Multiple services - ok if one running

Post by clauskc »

Hi,

Have 6 servers where all have a orchestrator service installed but only running on one of them.
What is the easiest way to make a service that check these 6 services and its ok as long as there is 1 active and 5 inactive?

One way to make this work would be to use BPI groups. Create a new BPI group and add the 6 servers to it as members.

Set your health thresholds for the BPI group to be:

Warning: 2%
Critical: 1%

Click on "Write Configuration".

Run the BPI wizard, selecting the BPI group you just created in Step 2 of the wizard. The BPI Process:<BPI Group> service will show OK if at least one of your servers is UP, and will show CRITICAL if all of them are down.
