IPHA - Monitoring server status

The IP-HA system reports changes of the server state to the Event Handler.

This article describes how to configure the Event Handler in order to report current server state to the System log.

Error reporting

The following strings will be reported to the System Log whenever there is a change of state:

• One of the servers is operational, and the other server is in standby mode:

Primary Server is operational. Both servers are running.

Secondary Server is operational. Both servers are running.

• One of the servers is operational, and the other server is Out of Service:

Primary Server is operational. ALARM: The link to the other server is down, or the server itself is down.

Secondary Server is operational. ALARM: The link to the other server is down, or the server itself is down.

Configuration

From AlphaPro, select Exchange & System > Events, and Insert a new event with the following properties:
