Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes, on a monitoring system, maintaining hot-cluster data. The hot-cluster data includes identification of at least one hot cluster. The at least one hot cluster includes at least one hot-cluster remote node and is served by two or more hot-cluster networking devices. The method further includes selecting a monitoring request and transmitting the monitoring request to the two or more hot-cluster networking devices as a passive request. Via the passive request, the two or more hot-cluster networking devices are instructed to: not forward the monitoring request to the at least one hot-cluster remote node until a control request is received from a communicably separate control system; and upon receipt of the control request, transmit the monitoring request and the control request to the at least one hot-cluster remote node together as a piggy-back request.
