The present invention entails a highly available system comprising at least one host with at least one monitoring agent fit to send data, a cloud based proxy fit to receive the data, wherein said proxy comprises: an adapter, a master monitoring agent fit to command the at least one monitoring agent, and a failover server. The highly available system is further made up of at least one secondary cloud based proxy capable of communicating with the cloud based proxy, wherein the secondary cloud based proxy also comprises: a second adapter, a second master monitoring agent fit to command at least one monitoring agent, and a second failover server fit to communicate with the failover server. Finally, the highly available system also includes a node, wherein the node communicates with at least the cloud based proxy and the secondary cloud based proxy.
