Есть два сервера с операционной системой Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS. Но обоих серверах развёрнут LDAP proxy сервер на базе Multifactor. По сути это обычные LDAPS сервера, которые неплохо было бы объединить в один отказоустойчивый кластер Master — Slave с плавающим виртуальным IP-адресом. Сделаем это с помощью keepalived.
keepalived — это open source программное обеспечение (написано на C), предназначенное для обеспечения функций высокой надежности (high availabilitty) и балансировки нагрузки (load-balancing) в кластерах Linux. За первую функцию отвечает реализация протокола VRRP, а вторая основывается на модуле ядра IPVS.
VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol) — сетевой протокол, предназначенный для увеличения доступности маршрутизаторов, выполняющих роль шлюза по умолчанию. Это достигается путём объединения группы маршрутизаторов в один виртуальный маршрутизатор и назначения им общего IP-адреса, который и будет использоваться как шлюз по умолчанию для компьютеров в сети.
IPVS (IP Virtual Server) — модуль ядра Linux, реализующий балансировку нагрузки транспортного уровня, обычно называемую коммутацией уровня 4. L4-маршрутизатор.
Установка keepalived
В популярных ОС keepalived имеется в официальных репозиториях. Deb:
apt update
apt install keepalived
Rpm:
yum install keepalived
Настройка кластера
- На первом сервере настроен IP адрес: 10.12.49.150
- На втором сервере настроен IP адрес: 10.12.49.151
Выделяем новый IP адрес, который будет использоваться в качестве виртуального: 10.12.49.155.
Настраиваем конфигурационный файл /etc/keepalived/keepalived.conf на первом сервере:
cd /etc/keepalived
vim keepalived.conf
Содержимое:
vrrp_script chk_service {
script "/opt/multifactor-ldap.check.sh"
interval 3
weight 100
user mfa
}
vrrp_instance VI_mf_ldap {
interface ens160
state MASTER
priority 100
virtual_router_id 172
advert_int 1
unicast_src_ip 10.12.49.150
unicast_peer {
10.12.49.151
}
virtual_ipaddress {
10.12.49.155
}
track_script {
chk_service
}
}
Настраиваем конфигурационный файл /etc/keepalived/keepalived.conf на втором сервере:
cd /etc/keepalived
vim keepalived.conf
Содержимое:
vrrp_script chk_service {
script "/opt/multifactor-ldap.check.sh"
interval 3
weight 100
user mfa
}
vrrp_instance VI_mf_ldap {
interface ens160
state BACKUP
priority 50
virtual_router_id 172
advert_int 1
unicast_src_ip 10.12.49.151
unicast_peer {
10.12.49.152
}
virtual_ipaddress {
10.12.49.155
}
track_script {
chk_service
}
}
Давайте посмотрим, что у нас тут есть.
- vrrp_script — скрипт проверки сервиса, chk_service — имя функции
- script — скрипт может быть любым, он должен вернуть код ответа 0 если MultiFactor Ldap Adapter работает нормально, или любой другой ответ если не работает
- interval — периодичность запуска скрипта проверки в секундах
- weight — значение, на которое будет уменьшен приоритет сервера, в случае перехода в состояние FAULT
- user — пользователь, под которым запускается скрипт, в данном случае mfa — пользователь MultiFactor Ldap Adapter
- vrrp_instance — экземпляр сервиса, назовём VI_mf_ldap
- interface — имя сетевого интерфейса
- state — начальное состояние при запуске. На главном MASTER, на втором BACKUP
- priority — приоритет выбора главного сервера
- virtual_router_id — уникальный идентификатор VRRP экземпляра, должен быть одинаковым на всех серверах экземпляра VRRP
- advert_int — периодичность оповещения мастером других нод время в секундах, если за данное время мастер не успеет отправить широковещательный сигнал, начнутся выборы другого мастера на основе priority
- unicast_src_ip — адрес источник VRRP пакетов
- unicast_peer — адреса получатели VRRP пакетов
- virtual_ipaddress — блок виртуальных IP адресов, которые будут активны на мастере, должны совпадать на всех серверах экземпляра VRRP
- track_script — мониторинг с использованием скрипта, который должен возвращать 0 если проверка завершилась успешно
Есть примеры с использованием опции authentication. Она устарела и была удалена из VRRPv2 в спецификации RFC3768 в 2004 году. Рекомендуется избегать использования этой опции.

Keepalived Configuration Manual Page
keepalived.conf(5) Keepalived Configuration's Manual keepalived.conf(5) NAME keepalived.conf - configuration file for Keepalived Note: This documentation MUST be considered as THE exhaustive source of in- formation in order to configure Keepalived. This documenation is sup- ported and maintained by Keepalived Core-Team. DESCRIPTION keepalived.conf is the configuration file which de- scribes all the Keepalived keywords. Keywords are placed in hierarchies of blocks and subblocks, each layer being delimited by '{' and '}' pairs. Comments start with '#' or '!' to the end of the line and can start anywhere in a line. The keyword 'include' and variants allow inclusion of other configura- tion files from within the main configuration file, or from subse- quently included files. The format of the include directive is: include FILENAME FILENAME can be a fully qualified or relative pathname, and can include wildcards, including csh style brace expressions such as "{foo/{,cat,dog},bar}" if glob() supports them. After opening an included file, the current directory is set to the di- rectory of the file itself, so any relative paths included from a file are relative to the directory of the including file itself. The include variants add additional include checks to the current in- clude_check level (see below) The variants are: includer FILENAME - same as include_check readable includem FILENAME - same as include_check match includew FILENAME - same as include_check wild- card_match includeb FILENAME - same as include_check brace_match includea FILENAME - all include_check checks NOTE: If the libc glob() function does not support GLOB_ALTDIRFUNC (e.g. Musl libc as on Alpine Linux etc.), then only includea, includer and includew of the above options will work. Why do we want to allow errors? Suppose a configuration has optional files in /etc/keepalived/conf.d, then in- clude_/etc/keepalived/conf.d/* could be specified, but it should not error if there are no files in the directory; in this case includer should be used. Otherwise it is sensible to use in- cludea. include handling will not work with if the include line uses condi- tional configuration or parameter substitution, since the detection of the include keywords is done before the processing on conditional con- figuration and parameter substitution. The basic include keyword is retained for backward compatibil- ity, since it does not produce config errors if files could not be opened etc. PARAMETER SYNTAX <BOOL> is one of on|off|true|false|yes|no <TIMER> is a time value in seconds, including fractional seconds, e.g. 2.71828 or 3; resolution of timer is micro- seconds. SCRIPTS There are three classes of scripts can be configured to be executed. (a) Notify scripts that are run when a vrrp instance or vrrp group changes state, or a virtual server quorum changes between up and down. (b) vrrp tracking scripts that will cause vrrp instances to go down it they exit a non-zero exist status, or if a weight is specified will add or subtract the weight to/from the priority of that vrrp instance. (c) LVS checker misc scripts that will cause a real server to be con- figured down if they exit with a non-zero status. By default the scripts will be executed by user keepalived_script if that user exists, or if not by root, but for each script the user/group under which it is to be executed can be specified. There are significant security implications if