When all configurations are created, the Arbiter sends them to the N active Schedulers. A Scheduler can start processing checks once it has received and loaded it's configuration without having to wait for all schedulers to be ready(v1.2). For larger configurations, having more than one Scheduler, even on a single server is highly recommended, as they will load their configurations (new or updated) faster. The Arbiter also creates configurations for satellites (pollers, reactionners and brokers) with links to Schedulers so they know where to get jobs to do. After sending the configurations, the Arbiter begins to watch for orders from the users and is responsible for monitoring the availability of the satellites.
