Hi,
I have built a similar solution with only one difference: I am using HEARTBEAT instead of ucarp. In heartbeat it is possible moving "haresources" from one active host to another. So, I activate MONIT (and mysql + kamailio) only when the resources (e.g. virtual IP address) are switched from one host to the other.
A sample config of heartbeat looks like:
[...] Srv1 drbddisk::dbdata \ Filesystem::/dev/drbd0::/mnt/drbdfiles::ext3 \ 10.0.0.1 mysql kamailio start-monit [...]
Maybe you can use a pendant to these 'resources' in ucarp, too. I do not know any details.

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
