Red face Nagios with high availability


Hi Team,

Need to configure Nagios High availability in our production environment .I found only one solution i.e. perfparse with mysql while searching google.

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/download/contrib/documentation/misc/HighAvailability/NagiosHA_EN.pdf


The perfparse application is very old and stopped further development . Is there any other solution for Nagios HA configuration apart from perfparse apps .

Any suggestion is highly appreciable .

Regards
Krushna

Why don't you just use standard Linux heartbeat and treat it like any OTHER service?? That's what those things are in place for.

not sure if this will help but i'm planning on trying this for my asterisk high availability.. seems like it should be "fairly" easy a solution to port to just about any server if you know the config and log files needed.

alternatively, can't you just put up two identical nagios servers and have them watch each other?

How about sending alert .Both the nagios servers will send alert at a time then ,

yes if you have two identical servers they will both send alerts, however, this only happens when there's an issue... better two alerts than none...

...which is a kludge around using the built-in and robust hearbeat/corosync systems that Linux already has. If you need two systems in HA, that's the way to do it. If you add DRDB into the mix, you don't NEED to copy files from one server to another via CRON to have real HA. Data is written to BOTH systems at once (so to speak), and the 'disk' is available to both systems. Once heartbeat detects a failure, it brings up the services on the secondary system.

Aside from the two alerts, sure you can.