scripts are executed with root privileges, especially if the scripts themselves are modifi- able or replaceable by a non root user. Consequently, security checks are made at startup to ensure that if a script is executed by root, then it cannot be modified or replaced by a non root user. All scripts should be written so that they will terminate on receipt of a SIGTERM signal. Scripts will be sent SIGTERM if their parent termi- nates, or it is a script that keepalived is awaiting its exit status and it has run for too long. Quoted strings Quoted strings are specified between " or ' characters and strings are delimited by whitespace. In the examples below the ' characters are not part of the strings and should not be specified: 'abcd" efg h jkl "mnop' will be the single string: 'abcd efg h jkl mnop' whereas: 'abcd "efg h jkl" mnop' will be the three strings: 'abcd', 'efg h jkl' and 'mnop' i.e. the " and ' characters are removed and any intervening whitespace is retained. Quoted strings can also have escaped characters, like the shell. \a, \b, \E, \f, \n, \r, \t, \v, \nnn and \xXX (where nnn is up to 3 octal digits, and XX is any sequence of hex digits) and \cC (which produces the control version of character C) are all supported. \C for any other character C is just treated as an escaped version of character C, so \\ is a \ character and \" will be a " character, but it won't start or terminate a quoted string. For specifying scripts with parameters, unquoted spaces will separate the parameters. If it is required for a parameter to contain a space, it should be enclosed in single quotes ('). CONFIGURATION PARSER Traditionally the configuration file parser has not been one of the strengths of keepalived. Lot of efforts have been put to correct this even if this is not the primal goal of the project. TOP HIERACHY Keepalived configuration file is articulated around a set of configura- tion blocks. Each block is focusing and targetting a specific daemon family feature. These features are: GLOBAL CONFIGURATION BFD CONFIGURATION VRRPD CONFIGURATION LVS CONFIGURATION GLOBAL CONFIGURATION contains subblocks of Global definitions, Linkbeat interfaces, Interface up/down transition delays, Static track groups, Static ad- dresses, Static routes, and Static rules Global definitions # Following are global daemon facilities for running # keepalived in a separate network namespace: # -- # Set the network namespace to run in. # The directory /run/keepalived will be created as an # unshared mount point, for example for pid files. # syslog entries will have _NAME appended to the ident. # Note: the namespace cannot be changed on a configuration reload. net_namespace NAME # Add the IPVS configuration in the specified net namespace. It allows to easily # split the VIP traffic on a given namespace and keep the healthchecks traffic # in another namespace. If NAME is not specified, then the default namespace # will be used. net_namespace_ipvs NAME # ipsets wasn't network namespace aware until Linux 3.13, and so # if running with an earlier version of the kernel, by default # use of ipsets is disabled if using a namespace and vrrp_ipsets # has not been specified. This options overrides the default and # allows ipsets to be used with a namespace on kernels prior to 3.13. namespace_with_ipsets # If multiple instances of keepalived are run in the same namespace, # this will create pid files with NAME as part of the file names, # in /run/keepalived. # Note: the instance name cannot be changed on a configuration reload instance NAME # Create pid files in /run/keepalived use_pid_dir # Poll to detect media link failure using ETHTOOL, MII or ioctl interface # otherwise uses netlink interface. linkbeat_use_polling # Time for main process to allow for child processes to exit on termination # in seconds. This can be needed for very large configurations. # (default: 5) child_wait_time SECS Note: All processes/scripts run by keepalived are run with parent death signal set to SIGTERM. All such processes/scripts should either not change the action for SIGTERM, or ensure that the process/script terminates once SIGTERM is received, possibly following any cleanup actions needed. # Global definitions configuration block global_defs { # In order to ensure that all processes read exactly the same configuration, # while the config is first read it is written, by default, to a memory based # file (or to an anonymous file in /tmp/ if memfd_create() is not supported). # If your configuration is very large, you may not want the copy to be # held in memory, in which case specifing the tmp_config_directory causes the # configuration to be written to an anonymous file on the filesystem on which # the specified directory resides, which must be writeable by keepalived. # This setting cannot be changed on a reload, and it should be specified as # early as possible in the configuration. tmp_config_directory DIRECTORY # config_save_dir causes keepalived to save configuration state and # configuration files before and after each reload. This is used for debugging # purposes if there appear to be problems related to repeated reloads. # The directory will be created if it does not exist, but all parent # directories must exist. config_save_dir DIRECTORY # Set the process names of the keepalived processes to the default values: # keepalived, keepalived_vrrp, keepalived_ipvs, keepalived_bfd process_names # Specify the individual process names process_name NAME vrrp_process_name NAME checker_process_name NAME bfd_process_name NAME # The startup and shutdown scripts are run once, when keepalived starts # before any child processes are run, and when keepalived stops after # all child processes have terminated, respectively. # The original motivation for adding this feature was that although # keepalived can setup IPVS configuration using firewall marks, there # was no mechanism for adding configuration to set the firewall marks # (or for removing it afterwards). # This feature can also be used to setup the iptables framework required # if using iptables (see vrrp_iptables option below), modify interface # settings, or anything else that can be done from a script or program. # Only one startup script and one shutdown script can be specified. # The timeouts (in seconds default 10 seconds) are the time allowed for # scripts to run; if the timeout expires the scripts will be killed (this # is to stop keepalived hanging waiting for the scripts to terminate). startup_script SCRIPT_NAME [username [groupname]] startup_script_timeout SECONDS # range [1,1000] shutdown_script SCRIPT_NAME [username [groupname]] shutdown_script_timeout SECONDS # range [1,1000] # Set of email To: notify notification_email { admin@example1.com ... } # email from address that will be in the header # (default: keepalived@<local host name>) notification_email_from admin@example.com # Remote SMTP server used to send notification email. # IP address or domain name with optional port number. # (default port number: 25) smtp_server 127.0.0.1 [<PORT>] # Name to use in HELO messages. # (default: local host name) smtp_helo_name <STRING> # SMTP server connection timeout in seconds. smtp_connect_timeout 30 # Sets default state for all smtp_alerts smtp_alert <BOOL> # Sets default state for vrrp smtp_alerts smtp_alert_vrrp <BOOL> # Sets default state for checker smtp_alerts smtp_alert_checker <BOOL> # Logs every failed real server check in syslog # (nevertheless, SMTP alert is only sent when all retry checks failed # and real server transitions to DOWN