No rush at all (I am about to head home for the day)! I appreciate all the time you have spent helping.
My current goal is the same one I started with. Its been a fun puzzle 
.
I am just looking to setup distributed monitoring. Master communicates with Satellites which communicate with Agents. Currently the setup is just a simple POC setup. Master server, Satellite server, Windows agent, Linux agent, and a Meraki switch are the only devices involved here. All three of those agents should only ever be checked by the Satellite. Satellite reports back to Master. Master displays the dashboard. The checks being performed are just ping (hostalive), ssh (check-ssh), http (check-http), and winrm (check-winrm).
Have a wonderful day!
