Hello, I am using mon to monitor several services on multiple hosts in a network.
Each host runs a mon daemon with a mon.cf configured according to the services to watch; this depends of the kind of apps. installed on this host. An application may need access to (a service on) an other host, so there is a watch checking for this remote service. When such a "server host" goes down (or crashes, or ...) , than there can (will) be several alerts raised, one on each "client host". This will, for example, result in duplicated and redondant email messages. How can such a behavior avoided ?. I am thinking about forwarding all alerts to a "master-mon" where some filtering would happend before emitting an alert. This "master-mon" must be dynamically elected in order to avoid a single-point of failure, handle a failure resulting in a network split, a mail-server failure, a.s.o. ..... Are there features the current mon (1.2 ?) provides that can be hepful to implement such a thing ?, maybe there are better ways to achieve what I need ? Thank's for any hint. _______________________________________________ mon mailing list mon@linux.kernel.org http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/mon
