In the <actions> section of a RHCS resource agent's meta-data, there are nodes for both action name="status" and action name="monitor". Both of them have an interval and a timeout. For example, in ip.sh: <!-- Checks to see if the IP is up and (optionally) the link is working --> <action name="status" interval="20" timeout="10"/> <action name="monitor" interval="20" timeout="10"/> <!-- Checks to see if we can ping the IP address locally --> <action name="status" depth="10" interval="60" timeout="20"/> <action name="monitor" depth="10" interval="60" timeout="20"/> I assume that one of them controls how often rgmanager runs the resource agent to check the resource status, but which one, and what's the point of the other one? I tried to find the answer in: https://fedorahosted.org/cluster/wiki/ResourceActions http://www.opencf.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/specs/ra/resource-agent-api.txt?rev=1.10 Neither of them explain why there are separate "status" and "monitor" actions. -- Cos -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
