High Availability

If you have products configured in a High Availability configuration e.g. Active/Passive pair you have the option to configure HA Groups.

HA Groups are important for telemetry health monitoring and notifications. An example scenario is if you have an Active/Passive product configuration where the Active node consistently sends data to a local collector, however the Passive node sends intermittent data. In this scenario the Active node status would be reported as OK, however the Passive node status may appear as Critical despite there not being a telemetry ingestion problem.

HA Group telemetry monitoring is handled based on the ‘best’ state of all members e.g in the scenario above if a HA Group has two members and one member has an OK status, and the second member has Critical status the overall group state will be considered OK.
