Escalation, and Master/Slave servers in Hyperic

[PaulPeterson]

These two features have been brought up serveral times to me. Escalation, email admin on call first, if no up alert occurs email admin2 and admin3, or if I can for example between 8am-6pm email Bob, and 6pm-8am email Jim an alert.

Secondly is a master/slave server system. I have one big machine which holds the main database, and several slaves which write to the master (similiar to how DNS operates). Does Hyperic currently support a master/slave setup?, as the question was raised in a meeting concerning hyperic.

Alert escalation is scheduled for HQ 3.0 and is in this bug:

http://jira.hyperic.com/browse/HQ-295

HQ Enterprise Subscription can run in a clustered server environment.
This configuration has a cluster master and data processing nodes which
accept data from HQ Agents.

Can you point me in the direction of some documentation on the
clustering in the 2.6.29 release? I can't seem to locate anything.
