What is Mod-Gearman
Mod-Gearman is a Naemon (formerly Nagios) addon which extends Naemon to run scalable and distributed setups. Worker nodes can be placed all over your network while keeping the simplicity of a central configuration. Mod-Gearman can even help to reduce the load on a single Naemon host, because of its smaller and more efficient way of executing host- and servicechecks.
Features
- Reduce load of your central Naemon machine
- Make Naemon scalable up to thousands of checks per second
- Easy distributed setups without configuration overhead. (central configuration)
- Real loadbalancing across all workers
- Real failover for redundant workers
- Embedded Perl support for very fast execution of Perl scripts
- Fast transport of passive check results with included tools like send_gearman and send_multi
