.. index:: single: status single: XML element, status Status -- Here be dragons ------------------------- Most users never need to understand the contents of the status section and can be happy with the output from ``crm_mon``. However for those with a curious inclination, this section attempts to provide an overview of its contents. .. index:: single: node; status Node Status ########### In addition to the cluster's configuration, the CIB holds an up-to-date representation of each cluster node in the ``status`` section. .. topic:: A bare-bones status entry for a healthy node **cl-virt-1** .. code-block:: xml Users are highly recommended *not* to modify any part of a node's state *directly*. The cluster will periodically regenerate the entire section from authoritative sources, so any changes should be done with the tools appropriate to those sources. .. table:: **Authoritative Sources for State Information** :widths: 1 1 +----------------------+----------------------+ | CIB Object | Authoritative Source | +======================+======================+ | node_state | pacemaker-controld | +----------------------+----------------------+ | transient_attributes | pacemaker-attrd | +----------------------+----------------------+ | lrm | pacemaker-execd | +----------------------+----------------------+ The fields used in the ``node_state`` objects are named as they are largely for historical reasons, to maintain compatibility with older versions. .. table:: **Node Status Fields** :widths: 1 3 +------------------+----------------------------------------------------------+ | Field | Description | +==================+==========================================================+ | id | .. index: | | | single: id; node status | | | single: node; status, id | | | | | | Unique identifier for the node.

Transient Node Attributes ######################### Like regular :ref:`node_attributes`, the name/value pairs listed in the ``transient_attributes`` section help to describe the node. However they are forgotten by the cluster when the node goes offline. This can be useful, for instance, when you want a node to be in standby mode (not able to run resources) just until the next reboot. In addition to any values the administrator sets, the cluster will also store information about failed resources here. .. topic:: A set of transient node attributes for node **cl-virt-1** .. code-block:: xml In the above example, we can see that a monitor on the ``pingd:0`` resource has failed once, at 09:22:22 UTC 6 April 2009. [#]_. We also see that the node is connected to three **pingd** peers and that all known resources have been checked for on this machine (``probe_complete``). .. index:: single: Operation History Operation History ################# A node's resource history is held in the ``lrm_resources`` element (a child of the ``lrm`` element). The information stored here includes enough information for the cluster to stop the resource safely if it is removed from the ``configuration`` section. Specifically, the resource's ``id``, ``class``, ``type`` and ``provider`` are stored. .. topic:: A record of the ``apcstonith`` resource .. code-block:: xml Additionally, we store history entries for certain actions. .. table:: **Attributes of an lrm_rsc_op element** :class: longtable :widths: 1 3 +------------------+----------------------------------------------------------+ | Field | Description | +==================+==========================================================+ | id | .. index:: | | | single: id; action status | | | single: action; status, id | | | | | | Identifier for the history entry constructed from the | | | resource ID, action name, and operation interval. | +------------------+----------------------------------------------------------+ | call-id | .. index:: | | | single: call-id; action status | | | single: action; status, call-id | | | | | | A node-specific counter used to determine the order in | | | which actions were executed. | +------------------+----------------------------------------------------------+ | operation | .. index:: | | | single: operation; action status | | | single: action; status, operation | | | | | | The action name the resource agent was invoked with. | +------------------+----------------------------------------------------------+ | interval | .. index:: | | | single: interval; action status | | | single: action; status, interval | | | | | | The frequency, in milliseconds, at which the operation | | | will be repeated.

The cluster schedules probes for every configured resource on a node when the node first starts, in order to determine the resource's current state before it takes any further action. From the ``transition-key``, we can see that this was the 22nd action of the 2nd graph produced by this instance of the controller (2668bbeb-06d5-40f9-936d-24cb7f87006a). The third field of the ``transition-key`` contains a 7, which indicates that the cluster expects to find the resource inactive. By looking at the ``rc-code`` property, we see that this was the case. As that is the only action recorded for this node, we can conclude that the cluster started the resource elsewhere. Complex Operation History Example _________________________________ .. topic:: Resource history of a ``pingd`` clone with multiple entries .. code-block:: xml When more than one history entry exists, it is important to first sort them by ``call-id`` before interpreting them. Once sorted, the above example can be summarized as: #. A non-recurring monitor operation returning 7 (not running), with a ``call-id`` of 3 #. A stop operation returning 0 (success), with a ``call-id`` of 32 #. A start operation returning 0 (success), with a ``call-id`` of 33 #. A recurring monitor returning 0 (success), with a ``call-id`` of 34 The cluster processes each history entry to build up a picture of the resource's state. After the first and second entries, it is considered stopped, and after the third it considered active. Based on the last operation, we can tell that the resource is currently active. Additionally, from the presence of a ``stop`` operation with a lower ``call-id`` than that of the ``start`` operation, we can conclude that the resource has been restarted. Specifically this occurred as part of actions 11 and 31 of transition 11 from the controller instance with the key ``2668bbeb...``. This information can be helpful for locating the relevant section of the logs when looking for the source of a failure. .. [#] You can use the standard ``date`` command to print a human-readable version of any seconds-since-epoch value, for example ``date -d @1239009742``.
