OCF_PACEMAKER_PING(7)

💖 OCF_PACEMAKER_PING(7) 💖

okay so real talk, this is a page from the Pacemaker Configuration manual set, and bestie, it's literally the whole ocf_pacemaker_ping node-connectivity situation. let's get into it ✨

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

ocf_pacemaker_ping — node connectivity, that's the whole vibe. it's giving "how many friends can this node even reach rn" 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

[OCF_RESKEY_pidfile=string] [OCF_RESKEY_dampen=integer]
[OCF_RESKEY_name=string] [OCF_RESKEY_multiplier=integer]
[OCF_RESKEY_host_list=string] [OCF_RESKEY_attempts=integer]
[OCF_RESKEY_timeout=integer] [OCF_RESKEY_options=string]
[OCF_RESKEY_failure_score=integer] [OCF_RESKEY_use_fping=boolean]
[OCF_RESKEY_debug=string]

ping [start | stop | monitor | meta-data | validate-all | reload-agent]

no cap, that second line is the actual command and the actions it takes, copy it exactly bestie 💅

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

every single time the monitor action runs, this resource agent records — in the CIB — the current number of nodes the host can connect to using the system fping (preferred, obvs 👑) or the ping tool.

so yeah, it's literally out here counting your node's connections and writing it down. main character energy fr fr 💀

✨ SUPPORTED PARAMETERS ✨

• OCF_RESKEY_pidfile = string [/ping-] — PID file, the classic little file that holds the PID. 🍓
• OCF_RESKEY_dampen = integer [5s] — Dampening interval. this is the time to wait (dampening) before further changes occur — like, let it chill for a sec before reacting. 🙈
• OCF_RESKEY_name = string [pingd] — Attribute name. the name of the attributes to set, and lowkey this is the name that gets used in the constraints. iykyk. ⭐
• OCF_RESKEY_multiplier = integer [1] — Value multiplier. the number by which to multiply the number of connected ping nodes by. math era 💅
• OCF_RESKEY_host_list = string [[]] — Host list. a space separated list of ping nodes to count. yes, space separated, don't come at me with commas. 🌈
• OCF_RESKEY_attempts = integer [3] — no. of ping attempts. this is the number of ping attempts, per host, before declaring it dead. three strikes and you're out energy 💀
• OCF_RESKEY_timeout = integer [2] — ping timeout in seconds. how long, in seconds, to wait before declaring a ping lost. patience is a virtue but two seconds is two seconds. 🧚
• OCF_RESKEY_options = string [[]] — Extra Options. a catch all for any other options that need to be passed to ping. the vibes bucket 🫶
• OCF_RESKEY_failure_score = integer [[]] — failure_score. the resource is failed if the score is less than failure_score. the default is that it never fails. 👑
• OCF_RESKEY_use_fping = boolean [1] — Use fping if available. use fping rather than ping, if found. if set to 0, fping will not be used even if present. periodt. 🔥
• OCF_RESKEY_debug = string [false] — Verbose logging. enables you to use default attrd_updater verbose logging on every call. chatty era 😭