state) checker_log_all_failures <BOOL> # Don't send smtp alerts for fault conditions no_email_faults # String identifying the machine (doesn't have to be hostname). # (default: local host name) router_id <STRING> # Multicast Group to use for IPv4 VRRP adverts # Defaults to the RFC5798 IANA assigned VRRP multicast address 224.0.0.18 # which You typically do not want to change. vrrp_mcast_group4 224.0.0.18 # Multicast Group to use for IPv6 VRRP adverts # (default: ff02::12) vrrp_mcast_group6 ff02::12 # sets the default interface for static addresses. # (default: eth0) default_interface p33p1.3 # The sync daemon as provided by the IPVS kernel code only supports # one master and one backup daemon instance at a time to synchronize # the IPVS connection table. # See ipvsadm(8) man page for more details of the sync daemon. # Parameters are binding interface, and optional: # inst VRRP_INSTANCE (inst can be omitted for backward compatibility) # syncid (0 to 255) for lvs syncd, default is the VRID of vrrp instance, # or 0 if no vrrp instance # maxlen (1..65507) maximum packet length (limit is mtu - 20 - 8) # port (1..65535) UDP port number to use, default 8848 # ttl (1..255) # group - multicast group address(IPv4 or IPv6), default 224.0.0.81 # If VRRP_INSTANCE is not specified, both the master and backup sync daemons # will be run as long as keepalived is running, otherwise the sync daemon # master/backup state tracks the state of the specified vrrp instance: if # the vrrp instance is in master state, only the master sync daemon will run, # if the vrrp instance is not master, only the backup sync daemon will run. # NOTE: maxlen, port, ttl and group are only available on Linux 4.3 or later. # See kernel source doc/Documentation/networking/ipvs-sysctl.txt for details of # parameters controlling IPVS and the sync daemon. # /proc/net/ip_vs* provide some details about the state of IPVS. lvs_sync_daemon <INTERFACE> [[inst] <VRRP_INSTANCE>] [id <SYNC_ID>] \ [maxlen <LEN>] [port <PORT>] [ttl <TTL>] [group <IP ADDR>] # lvs_timeouts specifies the tcp, tcp_fin and udp connection tracking timeouts # in seconds.

Defaults to false, unless # strict_mode is set. vrrp_lower_prio_no_advert [<BOOL>] # If we are master and receive a higher priority advert, send an advert # (which will be lower priority than the other master), before we # transition to backup.

Similarly, if the iptables command is generating # nftables configuration, or there is no iptables command installed, # keepalived will use nftables rather than iptables. # If neither vrrp_nftables or vrrp_iptables are specified but VMACs are in use # or no_accept is specified, keepalived will use nftables if it is available. # Use nftables as the firewall. # TABLENAME must not exist, and must be different for each # instance of keepalived running in the same network namespace. # Default tablename is keepalived, and priority is -1. # keepalived will create base chains in the table. # counters means counters are added to the rules (primarily for # debugging purposes). # ifindex means create IPv6 link local sets using ifindex rather # than ifnames. This is the default unless the vrrp_instance has # set dont_track_primary.

The # chains used for keepalived should not be used for any other purpose, and # should have no rules configured, other than the rules that keepalived # manages. # A startup_script (see above) can be used to create the chains and to # add rules to call them. A shutdown_script can be used to remove the # iptables configuration added by the startup_script. # Note2: If using ipsets, the iptables VIP rules are appended to the end # of the specified chains; if not using ipsets, the VIP rules are inserted # at the beginning of the chains.

This is # particularly useful if there is a master keepalived and one or more backup keepalived # instances and the new configuration is incompatible with the previous configuration, # e.g. adding or removing VIPs which would cause adverts to be rejected. # All the instances can be scheduled to reload at the same time, thereby ensuring that # no mismatching adverts are received by the backup instances. # The configuration specifies a file which keepalived will monitor. The first line of # the file must contain a valid time or date/time exactly in the formats specified below. # When keepalived starts up, it reads the file if it exists, and schedules a reload at # the specified time. If the file does not exist, then when it is subsequently created # a reload will be scheduled. If the file is updated, the reload time will be modified # accordingly. If the file is deleted, the reload is cancelled. # Normally when the reload occurs the specified file is deleted, since the reload has # been done; if the file included a date then the reload will be in the past and so # ignored. However, if there is no date, then if the file were reread following the # reload, a reload would be scheduled for 24 hours time. In order to stop this, the # file is deleted (unlinked) by default. If reload_repeat is specified, then the # file is not deleted, and if the file contains a time only with no date, then # keepalived will keep reloading at that time every day until the file is removed or # modified. # If the directory containing the file does not exist at startup/reload, or if the # directory is removed or renamed, then no future scheduled reloads will occur until # a manual (SIGHUP) reload is done or keepalived restarts. # The permitted formats of the entry in the timer file are precisely: # HH:MM:SS # YY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS # YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS # each with an optional 'Z' at the end. # There must be no leading or trailing whitespace, and only one space between the date # and the time. # If there is a 'Z' at the end of the time, the time is parsed as UTC, otherwise the # time is the localtime for the environment in which keepalived is running. If the # systems which are being reloaded are in different timezones, it is probably safer to # use UTC. # If using local time with daylight savings, beware that some times don't exist and # some times are duplicated and hence ambiguous. reload_time_file ABSOLUTE-PATHNAME-OF-FILE reload_repeat # Some users frequently update their configurations and reload keepalived. reload_file # provides a mechanism that allows the configuration update processes not to update the # configuration files while keepalived is reading them. # The reload file will be created by keepalived before it starts reading configuration # files, unless the file exists. If the file already exists, it will be truncated. Once # keepalived has completed reading the files it will remove the reload file. # If reload_file with no file name is specified, the default filename keepalived.reload # in the PID directory will be used. # The best way to use the reload file is for the configuration update process to touch # the reload file before it signals keepalived to reload, and then wait for the file # to be deleted, which indicates that keepalived has finished reading the config files. # When keepalived starts reading the configuration files, since it truncates the reload # file, if update process creates the reload_file with non-zero size, it can detect # the reloading starting by the reload_file becoming zero length. reload_file [ABSOLUTE-PATHNAME-OF-FILE] # Sending SIGUSR1 to keepalived causes it to dump its data structures # for debugging purposes, although some users use this feature and # process the output.

