Metrics Collection in Main-Standby Setup
In a redundant FOXMAN-UN setup, the InfluxDB Telegraf agent is not running on the standby server (i.e., Telegraf is stopped when FOXMAN-UN is stopped). Consequently, no InfluxDB data collection will happen on the standby server, including any server internal data collection.
Please note:
The FOXMAN-UN database backup file includes Health Monitoring configuration data but does not include the metrics data by default.
→ When creating and restoring a backup using the command line commands ‘edbackup’ and ‘edbrestore’, the -x option includes metrics data stored in InfluxDB. However, this option should not be used in productive environments.
