Keyword addr
required: false
scopable: true
default: 224.3.29.71
Description:
The multicast address to send to and listen on.
Keyword comment
required: false
scopable: false
Description:
A free form text describing the role of the object, of the node, or of the section it is set in.
The keyword is accepted in any section, so the DEFAULT section can document a configuration as a whole, and a resource, pool, heartbeat, array or network section can document itself.
The agent does not interpret the value.
Keyword interval
required: false
scopable: true
default: 5s
convert: duration
Description:
The maximum interval between 2 heartbeat payload sends.
The actual interval is not fixed, because the daemon tries to send the message as soon as it has something to notify. A minimum interval protects the node from saturating the network and cpu with the daemon synchronization workload.
Keyword intf
required: false
scopable: true
Default:
The natural interface for <addr>
Example:
intf=eth0
Description:
The interface to bind.
Keyword port
required: false
scopable: true
default: 10000
convert: int
Description:
The port for each node to send to or listen on.
Keyword timeout
required: false
scopable: true
default: 15s
convert: duration
Description:
The delay since the last received heartbeat from a node before considering this node is gone.
Keyword type
required: true
scopable: false
candidates: unicast, multicast, disk, relay
