My failover Nagios server runs a cron job that uses the check_nagios plugin to monitor the state of the primary Nagios server. If the primary server is up and running, the failover server will just rsync the state and configuration files from the primary. If the primary server becomes unavailable, the cron job will start the Nagios service on the failover server and keep it running until it detects the primary has recovered.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <div> <div style="border-right: medium none; border-width: 1pt medium medium; border-style: solid none none; border-color: rgb(181, 196, 223) -moz-use-text-color -moz-use-text-color; padding: 3pt 0in 0in;"> From: <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:ravishankar.gundlapali@wipro.com">ravishankar.gundlapali@wipro.com</a> [<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="mailto:ravishankar.gundlapali@wipro.com">mailto:ravishankar.gundlapali@wipro.com</a>] Sent: Monday, August 16, 2010 7:45 AM To: <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net">nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net</a> Subject: [Nagios-users] Using two nagios servers...<o:p></o:p> </div> </div> <o:p> </o:p> Hi All,<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> I am planning to configure all the servers in my client environment in two Nagios servers(in two different locations) in order to create Back up.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Please let me know whether there will be any overload on the servers as two Nagios servers will be polling them.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Thanks,<o:p></o:p> Ravi G<o:p></o:p> </div> <pre wrap=""> <fieldset class="mimeAttachmentHeader"></fieldset> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Make an app they can't live without Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-dev2dev">http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-dev2dev</a> </pre> <pre wrap=""> <fieldset class="mimeAttachmentHeader"></fieldset> _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net">Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users">https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users</a> ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null</pre> </blockquote> </body> </html>
