Nagios Support Forum

Hi Team,

we have active/active scenario NagiosXI server running but notification is enabled in only one XI.
If the Production goes down we don't want to waste time in restoring in DR, instead of that we want to replicate Prod's schedule downtime file in DR server and start the alerting in DR.

1) The downtime configuration done for some host in Primary server should be replicated to DR.
which is the file to be pushed in DR and can it be scheduled or we can manually push it.

The scheduled downtime is stored in the retention.dat file so technically you could copy the downtime info from the retention.dat and then on the DR server you would stop the nagios process, add them to the retention.dat, and then start the nagios service again.
