OCF_PACEMAKER_ATTRIB(7)

💅 ocf_pacemaker_attribute — the manual page, but make it a vibe ✨

okay so bestie, this is OCF_PACEMAKER_ATTRIB(7) from the Pacemaker Configuration section of the manual, and it's literally all about one little resource agent called attribute 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ocf_pacemaker_attribute — it manages a node attribute. that's it, that's the whole job, and it ate 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

[OCF_RESKEY_state=string] [OCF_RESKEY_name=string]
[OCF_RESKEY_active_value=string] [OCF_RESKEY_inactive_value=string]

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

so you can pass in those four env-var-ish parameters (all optional, defaults below, no cap), and then the agent itself takes one of those actions. iconic lineup honestly 👑

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

this resource agent controls a node attribute for the node it's running on. the way it works is so clean: it sets the attribute one way when started, and another way when stopped, and which values it uses is entirely up to your configuration parameters 🦋

like, it's giving "tiny agent, big responsibility". it's just flicking an attribute on and off for you. main character energy for something so small fr fr.

🎀 SUPPORTED PARAMETERS 🎀

• OCF_RESKEY_state = string [/var/run/opa-RESOURCENAME.state] — State file 🌈 the full path of a temporary file where the resource state gets stored. yes, full path. yes, it matters. don't be weird about it.
• OCF_RESKEY_name = string [opa-RESOURCENAME] — Attribute name ⭐ the name of the node attribute you want to manage. pick a good one bestie, it's your label now.
• OCF_RESKEY_active_value = string [1] — Attribute value when active 🔥 the value to use for the node attribute when the resource becomes active. and listen — an empty string here is discouraged, because monitor literally cannot tell it apart from a query error 😭 so don't do that to yourself.
• OCF_RESKEY_inactive_value = string [0] — Attribute value when inactive 💀 the value to use for the node attribute when the resource becomes inactive. that's it. that's the one.
