HASTMON.CONF(5) BSD File Formats Manual HASTMON.CONF(5)NAMEhastmon.conf — configuration file for the hastmon(8) deamon and the
hastmonctl(8) utility.
DESCRIPTION
The hastmon.conf file is used by both hastmon(8) daemon and hastmonctl(8)
control utility. Configuration file is designed in a way that exactly
the same file can be (and should be) used on all nodes. Every line
starting with # is treated as comment and ignored.
CONFIGURATION FILE SYNTAX
General syntax of the hastmon.conf file is following:
# Global section
control <addr>
listen <addr>
timeout <seconds>
attempts <number>
heartbeat_interval <seconds>
complaint_count <number>
complaint_interval <seconds>
exec <path>
role_on_start <role>
key {
algorithm <name>
secret <string>
}
on <node> {
# Node section
control <addr>
listen <addr>
priority <number>
attempts <number>
heartbeat_interval <seconds>
complaint_count <number>
complaint_interval <seconds>
role_on_start <role>
}
on <node> {
# Node section
control <addr>
listen <addr>
priority <number>
attempts <number>
heartbeat_interval <seconds>
complaint_count <number>
complaint_interval <seconds>
role_on_start <role>
}
resource <name> {
# Resource section
exec <path>
timeout <seconds>
attempts <number>
heartbeat_interval <seconds>
complaint_count <number>
complaint_interval <seconds>
role_on_start <role>
key {

}
on <node> {
# Resource-node section
# Required
exec <path>
# Required
remote <addr>
priority <number>
attempts <number>
heartbeat_interval <seconds>
complaint_count <number>
complaint_interval <seconds>
role_on_start <role>
}
on <node> {
# Resource-node section
# Required
exec <path>
# Required
remote <addr>
priority <number>
attempts <number>
heartbeat_interval <seconds>
complaint_count <number>
complaint_interval <seconds>
role_on_start <role>
}
}
Most of the various available configuration parameters are optional. If
parameter is not defined in the particular section, it will be inherited
from the parent section. For example, if the listen parameter is not
defined in the node section, it will be inherited from the global sec‐
tion. If the global section does not define the listen parameter at all,
the default value will be used.
CONFIGURATION FILE DESCRIPTION
The ⟨node⟩ argument can be replaced either by a full hostname as obtained
by gethostname(3), only first part of the hostname, or (on FreeBSD) by
node's UUID as found in the kern.hostuuid sysctl(8) variable.
The following statements are available:
attempts ⟨number⟩
Nubber of attempt to start resource before giving up. The default
value is 3.
complaint_count ⟨number⟩
Number of complaints secondary should receive before initiating
failovering. The default value is 5.
complaint_interval ⟨seconds⟩
Conplaint's life time in seconds. Complaints older this interval
are expired and not taken into consideration. The default value is
60.
control ⟨addr⟩
Address for communication with hastmonctl(8). Each of the follow‐
ing examples defines the same control address:
uds:///var/run/hastmonctl
unix:///var/run/hastmonctl
/var/run/hastmonctl
The default value is uds:///var/run/hastmonctl. listen statement.
exec ⟨path⟩
Execute the given program on various events and to check resource
status. Below is the list of currently implemented events and
arguments the given program is executed with:
<path> start <resource>
Executed on primary node to start resource.
<path> stop <resource>
Executed on both primary and secondary nodes to stop
resource.
<path> status <resource>
Executed on both primary and secondary nodes to check
resource status.
The script should return 0 as an exit status if the resource
is running and is OK, 1 if the resource is not running and
some other value if the resource is in unknown state.
<path> role <resource> <oldrole> <newrole>
Executed on both primary and secondary nodes when resource
role is changed.
<path> connect <resource>
Executed on both primary and secondary nodes when connection
for the given resource between the nodes is established.
<path> disconnect <resource>
Executed on both primary and secondary nodes when connection
for the given resource between the nodes is lost.
The ⟨path⟩ argument should contain full path to executable program.
If the given program exits with code different than 0, hastmon will
log it as an error.
The ⟨resource⟩ argument is resource name from the configuration
file.
The ⟨oldrole⟩ argument is previous resource role (before the
change). It can be one of: init, secondary, primary, watchdog.
The ⟨newrole⟩ argument is current resource role (after the change).
It can be one of: init, secondary, primary, watchdog.
friends ⟨addr ...⟩
List of addresses (separated by space) of hosts that can connect to
the node. Format is the same as for the
heartbeat_interval ⟨seconds⟩
Interval between heartbeats (checks) in seconds. The default value
is 10.
key
Secret used for node authentication. If not specified host access
is controlled only by remote and friends settings.
algorithm ⟨name⟩
Signature algorithm being used (MD5, SHA1, SHA256,
RIPEMD160).
secret ⟨string⟩
Actual authentication key.
listen ⟨addr⟩
Address to listen on in form of:
protocol://protocol-specific-address
Each of the following examples defines the same listen address:
0.0.0.0
0.0.0.0:8458
tcp://0.0.0.0
tcp://0.0.0.0:8458
tcp4://0.0.0.0
tcp4://0.0.0.0:8458
The default value is tcp4://0.0.0.0:8458.
priority ⟨number⟩
Node's priority (the lower number the higher priority). Priority
is used when several primaries are started (e.g. after previous
primary died) to negotiate who will be primary and who has to
switch to secondary. The default value is 100.
remote ⟨addr ...⟩
Addresses of the remote hastmon daemons (separated by space). For‐
mat is the same as for the listen statement. When operating as a
primary node these addresses will be used to connect to the sec‐
ondary nodes. When operating as a secondary node only connections
from these addresses will be accepted. When operating as a watch‐
dog node these addresses will be used to check resource status on
the nodes and send complaints. + .Pp + A special value of + .Va
none + can be used when the remote address is not yet known (eg.
the other node is not + set up yet).
role_on_start ⟨role⟩
Role a resource should be set on hastmon start. It can be one of:
init, secondary, primary, watchdog. The default role is init.
timeout ⟨seconds⟩
Connection timeout in seconds. The default value is 5.
FILES
/usr/local/etc/hastmon.conf
The default hastmon.conf configuration file.
/var/run/hastmonctl Control socket used by the hastctl(8) control util‐
ity to communicate with the hastmon(8) daemon.
EXAMPLES
The example configuration file can look as follows:
# host1 and host2 run hast resource. Watchdog is run on host3.
resource hast {
exec /usr/local/etc/rc.d/hast
on host1 {
friends tcp4://host3
remote tcp4://host2
priority 1
}
on host2 {
friends tcp4://host3
remote tcp4://host1
priority 2
}
on host3 {
remote tcp4://host1 tcp4://host2
}
}
# host1, host2 and host3 run mail resource.
# Watchdog is run on host4 and host5.
resource mail {
friends tcp4://10.0.0.4 tcp4://10.0.0.5
exec /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mail
on host1 {
remote tcp4://10.0.0.2 tcp4://10.0.0.3
priority 1
}
on host2 {
remote tcp4://10.0.0.1 tcp4://10.0.0.3
priority 2
}
on host3 {
remote tcp4://10.0.0.1 tcp4://10.0.0.2
priority 3
}
on host4 {
remote tcp4://10.0.0.1 tcp4://10.0.0.2 tcp4://10.0.0.3
}
on host5 {
remote tcp4://10.0.0.1 tcp4://10.0.0.2 tcp4://10.0.0.3
}
}
