Introduction

opHA introduces the concept of a Primary & multiple Poller servers:

  • The Primary is the server that keeps the information of all the pollers and it is where we can read all the information from.
  • The Pollers, collect their own data, and send that information to the Primary when it is requested. 

The process of synchronising the information of the nodes is made by the Primary. The Primary requests the information for each poller with pull requests. 

The first time the pull script runs, it requests all the data for each configured poller. Next time, it requests only the modified data since the last synchronisation.
