Alerts
------
*Alerts* may be configured to take some external action when a cluster event
occurs (node failure, resource starting or stopping, etc.).
.. index::
pair: alert; agent
Alert Agents
############
As with resource agents, the cluster calls an external program (an
*alert agent*) to handle alerts. The cluster passes information about the event
to the agent via environment variables. Agents can do anything desired with
this information (send an e-mail, log to a file, update a monitoring system,
etc.).
.. topic:: Simple alert configuration
.. code-block:: xml
<configuration>
<alerts>
<alert id="my-alert" path="/path/to/my-script.sh" />
</alerts>
</configuration>
In the example above, the cluster will call ``my-script.sh`` for each event.
Multiple alert agents may be configured; the cluster will call all of them for
each event.
Alert agents will be called only on cluster nodes. They will be called for
events involving Pacemaker Remote nodes, but they will never be called *on*
those nodes.
For more information about sample alert agents provided by Pacemaker and about
developing custom alert agents, see the *Pacemaker Administration* document.
.. index::
single: alert; recipient
pair: XML element; recipient
Alert Recipients
################
Usually, alerts are directed towards a recipient. Thus, each alert may be
additionally configured with one or more recipients. The cluster will call the
agent separately for each recipient.
.. topic:: Alert configuration with recipient
.. code-block:: xml
<configuration>
<alerts>
<alert id="my-alert" path="/path/to/my-script.sh">
<recipient id="my-alert-recipient" value="some-address"/>
</alert>
</alerts>
</configuration>
In the above example, the cluster will call ``my-script.sh`` for each event,
passing the recipient ``some-address`` as an environment variable.
The recipient may be anything the alert agent can recognize -- an IP address,
an e-mail address, a file name, whatever the particular agent supports.

Alert Meta-Attributes

As with resources, meta-attributes can be configured for alerts to change
whether and how Pacemaker calls them.

| | | amount of time, it will be terminated. |
+------------------+---------------+-----------------------------------------------------+
Meta-attributes can be configured per alert and/or per recipient.
.. topic:: Alert configuration with meta-attributes
.. code-block:: xml
<configuration>
<alerts>
<alert id="my-alert" path="/path/to/my-script.sh">
<meta_attributes id="my-alert-attributes">

</meta_attributes>
<recipient id="my-alert-recipient1" value="someuser@example.com">
<meta_attributes id="my-alert-recipient1-attributes">
<nvpair id="my-alert-recipient1-timestamp-format"

<nvpair id="my-alert-recipient2-timestamp-format"
name="timestamp-format" value="%c"/>
</meta_attributes>
</recipient>
</alert>
</alerts>
</configuration>
In the above example, the ``my-script.sh`` will get called twice for each
event, with each call using a 15-second timeout. One call will be passed the
recipient ``someuser@example.com`` and a timestamp in the format ``%D %H:%M``,
while the other call will be passed the recipient ``otheruser@example.com`` and
a timestamp in the format ``%c``.

Alert Instance Attributes
#########################
As with resource agents, agent-specific configuration values may be configured
as instance attributes. These will be passed to the agent as additional
environment variables. The number, names and allowed values of these instance
attributes are completely up to the particular agent.
.. topic:: Alert configuration with instance attributes

