I think maybe the server keeps the disabled status in memory, so simply copying files just isn't going to do it. This should do the trick:<div><br></div><div>===== server/ext/getblues.sh =====</div><div><div> #!/bin/bash</div>
<div><br></div><div> . /home/xymon/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg</div><div><br></div><div> $BB localhost "hobbitdboard color=blue fields=hostname,testname,disabletime,dismsg" | $SED -e 's/\\/\\\\/g'</div>
<div>===== end of file =====</div><div><br></div><div>===== server/ext/putblues.sh =====</div><div> #!/bin/bash</div><div><div><br></div><div> . /home/xymon/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg</div><div><br></div><div>
cat $1 | while read line</div><div> do</div><div> OFS="$IFS"</div><div> IFS="|"</div><div> set $line</div><div> IFS="$OFS"</div><div> x=`echo "$4" | $SED -e 's/\\\n/\n/g'`</div>
<div> $BB localhost "disable $1.$2 $3 $x"</div><div> done</div><div>===== end of file =====</div><div><br></div><div>1) on the primary, whenever the other files are copied, run this and copy the file:</div>
<div><br></div><div> server/ext/getblues.sh > server/tmp/blues.out</div></div><div><br></div><div>2) whenever the secondary needs to take over, have it run the other script:</div><div><br></div><div> server/etc/putblues.sh server/tmp/blues.out</div>
<div><div><br></div><div>That should load up the disabled status messages into the secondary.</div><div><br></div><div>NB: I've only tested this on a single server, making a slight change to the messages in the blues.out file before reloading it. The change loads up just fine, so it would *probably* work on a different server. YMMV :)</div>

</div>we use cron job to pull selected bb-host*,hobbit-alert*,hobbit-data and others from hobbit1 to hobbit2 using rsync.<br>
and with hobbit server side module to check health of hobbit1, if hobbit1 is bad hobbit2 will enable its bbpage worker module to assume the failed hobbit1 alert service.<br>
<br>
Two issues remains.<br>
<br>
1. maintenance records are not failed over yet.thus hobbit2 send out false alerts.<br>
2. rrd files on hobbit1 need to be patched with rrd data from hobbit2 for hobbit1's down period.<br>
<br>
