hi

we have also satellites in cluster in each country and they report through xymonproxy to a central cluster xymon.
The satellite acts as collector and report to the central. But they can be use isolated for a local view of the country.

For each satellite and for the central; the cluster solution uses Heartbeat and DRBD replication to have redundancy.

What is the purpose of checking xymonproxy. don t understand.

cheers

I use a proxy because we have many satellite sites (of which this is one of them), all over the world. They all feed back to our main xymon server in the UK.

For now I've fudged it, by creating an ext script that runs in the xymon-client. If it sees that the xymonproxy process is not running then it sends a clear for those tests, otherwise it does nothing.

hello

here my setup :


server1 and server2 share a fs (gfs, drbd what you want) so we have the
xymon data replicated on both device at anytime.

HA hold the vip on the server1. The server1 run xymon and all your
monitoring tools. If the server1 goes down hw switch to server2 and
run xymon on server2. And you don't need xymonproxy.

hope that help

Can't do that, and we don't want to have a secondary xymon server
there as this will very much complicate our alerting process.
