[op5-users] Merlin documentation

[Mattias Ryrlén]

Heres a quick doc for two different setups.
Setup #1:
1 NOC
3 Pollers, Pollers peer each other (take over if to loaded or pollers has
gone down)

NOC Config: (Displaying 2 different ways to define the pollers)
poller merlin-poller-001 {
        address = 172.27.86.41
        port = 15551
        hostgroup = gbg-office
}

poller merlin-poller-002 { address = 172.27.86.42; port = 15551; hostgroup =
gbg-office; }
poller merlin-poller-003 { address = 172.27.86.43; port = 15551; hostgroup =
gbg-office; }

merlin-poller-001 Config: (poller3 and 4 has the same conf, just different
peer names/ip)
noc merlin-noc { address = 172.27.86.40; port = 15551; }
peer merlin-poller-002 { address = 172.27.86.42; port = 15551; }
peer merlin-poller-003 { address = 172.27.86.43; port = 15551; }

Setup #2:
1 NOC
3 Pollers, Pollers don't peer.

poller merlin-poller-001 { address = 172.27.86.41; port = 15551; hostgroup =
gbg-office; }
poller merlin-poller-002 { address = 172.27.86.42; port = 15551; hostgroup =
sth-office; }
poller merlin-poller-003 { address = 172.27.86.43; port = 15551; hostgroup =
dmz; }

Peer config:
noc merlin-noc {
        address = 172.27.86.40;
        port = 15551;
}


You need to make sure you have the same config for each
hostgroup/host/service_name on the noc/poller


Hope that explains alittle how to set it up.