This allows more granular control of global definition linkbeat_use_polling. This option is preferred over the deprecated use of linkbeat_use_polling in a vrrp_instance block, since the latter only allows using linkbeat on the interface of the vrrp_in- stance itself, whereas track_interface and vir- tual_ipaddresses and virtual_iproutes may require monitoring other in- terfaces, which may need to use linkbeat polling. The default polling type to use is MII, unless that isn't supported in which case ETHTOOL is used, and if that isn't supported then ioctl polling. The preferred type of polling to use can be specified with MII or ETHTOOL or IOCTL after the interface name, but if that type isn't supported, a supported type will be used. The syntax for linkbeat_interfaces is: linkbeat_interfaces { eth2 enp2s0 ETHTOOL } Static track groups Static track groups are used to allow vrrp instances to track static addresses, routes and rules. If a static address/route/rule specifies a track group, then if the address/route/rule is deleted and cannot be restored, the vrrp instance will transition to fault state. The syntax for a track group is: track_group GROUP1 { group { VI_1 VI_2 } } Static routes/addresses/rules Keepalived can configure static addresses, routes, and rules. These ad- dresses, routes and rules are NOT moved by vrrpd, they stay on the machine. If you already have IPs and routes on your ma- chines and your machines can ping each other, you don't need this sec- tion. The syntax for rules and routes is the same as for ip rule add/ip route add (except shortened option names are not supported due to ambiguities). The track_group specification refers to a named track_group which lists the vrrp instances which will track the ad- dress, i.e. if the address is deleted the vrrp instances will transi- tion to backup. NOTE: since rules without preferences can be added in different orders due to vrrp instances transitioning from master to backup etc, rules need to have a preference. If a preference is not specified, keepalived will assign one, but it will probably not be what you want. The syntax is the same for virtual addresses and virtual routes. If no dev element is specified, it defaults to default_interface (default eth0). Note: the broadcast address may be specified as '-' or '+' to clear or set the host bits of the address. If a route or rule could apply to either IPv4 or IPv6 it will default to IPv4. To force a route/rule to be IPv6, add the keyword "inet6". By default keepalived prepends routes (the kernel's default) which adds the route before any matching routes (this is the same behaviour as the (undocumented) as the 'ip route add' command, which only adds the route if there is no matching route. If 'append' is specified, the behaviour is the same as the 'ip route append' command, i.e. the route is added after any matching route. Note: the rules for whether a route matches differ between IPv4 and IPv6; for example specifying a different proto means a matching route can be prepended/appended for IPv4 but not for IPv6. If in doubt, test it using the 'ip route add/prepend/append' com- mands. static_ipaddress { <IPADDR>[/<MASK>] [brd <IPADDR>] [dev <STRING>] [scope <SCOPE>] [label <LABEL>] [peer <IPADDR>] [home] [-nodad] [mngtmpaddr] [noprefixroute] [autojoin] [track_group GROUP] [preferred_lft nn|forever] 192.168.1.1/24 dev eth0 scope global ... } static_routes { 192.168.2.0/24 via 192.168.1.100 dev eth0 track_group GROUP1 192.168.100.0/24 table 6909 nexthop via 192.168.101.1 dev wlan0 onlink weight 1 nexthop via 192.168.101.2 dev wlan0 onlink weight 2 192.168.200.0/24 dev p33p1.2 table 6909 tos 0x04 protocol bird scope link priority 12 mtu 1000 hoplimit 100 advmss 101 rtt 102 rttvar 103 reordering 104 window 105 cwnd 106 ssthresh lock 107 realms PQA/0x14 rto_min 108 initcwnd 109 initrwnd 110 vrf blue features ecn add 2001:470:69e9:1:2::4 dev p33p1.2 table 6909 tos 0x04 protocol bird scope link priority 12 mtu 1000 hoplimit 100 advmss 101 rtt 102 rttvar 103 reordering 104 window 105 cwnd 106 ssthresh lock 107 rto_min 108 initcwnd 109 append initrwnd 110 features ecn fastopen_no_cookie 1 ... } static_rules { from 192.168.2.0/24 table 1 track_group GROUP1 to 192.168.2.0/24 table 1 from 192.168.28.0/24 to 192.168.29.0/26 table small iif p33p1 oif wlan0 tos 22 fwmark 24/12 preference 39 realms 30/20 goto 40 to 1:2:3:4:5:6:7:0/112 from 7:6:5:4:3:2::/96 table 6908 uidrange 10000-19999 to 1:2:3:4:6:6:7:0/112 from 8:6:5:4:3:2::/96 l3mdev protocol 12 ip_proto UDP sport 10-20 dport 20-30 ... } Track files Adds a file to be monitored. The file will be read whenever it is modi- fied. The value in the file will be recorded for all VRRP instances, sync groups and real servers which monitor it. Note that the file will only be read if at least one VRRP instance, sync group or real server monitors it. A value will be read as a number in text from the file. If the weight configured against the track_file is 0, a non-zero value in the file will be treated as a failure status, and a zero value will be treated as an OK status, otherwise the value will be multiplied by the weight configured in the track_file statement. For VRRP instances, if the result is less than -253 anything monitoring the script will transition to the fault state (the weight can be 254 to allow for a negative value being read from the file). If the vrrp instance or sync group is not the address owner and the re- sult is between -253 and 253, the result will be added to the initial priority of the VRRP instance (a negative value will reduce the prior- ity), although the effective priority will be limited to the range [1,254]. Likewise for real servers. If a vrrp instance using a track_file is a member of a sync group, un- less sync_group_tracking_weight is set on the group weight 0 must be set. Likewise, if the vrrp instance is the address owner, weight 0 must also be set. For real servers monitoring the file, the limits of values read from the track file are 2147483648 to -2147483648. The value, once multi- plied by the weight, will be added to the real server's IPVS weight. If the result is <= than 2147483648 then the checker will be in the FAULT state. NOTE: weights for track_file for real servers are not fully implemented yet. In particular allowing weight 0, handling negative calculated val- ues and reloading. The syntax for track file is: track_file <STRING> { # vrrp_track_file is a deprecated synonym # file to track (weight defaults to 1) file <QUOTED_STRING> # optional default weight weight <-2147483647..2147483647> [reverse] # create the file and/or initialise the value # This causes VALUE (default 0) to be written to # the specified file at startup if the file doesn't # exist, unless overwrite is specified in which case # any existing file contents will be overwritten with # the specified value. init_file [VALUE] [overwrite] } VRRP track processes The configuration block looks like: vrrp_track_process <STRING> { # process to monitor (with optional parameters) # A quoted string is