Master/slave server configuration. 🔗 link

I am trying to setup a Xymon master/slave configuration.

Is it possible to set them up so that we only get alerts from the master, unless that is down, and then get them from the slave server?
And if so, could you provide a document and an example of the configuration.

Both servers are Xymon 4.3.7, running on RHEL 6.2

Thanks

This will be your only alert in alerts.cfg on the slave server


HOST=primary  COLOR=red SERVICE=bbd,conn DURATION>2
        SCRIPT /usr/local/scripts/xymSecondaryTakeOver $NG-ONCALL
        MAIL $NG-ADMIN


Take over:

echo "`date  '+%a %D %T'` :: $BBHOSTNAME . $BBSVCNAME" >/var/log/messages
MESSAGE="Xymon: $BBHOSTNAME's $BBSVCNAME service is $BBCOLORLEVEL. Secondary taking over"
export USER=xymon
export HOST=$HOSTNAME
if [ "$RCPT" = "" ]; then
        export RCPT=$1
fi
echo "mailing: $RCPT \"$MESSAGE\"" >> /var/log/messages
echo  $MESSAGE | /bin/mail $RCPT
XETC="/etc/xymon"

cp ${XETC}/alerts.cfg.primary ${XETC}/alerts.cfg

Release:

echo "`date '+%a %D %T'` :: $BBHOSTNAME . $BBSVCNAME" >/var/log/messages
MESSAGE="Xymon: $BBHOSTNAME's $BBSVCNAME service is $BBCOLORLEVEL. Secondary turning down"
export USER=xymon
if [ "$RCPT" = "" ]; then
        export RCPT=$1
fi
echo "mailing: $RCPT \"$MESSAGE\"" >> /var/log/messages
echo $MESSAGE | /bin/mail $RCPT
XETC="/etc/xymon"

cp ${XETC}/alerts.cfg.secondary ${XETC}/alerts.cfg


I guess I should  update that to not use BBHOSTNAME, etc.


Then I have a cron job that copies (rdists) the pertinent files from the primary to the secondary. I also have logic in the scripts that make sure they are only run on the proper system.
