We'd like to replace bb with hobbit but there's no way we can't do without the
bb failover mechanism. We have 2 separate data centers, and while there are bb
servers in both data centers monitoring the hosts on both sides, only side "a"
does notifications. When side "b" can not reach side "a", then side "b" "fails
over" and takes on the notification tasks, until side "a" becomes reachable again.
There's nothing like that in hobbit yet, but if there were, we'd be able to
make the switch.
I won't say it is being worked on, but it is definitely on my agenda.
My own setup is identical to yours, except that we have a procedure for
doing the failover from site "a" to site "b" manually. I've done some
planning for how to implement an active/passive cluster-like setup in
Hobbit, so ... it's coming.
