Enhancement - Support Multiple MK Livestatus instances #4

Closed skywalka closed 10 years ago

Add support for Multiple MK Livestatus instances in a distributed Nagios deployment

xkilian commented 11 years ago

This is entirely doable, with a state display to show which backends are available or not. Also being able to disable a backend temporarily in the UI.

@xkilian I'm good to update the scripts to support multiple mk livestatus instances but I am curious how we could setup a state display to show which backends are available or not?

The splunk4nagios dashboard needs to check the state of a Livestatus check, if the state if bad, set the backend as unavailable. There is an example on the MK Multisite web site. http://mathias-kettner.de/checkmk_multisite_statushost.html This will avoid annoying backend timeouts. You can also expose the state of the Livestatus backends with a dropdown to change the state manually to admin down.
