R: how to manage a distributed configuration

[Marco Borsani]

Hi

Thank you, but I know what to do, what to change in the files between the
main (with active and passive hosts/services) and the slave servers (only
active hosts/services).
I don't know how to control the configuration using the mysql DB (and if is
better use only one DB or three).

Marco

I once build a solution similar to that (sans the mysql ) that used rsync .

I used to make the modification for a site on the central server and then
send via rsync the files to the remote machines , this will also trigger
another script on each remote machine that changed the service/host
definition from passive to active (simpel sed or perl will to it) , do a
check ( nagios -v) and reload ( if any errors found in the nagios -v stage
it would mail the IT team and exit )
