# NAME
#      bluesync.sh  - A shell script to replicate Primary Xymon Serverblue record
#                     to Secondary standby Xymon server.
#
#
# REVISION HISTORY
#      07/12/2009    Base on getblue.sh and putblue.sh by Ralph Mitchell <ralphmitchell (at) gmail.com>
#                    http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2009/07/msg00214.html
#      10/19/2009    T.J. Yang merge two scripts into one for Xymon  High Availability setup.
#
# USAGE
#      This script is tested on Solaris 10 OS.
#      put this shell script in tasks.cfg as section like following.
#
# [bluesync]
# #     DISABLED
#       ENABLE
#       ENVFILE /etc/opt/hobbitserver42/hobbitserver.cfg
#       CMD /opt/hobbitserver42/ext/bluesync/bluesync.sh
#       LOGFILE $XYMONSERVERLOGS/bluesync.sh.log
#       INTERVAL 5m
#
# DESCRIPTION
#     Xymon keep its blue(maintenance) in memory, not in a file. This script
#     is to copy the blue records from primary Xymon A server into Xymon B secondary one.
#     This script is for use when running Active-Active type of Xymon server
#     High Availability setup. Xymon B is same as Xymon A except
#     the alerting function is disabled. There is another script running on Xymon B to
#     detect the outage of Xymon A and enable Xymon B to become primary one.
#
#
# Algorithems:
# 1. Pull blue records from Xymon1 and dump them into Xymon2's ext/xymon directory.
# 2. Process the lifetime fields' value
#     if lifetime is -1 and greater then zero
#       then run "bb xymon2.vzbi.com "disable hosname.test lifetime message"
#            to keep the blue record.
#     if  liftime =0
#       the run "bb xymon2.vzbi.com "enable  hostname.*d"  to enable this host blue record
#           since it is expired or was enabled on xymon1 server.
#

# RETURN CODE
#       SUCCESS (=0) - script completed sucessfully
#       ERROR   (=1) - error... bad things happened
#       WARNING (=2) - warning... something's not quite right, but it's
#                      not serious enough to prevent installation.

Subject: [Xymon] Synchronize disabled servers from one xymon installation to another?

Hi,

Is there an easy way to synchronize xymon disabled status (servers put in maintenance) from 1 xymon server to another (a standby server)?
