Integrating Mod-Gearman With Nagios XI The Industry Standard in IT Infrastructure Monitoring Purpose The purpose of this document is to provide a guide to integrating Mod-Gearman with Nagios XI to introduce distributed monitoring in your environment. Mod-Gearman and its worker processes intercept checks made by Nagios and run them externally, process them, and send them back to the Nagios server. In this way Mod-Gearman has been shown to greatly reduce the load taken on by the Nagios server while still keeping its speed and efficiency.
