Infoblox High Availability Test

High Availability (HA) in Infoblox typically refers to a setup where two appliances (or virtual instances) are paired to act as an active-passive cluster, with failover capabilities and state synchronization.

By continuously monitoring the target appliance, this test reveals if the Infoblox appliance is in high availability pair and reports if the switchover had happened recently.

Target of the test : An Infoblox appliance

Agent deploying the test : An external agent

Outputs of the test : One set of results for the Infoblox appliance that is to be monitored.
