Does OpsCenter have to be running all the time in order to collect the cluster stats?

Hi, I have one question about OpsCeneter: does it have to be running all the time in order to collect and store the metrics on each node within the cluster? Who does the job to write metrics on each node, the agent on the node or OpsCenter? Thanks, Mike This email was sent to you by Thomson

Thank Nick for your fast response. So if the OpsCenter is down, then the stats for the cluster won't be collected. Is there any safe-guard mechanism, like a duplicate OpsCenter on second machine to monitor the cluster in case of single OpsCenter failure? Mike -Original Message-

No, currently there is not failover mechanism built into OpsCenter. The agents could be reconfigured to talk to a different machine but this would be a manual process and involve additional configuration changes. On Thu, Dec 15, 2011 at 12:13 PM, mike...@thomsonreuters.com wrote: Thank Nick for
