How to create failover cluster of Cacti Servers ?

Post by harbinur »

Is it possible to create failover cluster set of Cacti servers which will work if one host goes down ?

Yes, but its not a standard config as you must do all the clustering manually and abstracted outside of Cacti.

Can you please give an example of how to do that ?
my Cacti server is virtual and when host pc does down,it also does down.

I wanted to transfer it to a different server but did not work. So now i want two cacti servers work in fail-over and make available online.

Look into mysql clustering, for starters.
then the harder part is getting cacti to use both... and/or using two cacti web servers. the new alpha 1.0 code can handle multiple pollers/servers, so it'll get there eventually.
