Hi, Harald !
.. good question ... but it should not be a religious question .. :-)
.. but i think, in both ways, you need a registration for the
rights to append your notes ...
So obvisously, it should the best way for all Xymon's to have one
and only Wiki/Howto Side ...
For Xymonton would be Galen the right person ....
Or shall I send it directly to the list
hmm, maybe the quickest solution ...
thanks & cheers,

Hi Martin,
I can of course write a doc about our setup to share my experiences. As I saw, there was a bit of a discussion about the right place for it, so, question to the list:
Where shall I upload it? Or shall I send it directly to the list, and someone (TJ?) picks it + includes it?

Hi,
for the failover part, what about using a real cluster like Linux HA > cluster with DRBD? I've setup such a system a few weeks ago for us.

Take a look at the Xymon alert man page:

I don't know about alert failover.

big brother does. We depend on that behavior to generate tickets by
sending traps to netcool whenever there is a bb alert condition.

Can xymon 4.4.0 do these things, or is there a way to implement this
behavior with some appropriate add-ons?
