Hi, I had some very basic queries on the Heartbeat 3 software.
1. For our Geo-redundancy requirement, we need some software to maintain the heartbeat between the active and the standby node and raise an alarm if either of the nodes are found to be down. Can I use the Heartbeat software for this purpose (only the messaging component). We do not want to do any resource manangement or automatic failover. We need the software to simply detect when the other node is down and raise a flag. Can this be achieved? 2. With Heartbeat 3, I believe we can use the messaging component alone without the other components. Is that right? 3. Ours will be a "warm" standby. We need the active server to raise an alarm when standby goes down and vice-versa. Can Heartbeat work both ways? 4. I understand that Heartbeat can write to syslog. Could you confirm? 5. Could the Heartbeat software be used to monitor services on the system?