Alert Filters
#############
By default, an alert agent will be called for node events, fencing events, and
resource events. An agent may choose to ignore certain types of events, but
there is still the overhead of calling it for those events. To eliminate that
overhead, you may select which types of events the agent should receive.
.. topic:: Alert configuration to receive only node events and fencing events
.. code-block:: xml
<configuration>
<alerts>
<alert id="my-alert" path="/path/to/my-script.sh">
<select>
<select_nodes />
<select_fencing />
</select>
<recipient id="my-alert-recipient1"
value="someuser@example.com"/>
</alert>
</alerts>
</configuration>
The possible options within ``<select>`` are ``<select_nodes>``,
``<select_fencing>``, ``<select_resources>``, and ``<select_attributes>``.
With ``<select_attributes>`` (the only event type not enabled by default), the
agent will receive alerts when a node attribute changes. If you wish the agent
to be called only when certain attributes change, you can configure that as well.
.. topic:: Alert configuration to be called when certain node attributes change
.. code-block:: xml
<configuration>
<alerts>
<alert id="my-alert" path="/path/to/my-script.sh">
<select>
<select_attributes>
<attribute id="alert-standby" name="standby" />
<attribute id="alert-shutdown" name="shutdown" />
</select_attributes>
</select>
<recipient id="my-alert-recipient1" value="someuser@example.com"/>
</alert>
</alerts>
</configuration>
Node attribute alerts are currently considered experimental. Alerts may be
limited to attributes set via ``attrd_updater``, and agents may be called
multiple times with the same attribute value.

