Hello, I am setting up a high-availablilty kamailio system using UCARP to failover between active and standby instances. To detect failure, we intend to use Monit. Monit can monitor the kamailio PID and start the process when needed (Example on the wiki http://www.kamailio.org/dokuwiki/doku.php/install:configure-initd-script) and it can also do OPTIONS pings to verify it is working. If the pings fail we will initiate a ucarp swap.
However if the server is currently in standby, it does not have the V-IP address, so I don't want to run the OPTIONS pings (I think).
Does anyone use a similar system and can provide an example of how ucarp, monit and kamailio can work together?
Many thanks,
Hugh Waite