treated as a single element, so if the first item # after the process keyword is quoted, that will be the command name. # For example: # process "/tmp/a b" param1 "param 2" # would mean a process named '/tmp/a b' (quotes removed) with 2 parameters # 'param1' and 'param 2'. process <STRING>|<QUOTED_STRING> [<STRING>|<QUOTED_STRING> ...] # If matching parameters, this specifies a partial match (i.e. the first # n parameters match exactly), or an initial match, i.e. the last # parameter may be longer that the parameter configured. # To specify that a command must have no parameters, don't specify # any parameters, but specify param_match. param_match {initial|partial} # default weight (default is 1). For description of reverse, see track_process. # 'weight 0 reverse' will cause the vrrp instance to be down when the # quorum is up, and vice versa. weight <-254..254> [reverse] # minimum number of processes for success quorum NUM # maximum number of processes for success. For example, setting # this to 1 would cause a failure if two instances of the process # were running (but beware forks - see fork_delay below). # Setting this to 0 would mean failure if the matching process were # running at all. quorum_max NUM # time to delay after process quorum gained after fork before # consider process up (in fractions of second) # This is to avoid up/down bounce for fork/exec fork_delay SECS # time to delay after process quorum lost before # consider process down (in fractions of second) # This is to avoid down/up bounce after terminate/parent refork. terminate_delay SECS # this sets fork_delay and terminate_delay delay SECS # Normally process string is matched against the process name, # as shown on the Name: line in /proc/PID/status, unless # parameters are specified. # This option forces matching the full command line full_command } To avoid having to frequently run a track_script to monitor the exis- tance of processes (often haproxy or nginx), vrrp_track_process can monitor whether other processes are running. One difference from pgrep is track_process doesn't do a regular expres- sion match of the command string, but does an exact match. 'pgrep ssh' will match an sshd process, this track_process will not (it is equiva- lent to pgrep "^ssh$"). If full_command is used (equivalent to pgrep -f), /proc/PID/cmdline is used, but any updates to cmdline will not be detected (a process shouldn't normally change it, although it is possible with great care, for example systemd). Prior to Linux v3.2 track_process will not support detection of changes to a process name, since the kernel did not notify changes of process name prior to 3.2. Most processes do not change their process name, but, for example, firefox forks processes that change their process name to "Web Content". The process name referred to here is the con- tents of /proc/PID/comm. Quorum is the number of matching processes that must be run for an OK status. Delay might be useful if it anticipated that a process may be reloaded (stopped and restarted), and it isn't desired to down and up a vrrp in- stance. A positive weight means that an OK status will add <weight> to the priority of all VRRP instances which monitor it. On the opposite, a negative weight will be subtracted from the initial priority in case of insufficient processes. If the vrrp instance or sync group is not the address owner and the re- sult is between -253 and 253, the result will be added to the initial priority of the VRRP instance (a negative value will reduce the prior- ity), although the effective priority will be limited to the range [1,254]. If a vrrp instance using a track_process is a member of a sync group, unless sync_group_tracking_weight is set on the group weight 0 must be set. Likewise, if the vrrp instance is the address owner, weight 0 must also be set. Rational for not using pgrep/pidof/killall and the likes: Every time pgrep or its equivalent is run, it iterates though the /proc/[1-9][0-9]* directories, and opens the status and cmdline pseudo files in each directory. The cmdline pseudo file is mapped to the process's address space, and so if that part of the process is swapped out, it will have to be fetched from the swap space. pgrep etc also include zombie processes whereas keepalived does not, since they aren't running. This implementation only iterates though /proc/[1-9][0-9]*/ directories at start up, and it won't even read the cmdline pseudo files if 'full_command' is not specified for any of the vrrp_track_process en- tries. After startup, it uses the process_events kernel <-> userspace connector to receive notification of process changes. If full_command is specified for any track_process instance, the cmdline pseudo file will have to be read upon notification of the creation of the new process, but at that time it is very unlikely that it will have already been swapped out. On a busy system with a high number of process creations/terminations, using a track_script with pgrep/pidof/killall may be more efficient, although those processes are inefficient compared to the minimum that keepalived needs. Using pgrep etc on a system that is swapping can have a significant detrimental impact on the performance of the system, due to having to fetch swapped memory from the swap space, thereby causing additional swapping. BFD CONFIGURATION This is an implementation of RFC5880 (Bidirectional forwarding detec- tion), and this can be configured to work between 2 keepalived in- stances, but using unweighted track_bfds between a master/backup pair of VRRP instances means that the VRRP instance will only be able to come up if both VRRP instance are running, which somewhat defeats the purpose of VRRP. This implementation has been tested with OpenBFDD (available at https://github.com/dyninc/OpenBFDD). The syntax for bfd instance is : bfd_instance <STRING> { # BFD Neighbor IP (synonym neighbour_ip) neighbor_ip <IP ADDRESS> # Source IP to use (optional, except in order to ensure that the # local port is valid, it is required) source_ip <IP ADDRESS> # Required min RX interval, in ms (resolution is micro-seconds e.g. 3.312) # (default is 10 ms) min_rx <DECIMAL> # Desired min TX interval, in ms (resolution is micro-seconds) # (default is 10 ms) min_tx <DECIMAL> # Desired idle TX interval, in ms (resolution is micro-seconds) # (default is 1000 ms) idle_tx <DECIMAL> # Number of missed packets after # which the session is declared down # (default is 5) multiplier <INTEGER> # Operate in passive mode (default is active) passive # outgoing IPv4 ttl to use (default 255) ttl <INTEGER> # outgoing IPv6 hoplimit to use (default 64) hoplimit <INTEGER> # maximum reduction of ttl/hoplimit # in received packet (default 0) # (255 disables hop count checking) max_hops <INTEGER> # Default tracking weight # Normally, positive weights are added to the vrrp instance priority when # the bfd instance is up, negative weights reduce the priority when it is down. # However, if reverse is specified, the priority is decreased when up and # increased when down.

