13.2. Event Notification with Monitoring Resources The ocf:pacemaker:ClusterMon resource can monitor the cluster status and trigger alerts on each cluster event. This resource runs the crm_mon command in the background at regular intervals. By default, the crm_mon command listens for resource events only; to enable listing for fencing events you can provide the --watch-fencing option to the command when you configure the ClusterMon resource. The crm_mon command does not monitor for membership issues but will print a message when fencing is started and when monitoring is started for that node, which would imply that a member just joined the cluster. The ClusterMon resource can execute an external program to determine what to do with cluster notifications by means of the extra_options parameter. Table 13.3, "Environment Variables Passed to the External Monitor Program" lists the environment variables that are passed to that program, which describe the type of cluster event that occurred. Table 13.3. Environment Variables Passed to the External Monitor Program Environment Variable Description CRM_notify_recipient The static external-recipient from the resource definition CRM_notify_node The node on which the status change happened CRM_notify_rsc The name of the resource that changed the status CRM_notify_task The operation that caused the status change CRM_notify_desc The textual output relevant error code of the operation (if any) that caused the status change CRM_notify_rc The return code of the operation CRM_target_rc The expected return code of the operation CRM_notify_status The numerical representation of the status of the operation The following example configures a ClusterMon resource that executes the external program crm_logger.sh which will log the event notifications specified in the program. The following procedure creates the crm_logger.sh program that this resource will use. On one node of the cluster, create the program that will log the event notifications. Set the ownership and permissions for the program. Use the scp command to copy the crm_logger.sh program to the other nodes of the cluster, putting the program in the same location on those nodes and setting the same ownership and permissions for the program. The following example configures the ClusterMon resource, named ClusterMon-External , that runs the program /usr/local/bin/crm_logger.sh . The ClusterMon resource outputs the cluster status to an html file, which is /var/www/html/cluster_mon.html in this example. The pidfile detects whether ClusterMon is already running; in this example that file is /var/run/crm_mon-external.pid . This resource is created as a clone so that it will run on every node in the cluster. The watch-fencing is specified to enable monitoring of fencing events in addition to resource events, including the start/stop/monitor, start/monitor. and stop of the fencing resource. Note The crm_mon command that this resource executes and which could be run manually is as follows: The following example shows the format of the output of the monitoring notifications that this example yields.