What is a Cluster Resource?
###########################
.. index::
single: resource
A *resource* is a service managed by Pacemaker. The simplest type of resource,
a *primitive*, is described in this chapter. More complex forms, such as groups
and clones, are described in later chapters.
Every primitive has a *resource agent* that provides Pacemaker a standardized
interface for managing the service. This allows Pacemaker to be agnostic about
the services it manages. Pacemaker doesn't need to understand how the service
works because it relies on the resource agent to do the right thing when asked.
Every resource has a *class* specifying the standard that its resource agent
follows, and a *type* identifying the specific service being managed.
.. _s-resource-supported:
.. index::
single: resource; class
Resource Classes
################
Pacemaker supports several classes, or standards, of resource agents:
* OCF
* LSB
* Systemd
* Upstart (deprecated)
* Service
* Fencing
* Nagios
.. index::
single: resource; OCF
single: OCF; resources
single: Open Cluster Framework; resources
Open Cluster Framework
______________________
The Open Cluster Framework (OCF) Resource Agent API is a ClusterLabs
standard for managing services. It is the most preferred since it is
specifically designed for use in a Pacemaker cluster.
OCF agents are scripts that support a variety of actions including ``start``,
``stop``, and ``monitor``. They may accept parameters, making them more
flexible than other classes. The number and purpose of parameters is left to
the agent, which advertises them via the ``meta-data`` action.
Unlike other classes, OCF agents have a *provider* as well as a class and type.
For more information, see the "Resource Agents" chapter of *Pacemaker
Administration* and the `OCF standard
<https://github.com/ClusterLabs/OCF-spec/tree/main/ra>`_.
.. _s-resource-supported-systemd:
.. index::
single: Resource; Systemd
single: Systemd; resources
Systemd
_______
Most Linux distributions use `Systemd
<http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd>`_ for system initialization
and service management. *Unit files* specify how to manage services and are
usually provided by the distribution.
Pacemaker can manage systemd services. Simply create a resource with
``systemd`` as the resource class and the unit file name as the resource type.
Do *not* run ``systemctl enable`` on the unit.
.. important::
Make sure that any systemd services to be controlled by the cluster are
*not* enabled to start at boot.
.. index::
single: resource; LSB
single: LSB; resources
single: Linux Standard Base; resources
Linux Standard Base
___________________
*LSB* resource agents, also known as `SysV-style
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Init#SysV-style init scripts>`_, are scripts that
provide start, stop, and status actions for a service.
They are provided by some operating system distributions. If a full path is not
given, they are assumed to be located in a directory specified when your
Pacemaker software was built (usually ``/etc/init.d``).
In order to be used with Pacemaker, they must conform to the `LSB specification
<http://refspecs.linux-foundation.org/LSB_5.0.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/iniscrptact.html>`_
as it relates to init scripts.
.. warning::
Some LSB scripts do not fully comply with the standard. For details on how
to check whether your script is LSB-compatible, see the "Resource Agents"
chapter of `Pacemaker Administration`. Common problems include:
* Not implementing the ``status`` action
* Not observing the correct exit status codes
* Starting a started resource returns an error
* Stopping a stopped resource returns an error
.. important::
Make sure the host is *not* configured to start any LSB services at boot
that will be controlled by the cluster.
.. index::
single: Resource; Upstart
single: Upstart; resources
Upstart
_______
Some Linux distributions previously used `Upstart
<https://upstart.ubuntu.com/>`_ for system initialization and service
management. Pacemaker is able to manage services using Upstart if the local
system supports them and support was enabled when your Pacemaker software was
built.
The *jobs* that specify how services are managed are usually provided by the
operating system distribution.
.. important::
Make sure the host is *not* configured to start any Upstart services at boot
that will be controlled by the cluster.
.. warning::
Upstart support is deprecated in Pacemaker. Upstart is no longer actively
maintained, and test platforms for it are no longer readily usable. Support
will be dropped entirely at the next major release of Pacemaker.
.. index::
single: Resource; System Services
single: System Service; resources
System Services
_______________
Since there are various types of system services (``systemd``,
``upstart``, and ``lsb``), Pacemaker supports a special ``service`` alias which
intelligently figures out which one applies to a given cluster node.
This is particularly useful when the cluster contains a mix of
``systemd``, ``upstart``, and ``lsb``.
In order, Pacemaker will try to find the named service as:
* an LSB init script
* a Systemd unit file
* an Upstart job
.. index::
single: Resource; STONITH
single: STONITH; resources
STONITH
_______
The ``stonith`` class is used for managing fencing devices, discussed later in
:ref:`fencing`.
.. index::
single: Resource; Nagios Plugins
single: Nagios Plugins; resources
Nagios Plugins
______________
Nagios Plugins [#]_ are a way to monitor services. Pacemaker can use these as
resources, to react to a change in the service's status.
To use plugins as resources, Pacemaker must have been built with support, and
OCF-style meta-data for the plugins must be installed on nodes that can run
them. Meta-data for several common plugins is provided by the
`nagios-agents-metadata <https://github.com/ClusterLabs/nagios-agents-metadata>`_
project.
The supported parameters for such a resource are same as the long options of
the plugin.
Start and monitor actions for plugin resources are implemented as invoking the
plugin. A plugin result of "OK" (0) is treated as success, a result of "WARN"
(1) is treated as a successful but degraded service, and any other result is
considered a failure.
A plugin resource is not going to change its status after recovery by
restarting the plugin, so using them alone does not make sense with ``on-fail``
set (or left to default) to ``restart``. Another value could make sense, for
example, if you want to fence or standby nodes that cannot reach some external
service.
A more common use case for plugin resources is to configure them with a
``container`` meta-attribute set to the name of another resource that actually
makes the service available, such as a virtual machine or container.
With ``container`` set, the plugin resource will automatically be colocated
with the containing resource and ordered after it, and the containing resource
will be considered failed if the plugin resource fails. This allows monitoring
of a service inside a virtual machine or container, with recovery of the
virtual machine or container if the service fails.
Configuring a virtual machine as a guest node, or a container as a
:ref:`bundle <s-resource-bundle>`, is the preferred way of monitoring a service
inside, but plugin resources can be useful when it is not practical to modify
the virtual machine or container image for this purpose.

<primitive id="Email" class="service" type="exim"/>
.. note::
One of the main drawbacks to system services (LSB, systemd or
Upstart) resources is that they do not allow any parameters!

