3 when nagios2 is in the repos on the server I want to monitor?
You don't need to install it all, but you may want to install something there to make the status results you want available. In nagios3, there's Nagios Remote Plugin Execution and corresponding bundle of packages for those.
Some reasons for nagios3 are listed at http://nagios.cvs.sourceforge.net/*checkout*/nagios/nagios/html/docs/whatsne... and compelling depends on how you see them.
Hope that helps,