Its exit code will be recorded for all VRRP instances which moni- tor it. Note that the script will only be executed if at least one VRRP instance monitors it. The default weight equals 0, which means that any VRRP instance moni- toring the script will transition to the fault state after <fall> consecutive failures of the script. After that, <rise> consecu- tive successes will cause VRRP instances to leave the fault state, un- less they are also in the fault state due to other scripts or inter- faces that they are tracking. A positive weight means that <rise> successes will add <weight> to the priority of all VRRP instances which monitor it. On the opposite, a negative weight will be subtracted from the initial priority in case of <fall> failures. The syntax for the vrrp script is: # Adds a script to be executed periodically. Its exit code will be # recorded for all VRRP instances and sync groups which are monitoring it. vrrp_script <SCRIPT_NAME> { # path of the script to execute script <STRING>|<QUOTED-STRING> # seconds between script invocations, (default: 1 second) interval <INTEGER> # seconds after which script is considered to have failed timeout <INTEGER> # adjust priority by this weight, (default: 0) # For description of reverse, see track_script. # 'weight 0 reverse' will cause the vrrp instance to be down when the # script is up, and vice versa. weight <INTEGER:-253..253> [reverse] # required number of successes for OK transition rise <INTEGER> # required number of successes for KO transition fall <INTEGER> # user/group names to run script under. # group default to group of user user USERNAME [GROUPNAME] # assume script initially is in failed state init_fail } VRRP synchronization group(s) VRRP Sync Group is an extension to VRRP protocol. The main goal is to define a bundle of VRRP instance to get synchronized together so that transition of one instance will be reflected to others group members. In addition there is an enhanced notify feature for fine state transi- tion catching. You can also define multiple track policy in order to force state tran- sition according to a third party event such as interface, scripts, file, BFD. Important: for a SYNC group to run reliably, it is vi- tal that all instances in the group are MASTER or that they are all ei- ther BACKUP or FAULT. A situation with half instances having higher priority on machine A half others with higher priority on machine B will lead to constant re-elections. For this reason, when instances are grouped, any track scripts/files configured against member VRRP in- stances will have their tracking weights automatically set to zero, in order to avoid inconsistent priorities across instances. The syntax for vrrp_sync_group is : vrrp_sync_group <STRING> { group { # name of the vrrp_instance (see below) # Set of VRRP_Instance string <STRING> <STRING> ... } # Synchronization group tracking interface, script, file & bfd will # update the status/priority of all VRRP instances which are members # of the sync group. # 'weight 0 reverse' will cause the vrrp instance to be down when the # interface is up, and vice versa. track_interface { eth0 eth1 eth2 weight <-253..253> [reverse] ... } # add a tracking script to the sync group (<SCRIPT_NAME> is the name # of the vrrp_script entry) go to FAULT state if any of these go down # if unweighted. # reverse causes the direction of the adjustment of the priority to be reversed. track_script { <SCRIPT_NAME> <SCRIPT_NAME> weight <-253..253> [reverse|noreverse] } # Files whose state we monitor, value is added to effective priority. # <STRING> is the name of a track_file # weight defaults to weight configured in track_file track_file { <STRING> <STRING> weight <-254..254> [reverse|noreverse] ... } # Process to monitor, weight is added to effective priority. # <STRING> is the name of a vrrp_track_process # weight defaults to weight configured in vrrp_track_process. # See vrrp_instance track_process for description of weight. track_process { <STRING> <STRING> weight <-254..254> [reverse|noreverse] ... } # BFD instances we monitor, value is added to effective priority. # <STRING> is the name of a BFD instance track_bfd { <STRING> <STRING> <STRING> weight <INTEGER: -253..253> [reverse|noreverse] ... } # notify scripts and alerts are optional # # filenames of scripts to run on transitions can be unquoted (if # just filename) or quoted (if it has parameters) # The username and groupname specify the user and group # under which the scripts should be run.

Use track_interface, track_script and # track_file on vrrp_sync_groups instead. global_tracking # allow sync groups to use differing weights. # This probably WON'T WORK, but is a replacement for # global_tracking in case different weights were used # across different vrrp instances in the same sync group. sync_group_tracking_weight } VRRP gratuitous ARP and unsolicited neighbour advert delay group(s) specifies the setting of delays between sending gratuitous ARPs and un- solicited neighbour advertisements. This is intended for when an up- stream switch is unable to handle being flooded with ARPs/NAs. Use interface when the limits apply on the single physical interface. Use interfaces when a group of interfaces are linked to the same switch and the limits apply to the switch as a whole. Note: Only one of interface or interfaces should be used per block. If the global vrrp_garp_interval and/or vrrp_gna_interval are set, any interfaces that aren't specified in a garp_group will inherit the global settings. The syntax for garp_group is : garp_group { # Sets the interval between Gratuitous ARP (in seconds, resolution microseconds) garp_interval <DECIMAL> # Sets the default interval between unsolicited NA (in seconds, resolution microseconds) gna_interval <DECIMAL> # The physical interface to which the intervals apply interface <STRING> # A list of interfaces across which the delays are aggregated. interfaces { <STRING> <STRING> ... } } VRRP instance(s) A VRRP Instance is the VRRP protocol key feature. It defines and con- figures VRRP behaviour to run on a specific interface. Each VRRP In- stance is related to a unique interface. The syntax for vrrp_instance is : vrrp_instance <STRING> { # Initial state, MASTER|BACKUP # If the priority is 255, then the instance will transition immediately # to MASTER if state MASTER is specified; otherwise the instance will # wait between 3 and 4 advert intervals before it can transition, # depending on the priority. state MASTER # interface for inside_network, bound by vrrp. # Note: if using unicasting, the interface can be omitted as long # as the unicast addresses are not IPv6 link local addresses (this is # necessary, for example, if using asymmetric routing). # If the interface is omitted, then all VIPs and eVIPs should specify # the interface they are to be configured on, otherwise they will be # added to the default interface. interface eth0 # If using unicasting without specifying an interface, the VRF to operate # in can be specified. vrf VRF_IF # Use VRRP Virtual MAC (macvlan). # The macvlan will be created on the configured interface for # the VRRP instance, and the VIPs, and eVIPs of the matching address # family, which do not specify a different interface will be configured # on the macvlan. # The VRRP adverts will also be sent and received on the macvlan # interface, unless vmac_xmit_base is configured. # NOTE: If sysctl net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter is set, # and this vrrp_instance is an IPv4 instance, using # this option will cause the individual interfaces to be # updated to the greater of their current setting, and # all.rp_filter, as will default.rp_filter, and all.rp_filter # will be set to 0. # The original settings are restored on termination. # NOTE 2: If using use_vmac with unicast peers, # vmac_xmit_base must be set. # The MAC address can be specified with only 5 octets, in which case # the virtual_router_id will be used as the last octet. use_vmac [<VMAC_INTERFACE_NAME>] [MAC_ADDRESS] # use_vmac_addr is used to create VMAC (macvlan) interfaces for # each interface that is used by a VIP or eVIP where the interface # is not the same as the interface on which the VRRP instance is # configured or the eVIP's address family does not match the VRRP # instance's. Alternatively, use_vmac can be specified against each # VIP/eVIP that specifies an interface (dev). # NOTE: if use_vmac is specfied and an eVIP is not the same address # family as the vrrp instance, unless use_vmac_addr is specified, or # use_vmac is specified for the eVIP, the eVIP will be configured on # the vrrp instance's VMAC, which will have the wrong MAC address for # the address family of the eVIP. use_vmac_addr # Send/Recv VRRP messages from base interface instead of # VMAC interface vmac_xmit_base # Use IPVLAN interface. keepalived will create a mode L2 # ipvlan interface on top of the specified interface. # For IPv4 instances, an IP address is required, for IPv6 # the address is optional, in which case the link local # address will be used. # The mode flags default to bridge. NOTE: the mode flags must be the # same for all ipvlans on the same underlying interface. # It is safer to configure an interface name, in case keepalived crashes # and restarts, in which case it can more reliably find a previously # created interface. use_ipvlan [<INTERFACE_NAME>] [IP_ADDRESS] [bridge|private|vepa] # force instance to use IPv6 (this option is deprecated since # the virtual ip addresses determine whether IPv4 or IPv6 is used). native_ipv6 # Ignore VRRP interface faults (default unset). # Note: when using IPv6, setting the interface administratively down, e.g. # 'ip link set IF down' will by default cause all IPv6 addresses to be # deleted from the interface, and consequently the VRRP instance will # go to fault state due to the addresses being deleted.