In addition to the cluster-defined meta-attributes described above, you may
also configure arbitrary meta-attributes of your own choosing. Most commonly,
this would be done for use in :ref:`rules <rules>`. For example, an IT department
might define a custom meta-attribute to indicate which company department each
resource is intended for. To reduce the chance of name collisions with
cluster-defined meta-attributes added in the future, it is recommended to use
a unique, organization-specific prefix for such attributes.
.. _s-resource-defaults:
Setting Global Defaults for Resource Meta-Attributes
____________________________________________________
To set a default value for a resource option, add it to the
``rsc_defaults`` section with ``crm_attribute``. For example,
.. code-block:: none
# crm_attribute --type rsc_defaults --name is-managed --update false
would prevent the cluster from starting or stopping any of the
resources in the configuration (unless of course the individual
resources were specifically enabled by having their ``is-managed`` set to
``true``).
Resource Instance Attributes
____________________________
The resource agents of some resource classes (lsb, systemd and upstart *not* among them)
can be given parameters which determine how they behave and which instance
of a service they control.
If your resource agent supports parameters, you can add them with the
``crm_resource`` command. For example,
.. code-block:: none
# crm_resource --resource Public-IP --set-parameter ip --parameter-value 192.0.2.2
would create an entry in the resource like this:
.. topic:: An example OCF resource with instance attributes
.. code-block:: xml
<primitive id="Public-IP" class="ocf" type="IPaddr" provider="heartbeat">
<instance_attributes id="params-public-ip">
<nvpair id="public-ip-addr" name="ip" value="192.0.2.2"/>
</instance_attributes>
</primitive>
For an OCF resource, the result would be an environment variable
called ``OCF_RESKEY_ip`` with a value of ``192.0.2.2``.
The list of instance attributes supported by an OCF resource agent can be
found by calling the resource agent with the ``meta-data`` command.
The output contains an XML description of all the supported
attributes, their purpose and default values.

Resource Operations
###################
*Operations* are actions the cluster can perform on a resource by calling the
resource agent. Resource agents must support certain common operations such as
start, stop, and monitor, and may implement any others.
Operations may be explicitly configured for two purposes: to override defaults
for options (such as timeout) that the cluster will use whenever it initiates
the operation, and to run an operation on a recurring basis (for example, to
monitor the resource for failure).
.. topic:: An OCF resource with a non-default start timeout
.. code-block:: xml
<primitive id="Public-IP" class="ocf" type="IPaddr" provider="heartbeat">
<operations>
<op id="Public-IP-start" name="start" timeout="60s"/>
</operations>
<instance_attributes id="params-public-ip">
<nvpair id="public-ip-addr" name="ip" value="192.0.2.2"/>
</instance_attributes>
</primitive>
Pacemaker identifies operations by a combination of name and interval, so this
combination must be unique for each resource. That is, you should not configure
two operations for the same resource with the same name and interval.
.. _operation_properties:
Operation Properties

Operation properties may be specified directly in the ``op`` element as
XML attributes, or in a separate ``meta_attributes`` block as ``nvpair`` elements.
XML attributes take precedence over ``nvpair`` elements if both are specified.

