The simplest CIB, an empty one, looks like this: .. topic:: An empty configuration .. code-block:: xml The empty configuration above contains the major sections that make up a CIB: * ``cib``: The entire CIB is enclosed with a ``cib`` element. Certain fundamental settings are defined as attributes of this element. * ``configuration``: This section -- the primary focus of this document -- contains traditional configuration information such as what resources the cluster serves and the relationships among them. * ``crm_config``: cluster-wide configuration options * ``nodes``: the machines that host the cluster * ``resources``: the services run by the cluster * ``constraints``: indications of how resources should be placed * ``status``: This section contains the history of each resource on each node. Based on this data, the cluster can construct the complete current state of the cluster. The authoritative source for this section is the local executor (pacemaker-execd process) on each cluster node, and the cluster will occasionally repopulate the entire section. For this reason, it is never written to disk, and administrators are advised against modifying it in any way. In this document, configuration settings will be described as properties or options based on how they are defined in the CIB: * Properties are XML attributes of an XML element. * Options are name-value pairs expressed as ``nvpair`` child elements of an XML element. Normally, you will use command-line tools that abstract the XML, so the distinction will be unimportant; both properties and options are cluster settings you can tweak. -Configuration Value Types -######################### - -Throughout this document, configuration values will be designated as having one -of the following types: - -.. list-table:: **Configuration Value Types** - :class: longtable - :widths: 1 3 - :header-rows: 1 - - * - Type - - Description - * - .. _boolean: - - .. index:: - pair: type; boolean - - boolean - - Case-insensitive text value where ``1``, ``yes``, ``y``, ``on``, - and ``true`` evaluate as true and ``0``, ``no``, ``n``, ``off``, - ``false``, and unset evaluate as false - * - .. _date_time: - - .. index:: - pair: type; date/time - - date/time - - Textual timestamp like ``Sat Dec 21 11:47:45 2013`` - * - .. _duration: - - .. index:: - pair: type; duration - - duration - - A time duration, specified either like a :ref:`timeout ` or an - `ISO 8601 duration `_. - A duration may be up to approximately 49 days but is intended for much - smaller time periods. - * - .. _enumeration: - - .. index:: - pair: type; enumeration - - enumeration - - Text that must be one of a set of defined values (which will be listed - in the description) - * - .. _integer: - - .. index:: - pair: type; integer - - integer - - 32-bit signed integer value (-2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647) - * - .. _nonnegative_integer: - - .. index:: - pair: type; nonnegative integer - - nonnegative integer - - 32-bit nonnegative integer value (0 to 2,147,483,647) - * - .. _port: - - .. index:: - pair: type; port - - port - - Integer TCP port number (0 to 65535) - * - .. _score: - - .. index:: - pair: type; score - - score - - A Pacemaker score can be an integer between -1,000,000 and 1,000,000, or - a string alias: ``INFINITY`` or ``+INFINITY`` is equivalent to - 1,000,000, ``-INFINITY`` is equivalent to -1,000,000, and ``red``, - ``yellow``, and ``green`` are equivalent to integers as described in - :ref:`node-health`. - * - .. _text: - - .. index:: - pair: type; text - - text - - A text string - * - .. _timeout: - - .. index:: - pair: type; timeout - - timeout - - A time duration, specified as a bare number (in which case it is - considered to be in seconds) or a number with a unit (``ms`` or ``msec`` - for milliseconds, ``us`` or ``usec`` for microseconds, ``s`` or ``sec`` - for seconds, ``m`` or ``min`` for minutes, ``h`` or ``hr`` for hours) - optionally with whitespace before and/or after the number. - * - .. _version: - - .. index:: - pair: type; version - - version - - Version number (any combination of alphanumeric characters, dots, and - dashes, starting with a number). - - -Scores -______ - -Scores are integral to how Pacemaker works.

You may be able to set the score to some computed value based on - the external metric rather than use the metric directly. For nodes, you can - store the metric as a node attribute, and query the attribute when computing - the score (possibly as part of a custom resource agent). - CIB Properties ############## Certain settings are defined by CIB properties (that is, attributes of the ``cib`` tag) rather than with the rest of the cluster configuration in the ``configuration`` section. The reason is simply a matter of parsing. These options are used by the configuration database which is, by design, mostly ignorant of the content it holds. So the decision was made to place them in an easy-to-find location. .. list-table:: **CIB Properties** :class: longtable :widths: 2 2 2 5 :header-rows: 1 * - Name - Type - Default - Description * - .. _admin_epoch: .. index:: pair: admin_epoch; cib admin_epoch - :ref:`nonnegative integer ` - 0 - When a node joins the cluster, the cluster asks the node with the highest (``admin_epoch``, ``epoch``, ``num_updates``) tuple to replace the configuration on all the nodes -- which makes setting them correctly very important. ``admin_epoch`` is never modified by the cluster; you can use this to make the configurations on any inactive nodes obsolete. * - .. _epoch: .. index:: pair: epoch; cib epoch - :ref:`nonnegative integer ` - 0 - The cluster increments this every time the CIB's configuration section is updated. * - .. _num_updates: .. index:: pair: num_updates; cib num_updates - :ref:`nonnegative integer ` - 0 - The cluster increments this every time the CIB's configuration or status sections are updated, and resets it to 0 when epoch changes. * - .. _validate_with: .. index:: pair: validate-with; cib validate-with - :ref:`enumeration ` - - Determines the type of XML validation that will be done on the configuration. Allowed values are ``none`` (in which case the cluster will not require that updates conform to expected syntax) and the base names of schema files installed on the local machine (for example, "pacemaker-3.9") * - .. _remote_tls_port: .. index:: pair: remote-tls-port; cib remote-tls-port - :ref:`port ` - - If set, the CIB manager will listen for anonymously encrypted remote connections on this port, to allow CIB administration from hosts not in the cluster. No key is used, so this should be used only on a protected network where man-in-the-middle attacks can be avoided. * - .. _remote_clear_port: .. index:: pair: remote-clear-port; cib remote-clear-port - :ref:`port ` - - If set to a TCP port number, the CIB manager will listen for remote connections on this port, to allow for CIB administration from hosts not in the cluster. No encryption is used, so this should be used only on a protected network. * - .. _cib_last_written: .. index:: pair: cib-last-written; cib cib-last-written - :ref:`date/time ` - - Indicates when the configuration was last written to disk. Maintained by the cluster; for informational purposes only. * - .. _have_quorum: .. index:: pair: have-quorum; cib have-quorum - :ref:`boolean ` - - Indicates whether the cluster has quorum. If false, the cluster's response is determined by ``no-quorum-policy`` (see below). Maintained by the cluster. * - .. _dc_uuid: .. index:: pair: dc-uuid; cib dc-uuid - :ref:`text ` - - Node ID of the cluster's current designated controller (DC). Used and maintained by the cluster. .. _cluster_options: Cluster Options ############### Cluster options, as you might expect, control how the cluster behaves when confronted with various situations. They are grouped into sets within the ``crm_config`` section. In advanced configurations, there may be more than one set. (This will be described later in the chapter on :ref:`rules` where we will show how to have the cluster use different sets of options during working hours than during weekends.) For now, we will describe the simple case where each option is present at most once. You can obtain an up-to-date list of cluster options, including their default values, by running the ``man pacemaker-schedulerd`` and ``man pacemaker-controld`` commands. .. list-table:: **Cluster Options** :class: longtable :widths: 2 2 2 5 :header-rows: 1 * - Name - Type - Default - Description * - .. _cluster_name: .. index:: pair: cluster option; cluster-name cluster-name - :ref:`text ` - - An (optional) name for the cluster as a whole. This is mostly for users' convenience for use as desired in administration, but can be used in the Pacemaker configuration in :ref:`rules` (as the ``#cluster-name`` :ref:`node attribute `). It may also be used by higher-level tools when displaying cluster information, and by certain resource agents (for example, the ``ocf:heartbeat:GFS2`` agent stores the cluster name in filesystem meta-data). * - .. _dc_version: .. index:: pair: cluster option; dc-version dc-version - :ref:`version ` - *detected* - Version of Pacemaker on the cluster's designated controller (DC). Maintained by the cluster, and intended for diagnostic purposes. * - .. _cluster_infrastructure: .. index:: pair: cluster option; cluster-infrastructure cluster-infrastructure - :ref:`text ` - *detected* - The messaging layer with which Pacemaker is currently running. Maintained by the cluster, and intended for informational and diagnostic purposes. * - .. _no_quorum_policy: .. index:: pair: cluster option; no-quorum-policy no-quorum-policy - :ref:`enumeration ` - stop - What to do when the cluster does not have quorum. Allowed values: * ``ignore:`` continue all resource management * ``freeze:`` continue resource management, but don't recover resources from nodes not in the affected partition * ``stop:`` stop all resources in the affected cluster partition * ``demote:`` demote promotable resources and stop all other resources in the affected cluster partition *(since 2.0.5)* * ``suicide:`` fence all nodes in the affected cluster partition * - .. _batch_limit: .. index:: pair: cluster option; batch-limit batch-limit - :ref:`integer ` - 0 - The maximum number of actions that the cluster may execute in parallel across all nodes. The ideal value will depend on the speed and load of your network and cluster nodes. If zero, the cluster will impose a dynamically calculated limit only when any node has high load. If -1, the cluster will not impose any limit. * - .. _migration_limit: .. index:: pair: cluster option; migration-limit migration-limit - :ref:`integer ` - -1 - The number of :ref:`live migration ` actions that the cluster is allowed to execute in parallel on a node. A value of -1 means unlimited. * - .. _symmetric_cluster: .. index:: pair: cluster option; symmetric-cluster symmetric-cluster - :ref:`boolean ` - true - If true, resources can run on any node by default. If false, a resource is allowed to run on a node only if a :ref:`location constraint ` enables it. * - .. _stop_all_resources: .. index:: pair: cluster option; stop-all-resources stop-all-resources - :ref:`boolean ` - false - Whether all resources should be disallowed from running (can be useful during maintenance or troubleshooting) * - .. _stop_orphan_resources: .. index:: pair: cluster option; stop-orphan-resources stop-orphan-resources - :ref:`boolean ` - true - Whether resources that have been deleted from the configuration should be stopped. This value takes precedence over :ref:`is-managed ` (that is, even unmanaged resources will be stopped when orphaned if this value is ``true``). * - .. _stop_orphan_actions: .. index:: pair: cluster option; stop-orphan-actions stop-orphan-actions - :ref:`boolean ` - true - Whether recurring :ref:`operations ` that have been deleted from the configuration should be cancelled * - .. _start_failure_is_fatal: .. index:: pair: cluster option; start-failure-is-fatal start-failure-is-fatal - :ref:`boolean ` - true - Whether a failure to start a resource on a particular node prevents further start attempts on that node. If ``false``, the cluster will decide whether the node is still eligible based on the resource's current failure count and ``migration-threshold``. * - .. _enable_startup_probes: .. index:: pair: cluster option; enable-startup-probes enable-startup-probes - :ref:`boolean ` - true - Whether the cluster should check the pre-existing state of resources when the cluster starts * - .. _maintenance_mode: .. index:: pair: cluster option; maintenance-mode maintenance-mode - :ref:`boolean ` - false - If true, the cluster will not start or stop any resource in the cluster, and any recurring operations (expect those specifying ``role`` as ``Stopped``) will be paused. If true, this overrides the :ref:`maintenance ` node attribute, :ref:`is-managed ` and :ref:`maintenance ` resource meta-attributes, and :ref:`enabled ` operation meta-attribute. * - .. _stonith_enabled: .. index:: pair: cluster option; stonith-enabled stonith-enabled - :ref:`boolean ` - true - Whether the cluster is allowed to fence nodes (for example, failed nodes and nodes with resources that can't be stopped). If true, at least one fence device must be configured before resources are allowed to run. If false, unresponsive nodes are immediately assumed to be running no resources, and resource recovery on online nodes starts without any further protection (which can mean *data loss* if the unresponsive node still accesses shared storage, for example). See also the :ref:`requires ` resource meta-attribute. * - .. _stonith_action: .. index:: pair: cluster option; stonith-action stonith-action - :ref:`enumeration ` - reboot - Action the cluster should send to the fence agent when a node must be fenced. Allowed values are ``reboot``, ``off``, and (for legacy agents only) ``poweroff``. * - .. _stonith_timeout: .. index:: pair: cluster option; stonith-timeout stonith-timeout - :ref:`duration ` - 60s - How long to wait for ``on``, ``off``, and ``reboot`` fence actions to complete by default. * - .. _stonith_max_attempts: .. index:: pair: cluster option; stonith-max-attempts stonith-max-attempts - :ref:`score ` - 10 - How many times fencing can fail for a target before the cluster will no longer immediately re-attempt it. Any value below 1 will be ignored, and the default will be used instead. * - .. _stonith_watchdog_timeout: .. index:: pair: cluster option; stonith-watchdog-timeout stonith-watchdog-timeout - :ref:`timeout ` - 0 - If nonzero, and the cluster detects ``have-watchdog`` as ``true``, then watchdog-based self-fencing will be performed via SBD when fencing is required, without requiring a fencing resource explicitly configured. If this is set to a positive value, unseen nodes are assumed to self-fence within this much time. **Warning:** It must be ensured that this value is larger than the ``SBD_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT`` environment variable on all nodes. Pacemaker verifies the settings individually on all nodes and prevents startup or shuts down if configured wrongly on the fly. It is strongly recommended that ``SBD_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT`` be set to the same value on all nodes. If this is set to a negative value, and ``SBD_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT`` is set, twice that value will be used. **Warning:** In this case, it is essential (and currently not verified by pacemaker) that ``SBD_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT`` is set to the same value on all nodes. * - .. _concurrent-fencing: .. index:: pair: cluster option; concurrent-fencing concurrent-fencing - :ref:`boolean ` - false - Whether the cluster is allowed