(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 + + + + + + + + + + + +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 ` 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 + + + + + + + + + + + + +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 + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +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.

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 * Service * Fencing * Nagios *(deprecated since 2.1.6)* * Upstart *(deprecated since 2.1.0)* .. 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 `_. .. _s-resource-supported-systemd: .. index:: single: Resource; Systemd single: Systemd; resources Systemd _______ Most Linux distributions use `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 `_, 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 `_ 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; 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 `_ 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. .. warning:: Nagios support is deprecated in Pacemaker. Support will be dropped entirely at the next major release of Pacemaker. For monitoring a service inside a virtual machine or container, the recommended alternative is to configure the virtual machine as a guest node or the container as a :ref:`bundle `. For other use cases, or when the virtual machine or container image cannot be modified, the recommended alternative is to write a custom OCF agent for the service (which may even call the Nagios plugin as part of its status action). .. index:: single: Resource; Upstart single: Upstart; resources Upstart _______ Some Linux distributions previously used `Upstart `_ 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. .. _primitive-resource: Resource Properties ################### These values tell the cluster which resource agent to use for the resource, where to find that resource agent and what standards it conforms to. .. table:: **Properties of a Primitive Resource** :widths: 1 4 +-------------+------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Field | Description | +=============+==================================================================+ | id | .. index:: | | | single: id; resource | | | single: resource; property, id | | | | | | Your name for the resource | +-------------+------------------------------------------------------------------+ | class | .. index:: | | | single: class; resource | | | single: resource; property, class | | | | | | The standard the resource agent conforms to.

Most commonly, this would be done for use in :ref:`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 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. .. topic:: Displaying the metadata for the Dummy resource agent template .. code-block:: none # export OCF_ROOT=/usr/lib/ocf # $OCF_ROOT/resource.d/pacemaker/Dummy meta-data .. code-block:: xml 1.1 This is a dummy OCF resource agent.

(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 [#]_.

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 ` 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 - - - - - - - - - - - - -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.
