Component Cluster
Title EXPERIMENTAL: Clustering of Appliances is now possible
Date Apr 28, 2014
Level Major Change
Class New Feature
Compatibility Compatible - no manual interaction needed
Appliance Version 1.1.0

It is now possible to connect two appliances in a active/passive failover cluster. In this mode two Check_MK Appliances can be connected together to increase the availability of your monitoring.

Please keep in mind that we treat this feature as experimental. There are no known bugs left related to the clustering feature, but we want to collect some experiences first before providing the clustering as stable feature.

It is possible to create clusters with these devices:

  • 2x Check_MK rack1
  • 2x Check_MK virt1
  • 2x Check_MK rail1
  • 1x Check_MK rack1, 1x Check_MK virt1

For details take a look at the Check_MK Appliance documentation.