to initiate multiple fence actions concurrently. Fence actions initiated externally, such as via the ``stonith_admin`` tool or an application such as DLM, or by the fencer itself such as recurring device monitors and ``status`` and ``list`` commands, are not limited by this option. * - .. _fence_reaction: .. index:: pair: cluster option; fence-reaction fence-reaction - :ref:`enumeration ` - stop - How should a cluster node react if notified of its own fencing? A cluster node may receive notification of its own fencing if fencing is misconfigured, or if fabric fencing is in use that doesn't cut cluster communication. Allowed values are ``stop`` to attempt to immediately stop Pacemaker and stay stopped, or ``panic`` to attempt to immediately reboot the local node, falling back to stop on failure. The default is likely to be changed to ``panic`` in a future release. *(since 2.0.3)* * - .. _priority_fencing_delay: .. index:: pair: cluster option; priority-fencing-delay priority-fencing-delay - :ref:`duration ` - 0 - Apply this delay to any fencing targeting the lost nodes with the highest total resource priority in case we don't have the majority of the nodes in our cluster partition, so that the more significant nodes potentially win any fencing match (especially meaningful in a split-brain of a 2-node cluster). A promoted resource instance takes the resource's priority plus 1 if the resource's priority is not 0. Any static or random delays introduced by ``pcmk_delay_base`` and ``pcmk_delay_max`` configured for the corresponding fencing resources will be added to this delay. This delay should be significantly greater than (safely twice) the maximum delay from those parameters. *(since 2.0.4)* * - .. _node_pending_timeout: .. index:: pair: cluster option; node-pending-timeout node-pending-timeout - :ref:`duration ` - 0 - Fence nodes that do not join the controller process group within this much time after joining the cluster, to allow the cluster to continue managing resources. A value of 0 means never fence pending nodes. Setting the value to 2h means fence nodes after 2 hours. *(since 2.1.7)* * - .. _cluster_delay: .. index:: pair: cluster option; cluster-delay cluster-delay - :ref:`duration ` - 60s - If the DC requires an action to be executed on another node, it will consider the action failed if it does not get a response from the other node within this time (beyond the action's own timeout). The ideal value will depend on the speed and load of your network and cluster nodes. * - .. _dc_deadtime: .. index:: pair: cluster option; dc-deadtime dc-deadtime - :ref:`duration ` - 20s - How long to wait for a response from other nodes when electing a DC. The ideal value will depend on the speed and load of your network and cluster nodes. * - .. _cluster_ipc_limit: .. index:: pair: cluster option; cluster-ipc-limit cluster-ipc-limit - :ref:`nonnegative integer ` - 500 - The maximum IPC message backlog before one cluster daemon will disconnect another. This is of use in large clusters, for which a good value is the number of resources in the cluster multiplied by the number of nodes. The default of 500 is also the minimum. Raise this if you see "Evicting client" log messages for cluster daemon process IDs. * - .. _pe_error_series_max: .. index:: pair: cluster option; pe-error-series-max pe-error-series-max - :ref:`integer ` - -1 - The number of scheduler inputs resulting in errors to save. These inputs can be helpful during troubleshooting and when reporting issues. A negative value means save all inputs, and 0 means save none. * - .. _pe_warn_series_max: .. index:: pair: cluster option; pe-warn-series-max pe-warn-series-max - :ref:`integer ` - 5000 - The number of scheduler inputs resulting in warnings to save. These inputs can be helpful during troubleshooting and when reporting issues. A negative value means save all inputs, and 0 means save none. * - .. _pe_input_series_max: .. index:: pair: cluster option; pe-input-series-max pe-input-series-max - :ref:`integer ` - 4000 - The number of "normal" scheduler inputs to save. These inputs can be helpful during troubleshooting and when reporting issues. A negative value means save all inputs, and 0 means save none. * - .. _enable_acl: .. index:: pair: cluster option; enable-acl enable-acl - :ref:`boolean ` - false - Whether :ref:`access control lists ` should be used to authorize CIB modifications * - .. _placement_strategy: .. index:: pair: cluster option; placement-strategy placement-strategy - :ref:`enumeration ` - default - How the cluster should assign resources to nodes (see :ref:`utilization`). Allowed values are ``default``, ``utilization``, ``balanced``, and ``minimal``. * - .. _node_health_strategy: .. index:: pair: cluster option; node-health-strategy node-health-strategy - :ref:`enumeration ` - none - How the cluster should react to :ref:`node health ` attributes. Allowed values are ``none``, ``migrate-on-red``, ``only-green``, ``progressive``, and ``custom``. * - .. _node_health_base: .. index:: pair: cluster option; node-health-base node-health-base - :ref:`score ` - 0 - The base health score assigned to a node. Only used when ``node-health-strategy`` is ``progressive``. * - .. _node_health_green: .. index:: pair: cluster