Dependancies

[kemco]

Hello togheter

I have a question, maybe someone with experience can help me out here.

What do i have:

I have 2 monitoring servers:
- zabbix1
- zabbix2

I have 4 clients which i want to monitor:
- client1
- client2
- client3
- client4

Messaging:
- Telegram messaging when one of the triggers hit


--- So far this works. i have 4 triggers for each clients (cpu load to high, memory load to high, storage space to low and client down). Also 1 trigger for each zabbix monitoring server (zabbix1 down so zabbix2 gives a telegram message and vice versa) ---


What do i want now:
Now, for an example, client 1 goes down, zabbix1 sends a telegram message but also zabbix2 sends a telegram message. So i get always double messages. I am hoping that i can "fix" that with dependancies. Zabbix1 is the "main" monitoring server and should always send all telegram messages. As long as zabbix1 is up and running, zabbix2 should never send a telegram message. Zabbix2 should only send a telegram message when zabbix1 is down and from this point on it should send all telegram messages till zabbix1 is up and running again.


is this possible?

I am running Zabbix6.0 on the monitoring servers.

This is how it looks

You have 2 independent Zabbix servers, you monitor your clients from 2 different places. You will get 2 separate notifications... Building somekind of trigger dependency here is ... nearly impossible.
Why do you need 2 separate instances and not HA setup?

what is an HA setup?^^

I wanted to have 2 independent monitoring servers for the case one goes down. But if there is a better option (like the HA you say) please tell me, i am very interested

Yea .. what he said..

All right. it seems what i have is not necessary. i will switch to cluster. I will try to follow the documentation, although its not easy explained (i am pretty new to this stuff). Maybe i will find a youtube video. Thanks for the help guys.

wait. how does this work? right now, i have 2 monitoring servers, independent from each other. That means i also have 2 front end / zabbix control web service. So if zabbix1 goes down, i still can take a look at zabbix2 what did happen and whats the problem etc.

When i have it with cluster, do i also have as much front end as much nodes i have or how does this work? do i have only 1 with the web service and i lose the control when its down and the cluster activates node 2?

would someone take the time and explain me this shortly, please

I have never tried to build a HA setup with 2 all-in-one servers..:P And it probably will not work out ... But I would assume, you will have 1 GUI per server (it will look for servers from DB)... But you should have one separate DB ... possibly also built as HA solution.
