Subject: [hobbit] TS - Is there a setup for an HA pair of servers
Is there documentation for setting up a High Availability (HA) pair of
servers for xymon?
I have a Dell R-series server (new) and a Dell 1850 server that I can
use.
I have created a SCRIPT and RSYNC between the two servers that the 1850
watches the R-series.
If the R-series fails to answer, the 1850 will then get the files from
the RSYNC directory (edit a few items), install the hobbit-alerts.cfg
file and take over the primary responsibilities of alerting.
Both systems currently have to watch over all devices - not efficient.
I copy over the files from each server every hour - thus also having a
backup of each servers special files.
HA is the appropriate solution, is it possible? Is there a write-up on
how to set it up?
Thanks,
Tom Schmitt