option; node-health-green node-health-green - :ref:`score ` - 0 - The score to use for a node health attribute whose value is ``green``. Only used when ``node-health-strategy`` is ``progressive`` or ``custom``. * - .. _node_health_yellow: .. index:: pair: cluster option; node-health-yellow node-health-yellow - :ref:`score ` - 0 - The score to use for a node health attribute whose value is ``yellow``. Only used when ``node-health-strategy`` is ``progressive`` or ``custom``. * - .. _node_health_red: .. index:: pair: cluster option; node-health-red node-health-red - :ref:`score ` - 0 - The score to use for a node health attribute whose value is ``red``. Only used when ``node-health-strategy`` is ``progressive`` or ``custom``. * - .. _cluster_recheck_interval: .. index:: pair: cluster option; cluster-recheck-interval cluster-recheck-interval - :ref:`duration ` - 15min - Pacemaker is primarily event-driven, and looks ahead to know when to recheck the cluster for failure timeouts and most time-based rules *(since 2.0.3)*. However, it will also recheck the cluster after this amount of inactivity. This has two goals: rules with ``date_spec`` are only guaranteed to be checked this often, and it also serves as a fail-safe for some kinds of scheduler bugs. A value of 0 disables this polling. * - .. _shutdown_lock: .. index:: pair: cluster option; shutdown-lock shutdown-lock - :ref:`boolean ` - false - The default of false allows active resources to be recovered elsewhere when their node is cleanly shut down, which is what the vast majority of users will want. However, some users prefer to make resources highly available only for failures, with no recovery for clean shutdowns. If this option is true, resources active on a node when it is cleanly shut down are kept "locked" to that node (not allowed to run elsewhere) until they start again on that node after it rejoins (or for at most ``shutdown-lock-limit``, if set). Stonith resources and Pacemaker Remote connections are never locked. Clone and bundle instances and the promoted role of promotable clones are currently never locked, though support could be added in a future release. Locks may be manually cleared using the ``--refresh`` option of ``crm_resource`` (both the resource and node must be specified; this works with remote nodes if their connection resource's ``target-role`` is set to ``Stopped``, but not if Pacemaker Remote is stopped on the remote node without disabling the connection resource). *(since 2.0.4)* * - .. _shutdown_lock_limit: .. index:: pair: cluster option; shutdown-lock-limit shutdown-lock-limit - :ref:`duration ` - 0 - If ``shutdown-lock`` is true, and this is set to a nonzero time duration, locked resources will be allowed to start after this much time has passed since the node shutdown was initiated, even if the node has not rejoined. (This works with remote nodes only if their connection resource's ``target-role`` is set to ``Stopped``.) *(since 2.0.4)* * - .. _remove_after_stop: .. index:: pair: cluster option; remove-after-stop remove-after-stop - :ref:`boolean ` - false - *Deprecated* Whether the cluster should remove resources from Pacemaker's executor after they are stopped. Values other than the default are, at best, poorly tested and potentially dangerous. This option is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. * - .. _startup_fencing: .. index:: pair: cluster option; startup-fencing startup-fencing - :ref:`boolean ` - true - *Advanced Use Only:* Whether the cluster should fence unseen nodes at start-up. Setting this to false is unsafe, because the unseen nodes could be active and running resources but unreachable. ``dc-deadtime`` acts as a grace period before this fencing, since a DC must be elected to schedule fencing. * - .. _election_timeout: .. index:: pair: cluster option; election-timeout election-timeout - :ref:`duration ` - 2min - *Advanced Use Only:* If a winner is not declared within this much time of starting an election, the node that initiated the election will declare itself the winner. * - .. _shutdown_escalation: .. index:: pair: cluster option; shutdown-escalation shutdown-escalation - :ref:`duration ` - 20min - *Advanced Use Only:* The controller will exit immediately if a shutdown does not complete within this much time. * - .. _join_integration_timeout: .. index:: pair: cluster option; join-integration-timeout join-integration-timeout - :ref:`duration ` - 3min - *Advanced Use Only:* If you need to adjust this value, it probably indicates the presence of a bug. * - .. _join_finalization_timeout: .. index:: pair: cluster option; join-finalization-timeout join-finalization-timeout - :ref:`duration ` - 30min - *Advanced Use Only:* If you need to adjust this value, it probably indicates the presence of a bug. * - .. _transition_delay: .. index:: pair: cluster option; transition-delay transition-delay - :ref:`duration ` - 0s - *Advanced Use Only:* Delay cluster recovery for the configured interval to allow for additional or related events to occur. This can be useful if your configuration is sensitive to the order in which ping updates arrive. Enabling this option will slow down cluster recovery under all conditions. diff --git a/doc/sphinx/Pacemaker_Explained/local-options.rst b/doc/sphinx/Pacemaker_Explained/local-options.rst index b95051777f..8c32990a54 100644 --- a/doc/sphinx/Pacemaker_Explained/local-options.rst +++ b/doc/sphinx/Pacemaker_Explained/local-options.rst @@ -1,568 +1,709 @@ Host-Local Configuration ------------------------ .. index:: pair: XML element; configuration .. note:: Directory and file paths below may differ on your system depending on your Pacemaker build settings.