+----------------+-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------+
.. note::
When ``on-fail`` is set to ``demote``, recovery from failure by a successful
demote causes the cluster to recalculate whether and where a new instance
should be promoted. The node with the failure is eligible, so if promotion
scores have not changed, it will be promoted again.
There is no direct equivalent of ``migration-threshold`` for the promoted
role, but the same effect can be achieved with a location constraint using a
:ref:`rule <rules>` with a node attribute expression for the resource's fail
count.
For example, to immediately ban the promoted role from a node with any
failed promote or promoted instance monitor:
.. code-block:: xml
<rsc_location id="loc1" rsc="my_primitive">
<rule id="rule1" score="-INFINITY" role="Promoted" boolean-op="or">
<expression id="expr1" attribute="fail-count-my_primitive#promote_0"
operation="gte" value="1"/>
<expression id="expr2" attribute="fail-count-my_primitive#monitor_10000"
operation="gte" value="1"/>
</rule>
</rsc_location>
This example assumes that there is a promotable clone of the ``my_primitive``
resource (note that the primitive name, not the clone name, is used in the
rule), and that there is a recurring 10-second-interval monitor configured for
the promoted role (fail count attributes specify the interval in
milliseconds).
.. _s-resource-monitoring:
Monitoring Resources for Failure
________________________________
When Pacemaker first starts a resource, it runs one-time ``monitor`` operations
(referred to as *probes*) to ensure the resource is running where it's
supposed to be, and not running where it's not supposed to be. (This behavior
can be affected by the ``resource-discovery`` location constraint property.)
Other than those initial probes, Pacemaker will *not* (by default) check that
the resource continues to stay healthy [#]_. You must configure ``monitor``
operations explicitly to perform these checks.
.. topic:: An OCF resource with a recurring health check
.. code-block:: xml
<primitive id="Public-IP" class="ocf" type="IPaddr" provider="heartbeat">
<operations>
<op id="Public-IP-start" name="start" timeout="60s"/>
<op id="Public-IP-monitor" name="monitor" interval="60s"/>
</operations>
<instance_attributes id="params-public-ip">
<nvpair id="public-ip-addr" name="ip" value="192.0.2.2"/>
</instance_attributes>
</primitive>
By default, a ``monitor`` operation will ensure that the resource is running
where it is supposed to. The ``target-role`` property can be used for further
checking.
For example, if a resource has one ``monitor`` operation with
``interval=10 role=Started`` and a second ``monitor`` operation with
``interval=11 role=Stopped``, the cluster will run the first monitor on any nodes
it thinks *should* be running the resource, and the second monitor on any nodes
that it thinks *should not* be running the resource (for the truly paranoid,
who want to know when an administrator manually starts a service by mistake).
.. note::
Currently, monitors with ``role=Stopped`` are not implemented for
:ref:`clone <s-resource-clone>` resources.
.. _s-monitoring-unmanaged:
Monitoring Resources When Administration is Disabled
____________________________________________________
Recurring ``monitor`` operations behave differently under various administrative
settings:
* When a resource is unmanaged (by setting ``is-managed=false``): No monitors
will be stopped.
If the unmanaged resource is stopped on a node where the cluster thinks it
should be running, the cluster will detect and report that it is not, but it
will not consider the monitor failed, and will not try to start the resource
until it is managed again.
Starting the unmanaged resource on a different node is strongly discouraged
and will at least cause the cluster to consider the resource failed, and
may require the resource's ``target-role`` to be set to ``Stopped`` then
``Started`` to be recovered.
* When a resource is put into maintenance mode (by setting
``maintenance=true``): The resource will be marked as unmanaged. (This
overrides ``is-managed=true``.)
Additionally, all monitor operations will be stopped, except those specifying
``role`` as ``Stopped`` (which will be newly initiated if appropriate). As
with unmanaged resources in general, starting a resource on a node other than
where the cluster expects it to be will cause problems.
* When a node is put into standby: All resources will be moved away from the
node, and all ``monitor`` operations will be stopped on the node, except those
specifying ``role`` as ``Stopped`` (which will be newly initiated if
appropriate).
* When a node is put into maintenance mode: All resources that are active on the
node will be marked as in maintenance mode. See above for more details.
* When the cluster is put into maintenance mode: All resources in the cluster
