Thanks Steve, How did you manage to fail over the MRTG processes? did you create your own monitoring agents? or used generic agents from linux HA? i have recently reached a limitation on the number of monitored routers and my mrtg tools is crashing. is it safe to run two mrtg processes on the same instance each with a different cfg file?? or do i need to seperate them into different linux instances??

We have 2 linux boxes linked with LinuxHA and a shared external SSA disk unit. The filesystem, virtual IP and MRTG processes fail over between the two. The 'non-active' server hosts our Nagios installation which fails over in the opposite direction. In fact, we now have distributed MRTG as we monitor so many metrics, and have 2 such failover pairs and a single non-failover all linked into one big virtual frontend using the Routers2 distributed-MRTG features.