This can cause problems if interfaces are bouncing, and so delays can be specified between the interface state change and the transition to FAULT/BACKUP state. If the interface returns to its original state before the delay expires, no associated VRRP instance state transition will occur. interface_up_down_delays { ifname down_delay [up_delay] ifname2 down_delay [up_delay] ... } The delays are specified in seconds, with a resolution of microseconds, e.g. a delay of 0.00001 means 10 usecs. A delay of 0 means no delay in state change. The maximum delay that can be specified is 255 seconds. If up_delay is omitted, it is set to be the same as the down delay. The delay on an interface must be less than two (or more precisely one less than down_timer_adverts (default 3)) times the advert interval of any VRRP instance using that interface (otherwise a backup instance, while not receiving adverts may time out and become master before this instance transitions to FAULT state). Consequently the up/down delays can be dynamically reduced if another instance is master with a shorter advert interval. If the VRRP instance is using a VMAC, it will inherit the up/down debounce delays of its parent interface. LVS CONFIGURATION contains subblocks of Virtual server group(s) and Virtual server(s) The subblocks contain arguments for configuring Linux IPVS (LVS) fea- ture. Knowledge of ipvsadm(8) will be helpful here. Configuring LVS is achieved by defining virtual server groups, virtual servers and option- ally SSL configuration. Every virtual server defines a set of real servers, you can attach healthcheckers to each real server. Keepalived will then lead LVS operation by dynamically maintaining topology. For details of what configuration combinations are valid, see the ipvsadm(8) man page. Note: Where an option can be configured for a virtual server, real server, and possibly checker, the virtual server setting is the default for real servers, and the real server setting is the de- fault for checkers. Note: Tunnelled real/sorry servers can differ from the address family of the virtual server and non tunnelled real/sorry servers, which all have to be the same. If a virtual server uses a fw- mark, and all the real/sorry servers are tunnelled, the address family of the virtual server will be the same as the address family of the real/sorry servers if they are all the same, otherwise it will default to IPv4 (use ip_family inet6 to override this). Note: The port for the virtual server can only be omitted if the virtual service is persistent. Virtual server group(s) This feature offers a way to simplify your configuration by factorizing virtual server definitions. If you need to define a bunch of virtual servers with exactly the same real server topology then this feature will make your configuration much more readable, optimize the duplica- tion of IPVS virtual servers if nftables_ipvs is used, and will optimize healthchecking task by only spawning one healthchecker where multiple virtual servers declaration would spawn a dedicated healthchecker for every real server which will waste system resources. Any combination of IP addresses, IP address ranges and firewall marks can be used, provided that the family of the IP addresses of the vir- tual server group match the IP address family of all the real servers of any virtual server using the virtual server group. The one exception to this is that the virtual server group can be configured with both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and fwmarks provided that all the real servers (and sorry servers) of all virtual servers using the virtual server group use tunnel forwarding; if fwmarks are specified in this case, the address family must be specified (the one exception to this is if the virtual server group has no IP addresses (i.e. fwmarks only) and all the real/sorry servers are tunnelled, it will default to IPv4; it is not good practice to rely on this and the address families of the fw- marks should be configured). Use of this option is intended for very large LVSs, but note, this can create a huge number of virtual servers unless nftables_ipvs is used. The use of nfta- bles_ipvs is stringly recommended due to the very significant optimisations and efficiencies it provides. NOTE: do not configure more than one TCP, one UDP and one SCTP virtual server with the same IP address family using the same virtual server group (or to put it another way do not have two virtual servers with the same protocol and address family using the same virtual server group); if all the real servers are tunnelled, then you must not have both IPv4 and IPv6 virtual servers with the same protocol.

These features are very useful for any scripted environment where configura- tion templates are generated (datacenters). Conditional configuration and configuration id The config-id defaults to the first part of the node name as returned by uname, and can be overridden with the -i or --config-id command line option. Any configuration line starting with '@' is a conditional configuration line. The word immediately following (i.e. without any space) the '@' character is compared against the config-id, and if they don't match, the configuration line is ignored. Alternatively, '@^' is a negative comparison, so if the word immedi- ately following does NOT match the config-id, the configuration line IS included. The purpose of this is to allow a single configuration file to be used for multiple systems, where the only differences are likely to be the router_id, vrrp instance priorities, and possibly interface names and unicast addresses. For example: global_defs { @main router_id main_router @backup router_id backup_router } ... vrrp_instance VRRP { ... @main unicast_src_ip 1.2.3.4 @backup unicast_src_ip 1.2.3.5 @backup2 unicast_src_ip 1.2.3.6 unicast_peer { @^main 1.2.3.4 @^backup 1.2.3.5 @^backup2 1.2.3.6 } ... } If keepalived is invoked with -i main, then the router_id will be set to main_router, if invoked with -i backup, then backup_router, if not invoked with -i, or with -i anything else, then the router_id will not be set. The unicast peers for main will be 1.2.3.5 and 1.2.3.6. Parameter substitution Substitutable parameters can be specified. The format for defining a parameter is: $PARAMETER=VALUE where there must be no space before the '=' and only whitespace may preceed to '$'. Empty values are allowed. Parameter names can be made up of any combination of A-Za-z0-9 and _, but cannot start with a digit. Parameter names starting with an under- score should be considered reserved names that keepalived will define for various pre-defined options. After a parameter is defined, any occurrence of $PARAMETER followed by whitespace, or any occurrence of ${PARAMETER} (which need not be fol- lowed by whitespace) will be replaced by VALUE. Replacement is recursive, so that if a parameter value itself includes a replaceable parameter, then after the first substitution, the parame- ter in the value will then be replaced; the substitution is done at re- placement time and not at definition time, so for example: $ADDRESS_BASE=10.2.