How to "load balance" a particular check?

Post by dlukinski »

Hello XI Support

We've got some series for checks, which are OK to run on 1 of 2 nodes (even if produce "WARN"), but not ok when not running at all ("CRIT")
- how to configure 2 different NRPE checks to behave like the "load balance one"?

Thank you

BPI can be used to group two services to get an overall health - https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... BPI_v2.pdf

Screenshot attached would show OK for the group when both are ok, CRITICAL when both are in warning or critical state, and WARNING if only one is in a warning or critical state.

Will do. But first I think I'll point out this neat little plugin: check_cluster in case you want an alternative to the bpi route.
