well, it's usually not possible. we use OpenBSD, because it supports "carpdev" option (FreeBSD does not support it)
most of our carp clusters run on single address. no spare IP space. we could do ssh and ping carp peer (some trouble with preemption), but we do not want to stick with certain IP addresses. we would like to monitor "in general" 1) define new carp cluster for monitoring 2) ssh to it and monitorcarp peer in general without specifying it's address 2012/1/13 Simon Perreault <simon.perrea...@viagenie.ca> > On 01/12/2012 01:18 PM, P P;Q Q P(P8P?P8Q P8P= wrote: > >> we are using nagios for monitoring and it is running on separate server. >> we >> do not want to monitor server from inside. >> we want to run run something via ssh and see whether carp peer is dead or >> not. >> > > Give each server it's unique IP address. > Use a third IP address for carp. > Monitor all three addresses. > > Simon > -- > DTN made easy, lean, and smart --> > http://postellation.viagenie.**ca<http://postellation.viagenie.ca> > NAT64/DNS64 open-source --> http://ecdysis.viagenie.ca > STUN/TURN server --> http://numb.viagenie.ca
