hi everybody,
anyone know if it is possible set up observium in high availability? I'm thinking to use it for all my servers but I have necessity to have 2 or more nodes
anyone can help me? thanks in advance

Hi,
You can set up 2 separate instances. (note this will double the load on your polled devices).

hi Tom,
thanks for your reply I would configure it in high availability without 2 or more instances this create a lot of workload for the machines
it seems I cannot to do that wrong I?

Can you rephrase the question without meaningless buzzwords?
How do you "configure something in high availability" ?

You can start double observium servers and made database replication for example.

I set mine up in VMWare on a HA between 4 nodes. There are other servers there; however, that works too.

What is the value of high availability for a non-service affecting support application?
Needless complication for no appreciable gain is the cornerstone of all IT failure.

In our case, we are hoping to ultimately replace our current system that reports on burstable bandwidth usage with Observium; once that occurs, downtime with Observium means we risk losing money, making the additional complication worth it. It does seem like a problem best solved outside of Observium instead of within though.

In this instance you really want data security, rather than high availability. HA in this situation creates way more scope for failure, and way more scope for data loss.
I used to look after the tech side of a datacentre in the UK. We had two very large and very expensive UPSes. Our local utility power was pretty reliable. We had one failure in 3 years, on New Year's eve.
We had about 4 power failures related to the UPSes, specifically related to having two redundant UPSes. The UPS engineers always used to talk about how it was funny that adding a UPS in many regions (with stable power) actually lowers the reliability of the power, and adding two of them always seems to make it even worse rather than better.
This is one of the instances which has made me wary of "HA for HA sake because we read about it in IT weekly magazine". I've seem similar effects in lots of networking scenarios, but the UPS one is always the most graphic, I think. :) adam.
