I'm interested in knowing what everyone is doing for redundancy. I currently have 2 hobbit servers and each one performs the same tests as the other.
I find this to be a bit wasteful and am looking for the active/passive type of configuration that has been talked about on this list before.
This configuration works fine, except for alerting. In order to not be overwhelmed by messages, I only have one hobbit server performing the alerting task, the other only sends alerts on the other hobbit host.
I have considered using the "depends=" test, but then I have to maintain two separate bb-hosts files, rather than copying and pasting from one to the other.
Is there a better way than what I'm doing? My goal is to have both servers configured the same, as much as possible, and have only one of them at a time send me alerts.
I'd love to know what you guys are doing to get around these limits. I could easily have missed something in the newest update that solves this problem, but I haven't seen it yet.
Thanks for your thoughts on this subject.