They work by setting environment variables when Pacemaker daemons start up. .. list-table:: **Local Options** :class: longtable :widths: 2 2 2 5 :header-rows: 1 * - Name - Type - Default - Description * - .. _cib_pam_service: .. index:: pair: node option; CIB_pam_service CIB_pam_service - :ref:`text ` - login - PAM service to use for remote CIB client authentication (passed to ``pam_start``). * - .. _pcmk_logfacility: .. index:: pair: node option; PCMK_logfacility PCMK_logfacility - :ref:`enumeration ` - daemon - Enable logging via the system log or journal, using the specified log facility. Messages sent here are of value to all Pacemaker administrators. This can be disabled using ``none``, but that is not recommended. Allowed values: * ``none`` * ``daemon`` * ``user`` * ``local0`` * ``local1`` * ``local2`` * ``local3`` * ``local4`` * ``local5`` * ``local6`` * ``local7`` * - .. _pcmk_logpriority: .. index:: pair:: node option; PCMK_logpriority PCMK_logpriority - :ref:`enumeration ` - notice - Unless system logging is disabled using ``PCMK_logfacility=none``, messages of the specified log severity and higher will be sent to the system log. The default is appropriate for most installations. Allowed values: * ``emerg`` * ``alert`` * ``crit`` * ``error`` * ``warning`` * ``notice`` * ``info`` * ``debug`` * - .. _pcmk_logfile: .. index:: pair:: node option; PCMK_logfile PCMK_logfile - :ref:`text ` - |PCMK_LOG_FILE| - Unless set to ``none``, more detailed log messages will be sent to the specified file (in addition to the system log, if enabled). These messages may have extended information, and will include messages of info severity. This log is of more use to developers and advanced system administrators, and when reporting problems. Note: The default is |PCMK_CONTAINER_LOG_FILE| (inside the container) for bundled container nodes; this would typically be mapped to a different path on the host running the container. * - .. _pcmk_logfile_mode: .. index:: pair:: node option; PCMK_logfile_mode PCMK_logfile_mode - :ref:`text ` - 0660 - Pacemaker will set the permissions on the detail log to this value (see ``chmod(1)``). * - .. _pcmk_debug: .. index:: pair:: node option; PCMK_debug PCMK_debug - :ref:`enumeration ` - no - Whether to send debug severity messages to the detail log. This may be set for all subsystems (``yes`` or ``no``) or for specific (comma- separated) subsystems. Allowed subsystems are: * ``pacemakerd`` * ``pacemaker-attrd`` * ``pacemaker-based`` * ``pacemaker-controld`` * ``pacemaker-execd`` * ``pacemaker-fenced`` * ``pacemaker-schedulerd`` Example: ``PCMK_debug="pacemakerd,pacemaker-execd"`` * - .. _pcmk_stderr: .. index:: pair:: node option; PCMK_stderr PCMK_stderr - :ref:`boolean ` - no - *Advanced Use Only:* Whether to send daemon log messages to stderr. This would be useful only during troubleshooting, when starting Pacemaker manually on the command line. Setting this option in the configuration file is pointless, since the file is not read when starting Pacemaker manually. However, it can be set directly as an environment variable on the command line. * - .. _pcmk_trace_functions: .. index:: pair:: node option; PCMK_trace_functions PCMK_trace_functions - :ref:`text ` - - *Advanced Use Only:* Send debug and trace severity messages from these (comma-separated) source code functions to the detail log. Example: ``PCMK_trace_functions="func1,func2"`` * - .. _pcmk_trace_files: .. index:: pair:: node option; PCMK_trace_files PCMK_trace_files - :ref:`text ` - - *Advanced Use Only:* Send debug and trace severity messages from all functions in these (comma-separated) source file names to the detail log. Example: ``PCMK_trace_files="file1.c,file2.c"`` * - .. _pcmk_trace_formats: .. index:: pair:: node option; PCMK_trace_formats PCMK_trace_formats - :ref:`text ` - - *Advanced Use Only:* Send trace severity messages that are generated by these (comma-separated) format strings in the source code to the detail log. Example: ``PCMK_trace_formats="Error: %s (%d)"`` * - .. _pcmk_trace_tags: .. index:: pair:: node option; PCMK_trace_tags PCMK_trace_tags - :ref:`text ` - - *Advanced Use Only:* Send debug and trace severity messages related to these (comma-separated) resource IDs to the detail log. Example: ``PCMK_trace_tags="client-ip,dbfs"`` * - .. _pcmk_blackbox: .. index:: pair:: node option; PCMK_blackbox PCMK_blackbox - :ref:`enumeration ` - no - *Advanced Use Only:* Enable blackbox logging globally (``yes`` or ``no``) or by subsystem. A blackbox contains a rolling buffer of all logs (of all severities). Blackboxes are stored under |CRM_BLACKBOX_DIR| by default, by default, and their contents can be viewed using the ``qb-blackbox(8)`` command. The blackbox recorder can be enabled at start using this variable, or at runtime by sending a Pacemaker subsystem daemon process a ``SIGUSR1`` or ``SIGTRAP`` signal, and