Example script for failing over a set of standard zones based on the syslog notification of an Active Failover Zone. This script is meant to be run with a rules set of 50 or less. The script is NOT a production read script, it is merely an example. For example there is no in depth logging, no security (or firewall security) and the actions are very basic doing no checking. It is a good place to start when catching syslog notifications though. See bottom of README for the full license text


Usage: failover_listener.py [options]

        Server for responding to DynECT syslog errors for multiple failovers

Options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -p PORT, --port=PORT  Port to server on [default 514]
  -a ADDRESS, --address=ADDRESS
                        Local NIC address to bind to [default 0.0.0.0]
  -r RULES, --rules=RULES
                        CSV of failover rules [default rules.csv]
  -s SENSITIVITY, --sensitivity=SENSITIVITY
                        How many probes must be down to kick into failover.
                        Valid options are 'all', 'majority' and 'any' [default
                        all]


Rules.csv format:
zone, node, primary_ip, failover_ip

Example Rules.csv file to failover two standard zones with ip address 1.2.3.4 when an actiuve failover zone with that ip fails:
test.com, node.test.com, 1.2.3.4, 2.3.4.5
zonetest.com, zonetest.com, 1.2.3.4, 5.6.7.8
