💖 OCF_HEARTBEAT_DUMMY(7) 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the OCF resource agents manual set — yes that's the whole manual name, we're just vibing with it up here instead of doing a boring header line 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

ocf_heartbeat_Dummy — the Example stateless resource agent. that's it. that's the name. iconic behavior honestly 👑

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

Dummy [start | stop | monitor | migrate_to | migrate_from | meta-data |
      validate-all]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So like… this is a Dummy Resource Agent. It does absolutely nothing except keep track of whether it's running or not 💀 no cap, that's the entire job. Its whole purpose in life is to be used for testing and to serve as a template for RA writers. main character energy of a mannequin, but make it cluster-aware ✨

NB: bestie please pay attention to the timeouts specified in the actions section below. They should be meaningful for the kind of resource the agent manages. They should be the minimum advised timeouts, but they shouldn't/cannot cover _all_ possible resource instances. So try to be neither overly generous nor too stingy — be moderate, fr fr. And the minimum timeouts should never be below 10 seconds. periodt.

This resource agent may be configured for native migration if available in the cluster manager. For Pacemaker, the allow-migrate="true" meta attribute enables native migration 🌈
