Hi there.

I wonder if I could get your opinions on the following as a cheap HA
solution - as opposed to a shared disk and some form of networked file
system:

N.B. The terms "master" and "slave" are used with reference to HA.

1. The master rsyncs its /usr/local/nagios directory with the slave
after every reload.

2. The slave runs as a MySQL replicating database.

Simple, right ?

This way both the filesystem and database stay in sync without having
to share a disk.

Problems I see:

1. Do the files under /usr/local/nagios only change during a reload of
the master or do other processes - cron jobs perhaps - also affect
these files ?

If so then I guess we could just schedule an rsync of the directory
every 5 mins between master and slave but this isn't ideal.

Can anyone forsee other problems / solutions ?

Thanks very much.
