Hi, I’m new to using Telegraf and trying to find a way to provide a failover server for my Telegraf server.
My current set up is:
- A Telegraf server with the vsphere Plugin on RH7
- A failover telegraf server with the same .conf file but the telegraf server is stopped
- A GTM configured with both servers giving priority to the primary server
- If the primary server goes down the GTM will switch the DNS to the failover server. At this point, the failover is manual then I would start up the service on the failover server.
I’m trying to find a way to automate the failover where the service would be monitored and automatically started on the failover server. I don’t want the service running on both servers simultaneously and have them both collecting metrics from the vCenter.
Any idea? Is anyone else providing a failover Telegraf server?
thanks!
