FEATURE REQUEST - Failover operation of STM server

FormerIdeaCreator

Many of my customers have asked me if STM server itself runs as failover ( high availability ) configuration.

I know that the Orion Failover Engine does not provide any redundancy for STM.

Case Number: 369605 - STM Failover config

Until SolarWinds implement failover in STM, does anyone show me if/how it can be possible ?

Given that STM is used to monitor/profile some considerable enterprise environments, it would make sense that STM is capable of an equivalent level of High Availability (HA).

Some options outside of STM providing the HA itself would be to use a VM in a management cell/cluster with DR fail-over via something like SRM. Alternatives could include a cold-standby based on frequent backups or MySQL replication.

However, those options all work around STM. It would be good for STM to be self sufficient in a HA capacity, or at least have a Solarwinds supported "best practice" HA how-to guide.
