[Gluster-users] Nagios monitoring of replicated volumes..

[Stas Oskin]

Hi.

This is an interesting topic indeed.

I'm planning to have each server ping it's AFR pair, and if one of them goes
down, the moment it comes up, to run ls -lR on the mount.

Perhaps others can share additional ideas?

Regards.
