Orions fails to follow a node that has a dynamic IP

When we fail a server to another server in a geographic cluster, orion fails to poll the new IP address of the geo server. What is the best way to notify orion of the new IP so the polling continues as designed.

  • Hi,

    There are generally two ways how to ensure that polling will continue.

    1.    First way is to check node property “Dynamic IP Address”. This property should be used if the IP address of the Node is obtained from DHCP or BOOTP.   You can check this property on Web Node Management Page-> Edit Properties -> Check “Dynamic IP Address
    2.    Second way is to manually change IP address of the Node on the Edit Properties page. This way is convenient if the change is  permanent.

    If first neither second advice fails, please check that you are able to ping the node.

    Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

    Thanks

  • I have the property box checked for Dymanic but it doesn't seem to be working. How often does Orion clear the DNS resolution table for these hosts so it can get the correct IP? Option two doesn't seem very feasible unless I script it to update the database directly as failing over many hosts to the new geo-IP would take quite a while. I'll try again tomorrow but I am open for any more ideas. Thanks.
