This is done by mirroring a whole block device via an assigned network. DRBD can be understood as network based raid-1. In the illustration above, the two orange boxes represent two servers that form an HA cluster. The boxes contain the usual components of a Linux™ kernel: file system, buffer cache, disk scheduler, disk drivers, TCP/IP stack and network interface card (NIC) driver. The black arrows illustrate the flow of data between these components. The orange arrows show the flow of data, as DRBD mirrors the data of a high availably service from the active node of the HA cluster to the standby node of the HA cluster. http://www.drbd.org/gresch2009-02-23T12:25:22+01:00cluster filesystem high-availability linux software sysadmin system DRBD® refers to block devices designed as a building block to form high availability (HA) clusters.

The difference is that it creates multiple windows on your console (with ncurses). It can also monitor wildcards: if another file matching the wildcard has a more recent modification date, it will automatically switch to that file. That way you can, for example, monitor a complete directory of files. Merging of 2 or even more logfiles is possible. It can also use colors while displaying the logfiles (through regular expressions), for faster recognition of what is important and what not. It can also filter lines (again with regular expressions). It has interactive menus for editing given regular expressions and deleting and adding windows. One can also have windows with the output of shell scripts and other software. When viewing the output of external software, MultiTail can mimic the functionality of tools like &#039;watch&#039; and such. For a complete list of features, look here.http://www.vanheusden.com/multitail/gresch2007-07-06T15:10:33+02:00admin linux shell software sysadmin system tail MultiTail lets you view one or multiple files like the original tail program.

The goal of the LiveTribe project is to simplify the life of the application developers and operational users, by eliminating the complexity and overhead of deploying and maintaining multiple management and monitoring tools (one for each application). Instead, the LiveTribe project provides an easily customisable and extensible plug-in architecture where management and monitoring capabilities for the most commonly-used applications (such as Jetty , Tomcat , Geronimo , etc.) are provided, and where custom functionality can be added easily. LiveTribe leverages the most popular standards for management/monitoring technologies, including JMX ( Java Management Extensions ), ARM ( Application Response Measurement ) and SLP ( Service Location Protocol ). The LiveTribe project is composed of modules (see the list of modules on the left). Each module implements the specific portion of the LiveTribe project and most of the time can be downloaded and used separately from other modules.http://livetribe.codehaus.org/gresch2007-06-10T22:31:37+02:00codehaus computing java management monitoring software system tools LiveTribe is a community effort to provide state-of-the-art management and monitoring tools, available for download and distribution under the open source <span class="info">...<div>LiveTribe is a community effort to provide state-of-the-art management and monitoring tools, available for download and distribution under the open source Apache License 2.0.
