I have added a failover node to one of my core servers and now have a Master and single Failover node. I have a few remote probes attached to the Master but these are not showing up on the failover node.

I have another Cluster that also has remote probes and I can see the remote probes and stats on either Master or Failover. These remote probes were added to the after the cluster was built. The others were already attached to the Master before the cluster was built.

What can I do to get them to show on both Master and Failover?

I found the answer:

Initially, existing remote probes are not visible on failover nodes. You need to set their Cluster Connectivity first in the Administrative Probe Settings to be visible and working with all cluster nodes. Choose option Probe sends data to all cluster nodes for each remote probe that you want to connect to all cluster nodes.

Hello,

Thank you for your KB-post.

Please open the PRTG Administration Tool on the Failover host -> the tab "Core Server" and there make sure that the Core Server of the Failover accepts the connections from the Remote Probes.

Please also make sure that the IP addresses of the Cluster nodes (entered under "Setup -> System Administration -> Cluster" on the Master) are reachable from the outside, because the Remote Probes are trying to attach to these IP addresses.

Does that help?