disabled by sending ``SIGUSR2`` (see ``kill(1)``). The blackbox will be written after a crash, assertion failure, or ``SIGTRAP`` signal. See :ref:`PCMK_debug ` for allowed subsystems. Example: ``PCMK_blackbox="pacemakerd,pacemaker-execd"`` * - .. _pcmk_trace_blackbox: .. index:: pair:: node option; PCMK_trace_blackbox PCMK_trace_blackbox - :ref:`enumeration ` - - *Advanced Use Only:* Write a blackbox whenever the message at the specified function and line is logged. Multiple entries may be comma- separated. Example: ``PCMK_trace_blackbox="remote.c:144,remote.c:149"`` * - .. _pcmk_node_start_state: .. index:: pair:: node option; PCMK_node_start_state PCMK_node_start_state - :ref:`enumeration ` - default - By default, the local host will join the cluster in an online or standby state when Pacemaker first starts depending on whether it was previously put into standby mode. If this variable is set to ``standby`` or ``online``, it will force the local host to join in the specified state. * - .. _pcmk_node_action_limit: .. index:: pair:: node option; PCMK_node_action_limit PCMK_node_action_limit - :ref:`nonnegative integer ` - - Specify the maximum number of jobs that can be scheduled on this node. If set, this overrides the ``node-action-limit`` cluster property for this node. * - .. _pcmk_shutdown_delay: .. index:: pair:: node option; PCMK_shutdown_delay PCMK_shutdown_delay - :ref:`timeout ` - - Specify a delay before shutting down ``pacemakerd`` after shutting down all other Pacemaker daemons. * - .. _pcmk_fail_fast: .. index:: pair:: node option; PCMK_fail_fast PCMK_fail_fast - :ref:`boolean ` - no - By default, if a Pacemaker subsystem crashes, the main ``pacemakerd`` process will attempt to restart it. If this variable is set to ``yes``, ``pacemakerd`` will panic the local host instead. * - .. _pcmk_panic_action: .. index:: pair:: node option; PCMK_panic_action PCMK_panic_action - :ref:`enumeration ` - reboot - Pacemaker will panic the local host under certain conditions. By default, this means rebooting the host. This variable can change that behavior: if ``crash``, trigger a kernel crash (useful if you want a kernel dump to investigate); if ``sync-reboot`` or ``sync-crash``, synchronize filesystems before rebooting the host or triggering a kernel crash. The sync values are more likely to preserve log messages, but with the risk that the host may be left active if the synchronization hangs. * - .. _pcmk_authkey_location: .. index:: pair:: node option; PCMK_authkey_location PCMK_authkey_location - :ref:`text ` - |PCMK_AUTHKEY_FILE| - Use the contents of this file as the authorization key to use with Pacemaker Remote connections. This file must be readable by Pacemaker daemons (that is, it must allow read permissions to either the |CRM_DAEMON_USER| user or the |CRM_DAEMON_GROUP| group), and its contents must be identical on all nodes. * - .. _pcmk_remote_address: .. index:: pair:: node option; PCMK_remote_address PCMK_remote_address - :ref:`text ` - - By default, if the Pacemaker Remote service is run on the local node, it will listen for connections on all IP addresses. This may be set to one address to listen on instead, as a resolvable hostname or as a numeric IPv4 or IPv6 address. When resolving names or listening on all addresses, IPv6 will be preferred if available. When listening on an IPv6 address, IPv4 clients will be supported via IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses. Example: ``PCMK_remote_address="192.0.2.1"`` * - .. _pcmk_remote_port: .. index:: pair:: node option; PCMK_remote_port PCMK_remote_port - :ref:`port ` - 3121 - Use this TCP port number for Pacemaker Remote node connections. This value must be the same on all nodes. * - .. _pcmk_remote_pid1: .. index:: pair:: node option; PCMK_remote_pid1 PCMK_remote_pid1 - :ref:`enumeration ` - default - *Advanced Use Only:* When a bundle resource's ``run-command`` option is left to default, Pacemaker Remote runs as PID 1 in the bundle's containers. When it does so, it loads environment variables from the container's |PCMK_INIT_ENV_FILE| and performs the PID 1 responsibility of reaping dead subprocesses. This option controls whether those actions are performed when Pacemaker Remote is not running as PID 1. It is intended primarily for developer testing but can be useful when ``run-command`` is set to a separate, custom PID 1 process that launches Pacemaker Remote. * ``full``: Pacemaker Remote loads environment variables from |PCMK_INIT_ENV_FILE| and reaps dead subprocesses. * ``vars``: Pacemaker Remote loads environment variables from |PCMK_INIT_ENV_FILE| but does not reap dead subprocesses. * ``default``: Pacemaker Remote performs neither action. If Pacemaker Remote is running as PID 1, this option is ignored, and the behavior is the same as for ``full``. * - .. _pcmk_tls_priorities: .. index:: pair:: node option; PCMK_tls_priorities PCMK_tls_priorities - :ref:`text ` - |PCMK_GNUTLS_PRIORITIES| - *Advanced Use Only:* These GnuTLS cipher priorities will be used for TLS connections (whether for Pacemaker Remote connections or remote CIB access, when enabled). See: https://gnutls.org/manual/html_node/Priority-Strings.html Pacemaker will append ``":+ANON-DH"`` for remote CIB access and ``":+DHE-PSK:+PSK"`` for