OCF_HEARTBEAT_CONNTR(7)

💖 ocf_heartbeat_conntrackd — the manual, but make it a group chat 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, because we're about to get into OCF_HEARTBEAT_CONNTR(7), which is the manual page for ocf_heartbeat_conntrackd. yes the manpage name is a whole mouthful, we don't talk about it. it's from the OCF resource agents family and honestly? it's giving "quietly keeping your cluster alive" energy. iconic behaviour, no cap. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

ocf_heartbeat_conntrackd — this resource agent manages conntrackd, periodt.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

conntrackd [start | stop | monitor | promote | demote | meta-data |
           validate-all]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

It's a Promotable OCF Resource Agent for conntrackd. that's the whole vibe — promotable, so it can flex between the promoted role and the unpromoted role like the main character it is. 👑

---

🎀 SUPPORTED PARAMETERS 🎀

okay these are the little knobs you get to turn, and there are exactly two of them, so no excuses, you can absolutely memorise this.

• binary — the name of the conntrackd executable. if conntrackd is installed and available in the default PATH, it is sufficient to configure the name of the binary — for example "my-conntrackd-binary-version-0.9.14". if conntrackd is installed somewhere else, you may also give a full path — for example "/packages/conntrackd-0.9.14/sbin/conntrackd". (optional, string, default "conntrackd")
• config — full path to the conntrackd.conf file. for example "/packages/conntrackd-0.9.14/etc/conntrackd/conntrackd.conf". (optional, string, default "/etc/conntrackd/conntrackd.conf")

that's it. two params. we love a low-maintenance resource agent. 🫶

💜 SUPPORTED ACTIONS 💜

this resource agent supports the following actions (operations), and yes bestie, every single one comes with a suggested minimum timeout, so please don't come for me about the numbers:

• start — starts the resource. Suggested minimum timeout: 30s.
• promote — promotes the resource to the Master role. Suggested minimum timeout: 30s.
• demote — demotes the resource to the Slave role. Suggested minimum timeout: 30s.
• notify — Suggested minimum timeout: 30s.
• stop — stops the resource. Suggested minimum timeout: 30s.
• monitor (Unpromoted role) — performs a detailed status check. Suggested minimum timeout: 20s. Suggested interval: 20s.
• monitor (Promoted role) — performs a detailed status check. Suggested minimum timeout: 20s. Suggested interval: 10s.
• meta-data — retrieves resource agent metadata (internal use only). Suggested minimum timeout: 5s.
• validate-all — performs a validation of the resource configuration. Suggested minimum timeout: 30s.

not me pointing out that the Promoted monitor interval (10s) is half the Unpromoted one (20s) — that's just what the page says, and the promoted role is simply built different. 🔥

🌈 EXAMPLE CRM SHELL 🌈

here's an example configuration for a conntrackd resource using the crm(8) shell — copy it exactly, don't freestyle:

primitive p_conntrackd ocf:heartbeat:conntrackd \
  op monitor timeout="20s" interval="20s" role="Unpromoted" \
  op monitor timeout="20s" interval="10s" role="Promoted"

ms ms_conntrackd p_conntrackd \
  meta notify="true" interleave="true"

---

⭐ EXAMPLE PCS ⭐

and here's the same energy for a conntrackd resource using pcs(8):

pcs resource create p_conntrackd ocf:heartbeat:conntrackd \
  op monitor timeout="20s" interval="20s" role="Unpromoted" \
  op monitor timeout="20s" interval="10s" role="Promoted" promotable
