<p class="MsoNormal">I am trying to setup a Xymon master/slave configuration.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is it possible to set them up so that we only get alerts from the master, unless that is down, and then get them from the slave server?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And if so, could you provide a document and an example of the configuration.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