will be marked as in maintenance mode. See above for more details.
A resource is in maintenance mode if the cluster, the node where the resource
is active, or the resource itself is configured to be in maintenance mode. If a
resource is in maintenance mode, then it is also unmanaged. However, if a
resource is unmanaged, it is not necessarily in maintenance mode.
.. _s-operation-defaults:
Setting Global Defaults for Operations
______________________________________
You can change the global default values for operation properties
in a given cluster. These are defined in an ``op_defaults`` section
of the CIB's ``configuration`` section, and can be set with
``crm_attribute``. For example,
.. code-block:: none
# crm_attribute --type op_defaults --name timeout --update 20s
would default each operation's ``timeout`` to 20 seconds. If an
operation's definition also includes a value for ``timeout``, then that
value would be used for that operation instead.
When Implicit Operations Take a Long Time
_________________________________________
The cluster will always perform a number of implicit operations: ``start``,
``stop`` and a non-recurring ``monitor`` operation used at startup to check
whether the resource is already active. If one of these is taking too long,
then you can create an entry for them and specify a longer timeout.
.. topic:: An OCF resource with custom timeouts for its implicit actions
.. code-block:: xml
<primitive id="Public-IP" class="ocf" type="IPaddr" provider="heartbeat">
<operations>
<op id="public-ip-startup" name="monitor" interval="0" timeout="90s"/>
<op id="public-ip-start" name="start" interval="0" timeout="180s"/>
<op id="public-ip-stop" name="stop" interval="0" timeout="15min"/>
</operations>
<instance_attributes id="params-public-ip">
<nvpair id="public-ip-addr" name="ip" value="192.0.2.2"/>
</instance_attributes>
</primitive>
Multiple Monitor Operations
___________________________
Provided no two operations (for a single resource) have the same name
and interval, you can have as many ``monitor`` operations as you like.
In this way, you can do a superficial health check every minute and
progressively more intense ones at higher intervals.
To tell the resource agent what kind of check to perform, you need to
provide each monitor with a different value for a common parameter.
The OCF standard creates a special parameter called ``OCF_CHECK_LEVEL``
for this purpose and dictates that it is "made available to the
resource agent without the normal ``OCF_RESKEY`` prefix".
Whatever name you choose, you can specify it by adding an
``instance_attributes`` block to the ``op`` tag. It is up to each
resource agent to look for the parameter and decide how to use it.
.. topic:: An OCF resource with two recurring health checks, performing
different levels of checks specified via ``OCF_CHECK_LEVEL``.
.. code-block:: xml
<primitive id="Public-IP" class="ocf" type="IPaddr" provider="heartbeat">
<operations>
<op id="public-ip-health-60" name="monitor" interval="60">
<instance_attributes id="params-public-ip-depth-60">
<nvpair id="public-ip-depth-60" name="OCF_CHECK_LEVEL" value="10"/>
</instance_attributes>
</op>
<op id="public-ip-health-300" name="monitor" interval="300">
<instance_attributes id="params-public-ip-depth-300">
<nvpair id="public-ip-depth-300" name="OCF_CHECK_LEVEL" value="20"/>
</instance_attributes>
</op>
</operations>
<instance_attributes id="params-public-ip">
<nvpair id="public-ip-level" name="ip" value="192.0.2.2"/>
</instance_attributes>
</primitive>
Disabling a Monitor Operation
_____________________________
The easiest way to stop a recurring monitor is to just delete it.
However, there can be times when you only want to disable it
temporarily. In such cases, simply add ``enabled=false`` to the
operation's definition.
.. topic:: Example of an OCF resource with a disabled health check
.. code-block:: xml
<primitive id="Public-IP" class="ocf" type="IPaddr" provider="heartbeat">
<operations>
<op id="public-ip-check" name="monitor" interval="60s" enabled="false"/>
</operations>
<instance_attributes id="params-public-ip">
<nvpair id="public-ip-addr" name="ip" value="192.0.2.2"/>
</instance_attributes>
</primitive>
This can be achieved from the command line by executing:
.. code-block:: none
# cibadmin --modify --xml-text '<op id="public-ip-check" enabled="false"/>'
Once you've done whatever you needed to do, you can then re-enable it with
.. code-block:: none
# cibadmin --modify --xml-text '<op id="public-ip-check" enabled="true"/>'
.. [#] The project has two independent forks, hosted at
https://www.nagios-plugins.org/ and https://www.monitoring-plugins.org/. Output
from both projects' plugins is similar, so plugins from either project can be
used with pacemaker.
.. [#] Currently, anyway. Automatic monitoring operations may be added in a future
version of Pacemaker.
