I’ve backported keepalived from Debian Lenny to Etch (4.0). Both i386 and amd64 are available for download here. There was no need for changes from the original package, only a recompile.
I’m thinking about packaging feedbackd and use it together with keepalived to adjust the weight of realservers during runtime. I’m not sure if it’s feasible, else I will write my own poor mans implementation.
Because the release of Nagios 3.0 is comming closer, I wanted to have a look at it. I’ve found some nice packages on the blog of Sven Velt. Those packages are for i386 only and I needed amd64 packages. I just took the sources and recompiled them for the amd64 architecture. You can get them here. I take no credit for the packages because I merely compiled it.
Nagios 3 looks good. It has some nice new features like the multi line output for plugins. This wil likely make it possible to run more checks with less stress on the Nagios server. I’ll post more when I find more nice features