Pacemaker Remote connections, as they are required for the respective functionality. Example: ``PCMK_tls_priorities="SECURE128:+SECURE192"`` * - .. _pcmk_dh_min_bits: .. index:: pair:: node option; PCMK_dh_min_bits PCMK_dh_min_bits - :ref:`nonnegative integer ` - 0 (no minimum) - *Advanced Use Only:* Set a lower bound on the bit length of the prime number generated for Diffie-Hellman parameters needed by TLS connections. The default is no minimum. The server (Pacemaker Remote daemon, or CIB manager configured to accept remote clients) will use this value to provide a floor for the value recommended by the GnuTLS library. The library will only accept a limited number of specific values, which vary by library version, so setting these is recommended only when required for compatibility with specific client versions. Clients (connecting cluster nodes or remote CIB commands) will require that the server use a prime of at least this size. This is recommended only when the value must be lowered in order for the client's GnuTLS library to accept a connection to an older server. * - .. _pcmk_dh_max_bits: .. index:: pair:: node option; PCMK_dh_max_bits PCMK_dh_max_bits - :ref:`nonnegative integer ` - 0 (no maximum) - *Advanced Use Only:* Set an upper bound on the bit length of the prime number generated for Diffie-Hellman parameters needed by TLS connections. The default is no maximum. The server (Pacemaker Remote daemon, or CIB manager configured to accept remote clients) will use this value to provide a ceiling for the value recommended by the GnuTLS library. The library will only accept a limited number of specific values, which vary by library version, so setting these is recommended only when required for compatibility with specific client versions. Clients do not use ``PCMK_dh_max_bits``. * - .. _pcmk_ipc_type: .. index:: pair:: node option; PCMK_ipc_type PCMK_ipc_type - :ref:`enumeration ` - shared-mem - *Advanced Use Only:* Force use of a particular IPC method. Allowed values: * ``shared-mem`` * ``socket`` * ``posix`` * ``sysv`` * - .. _pcmk_ipc_buffer: .. index:: pair:: node option; PCMK_ipc_buffer PCMK_ipc_buffer - :ref:`nonnegative integer ` - 131072 - *Advanced Use Only:* Specify an IPC buffer size in bytes. This can be useful when connecting to large clusters that result in messages exceeding the default size (which will also result in log messages referencing this variable). * - .. _pcmk_cluster_type: .. index:: pair:: node option; PCMK_cluster_type PCMK_cluster_type - :ref:`enumeration ` - corosync - *Advanced Use Only:* Specify the cluster layer to be used. If unset, Pacemaker will detect and use a supported cluster layer, if available. Currently, ``"corosync"`` is the only supported cluster layer. If multiple layers are supported in the future, this will allow overriding Pacemaker's automatic detection to select a specific one. * - .. _pcmk_schema_directory: .. index:: pair:: node option; PCMK_schema_directory PCMK_schema_directory - :ref:`text ` - |CRM_SCHEMA_DIRECTORY| - *Advanced Use Only:* Specify an alternate location for RNG schemas and XSL transforms. * - .. _pcmk_remote_schema_directory: .. index:: pair:: node option; PCMK_remote_schema_directory PCMK_remote_schema_directory - :ref:`text ` - |PCMK__REMOTE_SCHEMA_DIR| - *Advanced Use Only:* Specify an alternate location on Pacemaker Remote nodes for storing newer RNG schemas and XSL transforms fetched from the cluster. * - .. _pcmk_valgrind_enabled: .. index:: pair:: node option; PCMK_valgrind_enabled PCMK_valgrind_enabled - :ref:`enumeration ` - no - *Advanced Use Only:* Whether subsystem daemons should be run under ``valgrind``. Allowed values are the same as for ``PCMK_debug``. * - .. _pcmk_callgrind_enabled: .. index:: pair:: node option; PCMK_callgrind_enabled PCMK_callgrind_enabled - :ref:`enumeration ` - no - *Advanced Use Only:* Whether subsystem daemons should be run under ``valgrind`` with the ``callgrind`` tool enabled. Allowed values are the same as for ``PCMK_debug``. * - .. _sbd_sync_resource_startup: .. index:: pair:: node option; SBD_SYNC_RESOURCE_STARTUP SBD_SYNC_RESOURCE_STARTUP - :ref:`boolean ` - - If true, ``pacemakerd`` waits for a ping from ``sbd`` during startup before starting other Pacemaker daemons, and during shutdown after stopping other Pacemaker daemons but before exiting. Default value is set based on the ``--with-sbd-sync-default`` configure script option. * - .. _sbd_watchdog_timeout: .. index:: pair:: node option; SBD_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT SBD_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT - :ref:`duration ` - - If the ``stonith-watchdog-timeout`` cluster property is set to a negative or invalid value, use double this value as the default if positive, or use 0 as the default otherwise. This value must be greater than the value of ``stonith-watchdog-timeout`` if both are set. * - .. _valgrind_opts: .. index:: pair:: node option; VALGRIND_OPTS VALGRIND_OPTS - :ref:`text ` - - *Advanced Use Only:* Pass these options to valgrind, when enabled (see ``valgrind(1)``). ``"--vgdb=no"`` should usually be specified because ``pacemaker-execd`` can lower privileges when executing commands, which would otherwise leave a bunch of unremovable files in ``/tmp``.
