Maintaining Parent-Child across xi servers

Post by cwscribner »

Hi all.

Is there a way to maintain parent-child relationships across xi servers? At my client's site, they have an individual xi (xia) holding ~2700 devices and its time to open up a new xi (xib) server for the next ~2000 devices. However, some of the new devices have parents on xia. Any help would be appreciated.

We don't have a feature like that currently that spans across several servers, although it's a cool idea. The way you'd have to view something like that would be with a higher-level central overview server, that maybe had all of the host check results pushed up to it. However this server would have to be more for central viewing than for the actual monitoring and alerting. Right now parent relationships can only be established on the same server.
