Way back, I wrote a couple of scripts to propagate the "disabled" status from one Xymon server to another. T.J.Yang made some improvements, which you'll find here:

I don't have an HA Xymon setup, so I don't know if this was obsoleted by changes in Xymon since 2009, but back then the disable messages weren't being propagated from one Xymon server to the other.

I had that setup, but not any more…
This is the KISS principle.
Install another xymon server at your DC site and edit all client/etc/xymonclient.cfg
XYMSRV="0.0.0.0" # IP address of the Xymon server
XYMSERVERS="10.0.1.72 10.0.2.72" # IP of multiple Xymon servers. XYMSRV must be "0.0.0.0".
Voila! a KISS xymon cluster.
You can even have just a couple of clients sending just to one of the servers if required, but it get a bit nasty after a while.
We had 2 pages one with our normal DC and the other showed just the DR.
Of course you still have the main page that shows all.

Hi all
We have Xymon up and running, but want a second server in our other DC.
How do we set up a 2nd server, and (hopefully) keep them in sync?
Is there a document on how to set this up anywhere?
Thanks
Vernon
