Sending active checks to 2 servers

[Neurotox]

Hi,

In order to have redundancy in our monitoring we want to use 2 Zabbix servers on 2 different site.

In Zabbix 1.6.x (an before) an agent can only send active checks to 1 server.

I'm thinking about running 2 instances of the agent on each server with 2 different configuration file.

Does any one have an another idea or any comment?

Thanks,
François

Hi,

You can run 1 instance and use zabbix "passif" check or you can
run 2 instances and use zabbix active check.

Right now, I don't see any downside of using 2 agents except the fact that it using a little bit more resources but I think that is really negligible on any recent system.

It's easy to configure 2 instances on Windows and on Linux, if you need help let me know.

Of course, you could also modify the code of the agentd if you want