${ADDRESS_BASE_SUB} $ADDRESS_BASE_SUB=0 ${ADDRESS_BASE}.100/32 $ADDRESS_BASE_SUB=10 ${ADDRESS_BASE}.100/32 will produce: 10.2.0.100/32 10.2.10.100/32 Note in the above examples the use of both ADDRESS_BASE and AD- DRESS_BASE_SUB required braces ({}) since the parameters were not fol- lowed by whitespace (after the first substitution which produced 10.2.${ADDRESS_BASE_SUB}.100/32 the parameter is still not followed by whitespace). If a parameter is not defined, it will not be replaced at all, so for example ${UNDEF_PARAMETER} will remain in the configuration if it is undefined; this means that existing configuration that contains a '$' character (for example in a script definition) will not be changed so long as no new parameter definitions are added to the configuration. Parameter substitution works in conjunction with conditional configura- tion. For example: @main $PRIORITY=240 @backup $PRIORITY=200 ... vrrp_instance VI_0 { priority $PRIORITY } will produce: ... vrrp_instance VI_0 { priority 240 } if the config_id is main. $IF_MAIN=@main $IF_MAIN priority 240 will produce: priority 240 if the config_id is main and nothing if the config_id is not main, although why anyone would want to use this rather than simply the following is not known (but still possible): @main priority 240 Multiline definitions are also supported, but when used there must be nothing on the line after the parameter name. A multiline definition is specified by ending each line except the last with a '\' character. Example: $INSTANCE= \ vrrp_instance VI_${NUM} { \ interface eth0.${NUM} \ use_vmac vrrp${NUM}.1 \ virtual_router_id 1 \ @high priority 130 \ @low priority 120 \ advert_int 1 \ virtual_ipaddress { \ 10.0.${NUM}.254/24 \ } \ track_script { \ offset_instance_${NUM} \ } \ } $NUM=0 $INSTANCE $NUM=1 $INSTANCE The use of multiline definitions can be nested. Example: $RS= \ real_server 192.168.${VS_NUM}.${RS_NUM} 80 { \ weight 1 \ inhibit_on_failure \ smtp_alert \ MISC_CHECK { \ misc_path "${_PWD}/scripts/vs.sh RS_misc.${INST}.${VS_NUM}.${RS_NUM}.0 10.0.${VS_NUM}.4:80->192.168.${VS_NUM}.${RS_NUM}:80" \ } \ MISC_CHECK { \ misc_path "${_PWD}/scripts/vs.sh RS_misc.${INST}.${VS_NUM}.${RS_NUM}.1 10.0.${VS_NUM}.4:80->192.168.${VS_NUM}.${RS_NUM}:80" \ } \ notify_up "${_PWD}/scripts/notify.sh RS_notify.${INST}.${VS_NUM}.${RS_NUM} UP 10.0.${VS_NUM}.4:80->192.168.${VS_NUM}.${RS_NUM}:80" \ notify_down "${_PWD}/scripts/notify.sh RS_notify.${INST}.${VS_NUM}.${RS_NUM} DOWN 10.0.${VS_NUM}.4:80->192.168.${VS_NUM}.${RS_NUM}:80" \ } $VS= \ virtual_server 10.0.${VS_NUM}.4 80 { \ quorum 2 \ quorum_up "${_PWD}/scripts/notify.sh VS_notify.${INST} UP 10.0.${VS_NUM}.4:80" \ quorum_down "${_PWD}/scripts/notify.sh VS_notify.${INST} DOWN 10.0.${VS_NUM}.4:80" \ $RS_NUM=1 \ $RS \ $RS_NUM=2 \ $RS \ $RS_NUM=3 \ $RS \ } $VS_NUM=0 $ALPHA=alpha $VS $VS_NUM=1 $ALPHA= $VS The above will create 2 virtual servers, each with 3 real servers Pre-defined definitions The following definitions are pre-defined: ${_PWD} : The directory of the current configuration file (this can be changed if using the include directive). ${_INSTANCE} : The instance name (as defined by the -i option, defaults to hostname). ${_RANDOM [MIN [MAX]]} : This is replaced by a random integer in the range [MIN, MAX], where MIN and MAX are optional non- negative integers. Defaults are MIN=0 and MAX=32767. ${_HASH} : This is replaced by a '#' character, which would otherwise start a comment ${_BANG} : This is replaced by a '!' character, which would otherwise start a comment Additional pre-defined definitions will be added as their need is iden- tified. It will normally be quite straightforward to add additional pre-defined definitions, so if you need one, or have a good idea for one, then raise an issue at https://github.com/acassen/keepalived/is- sues requesting it. Sequence blocks A line starting ~SEQ(var, start, step, end) will cause the remainder of the line to be processed multiple times, with the variable $var set initially to start, and then $var will be incremented by step repeatedly, terminating when it is greater than end. step may be omitted, in which case it defaults to 1 or -1, depending on whether end is greater or less than start. start may also be omitted, in which case it defaults to 1 if end > 0 or -1 if end < 0. ~SEQx(...) is the same as ~SEQ(...), except the variable $var will for formatted in hexadecimal, which would be useful for IPv6 addresses. Note: At the moment it is necessary to use different variables for the ~SEQ block from any previously defined variable, including one used as the variable in a previous ~SEQ block. This may change in the future, so do not rely on a ~SEQ block variable being defined after the end of the block. Examples: ~SEQ(SUBNET, 0, 3) ip_address 10.0.${SUBNET}.1 would produce: ip_address 10.0.0.1 ip_address 10.0.1.1 ip_address 10.0.2.1 ip_address 10.0.3.1 and ~SEQx(SUBNET, 144, 16, 192) ip_address fe80::20:${SUBNET}:1 or better ~SEQx(SUBNET, 0x90, 0x10, 0xc0) ip_address fe80::20:${SUBNET}:1 would produce: ip_address fe80::20:90:1 ip_address fe80::20:a0:1 ip_address fe80::20:b0:1 ip_address fe80::20:c0:1 Another example: virtual_ipaddress { ~SEQx(AD2, 0x90, 0x10, 0xc0) ~SEQx(AD1, 0x12, -1, 0x0c) fe81::10:${AD2}:${AD1} } There can be multiple ~SEQ elements on a line, so for example: $VI4= \ track_file offset_instance_4.${IF}.${NUM}.${ID} { \ file "${_PWD}/679/track_files/4.${IF}.${NUM}.${ID}" \ weight -100 \ } \ vrrp_instance vrrp4.${IF}.${NUM}.${ID} { \ interface bond${IF}.${NUM} \ use_vmac vrrp4.${IF}.${NUM}.${ID} \ virtual_router_id ${ID} \ priority 130 \ virtual_ipaddress { \ 10.${IF}.${NUM}.${ID}/24 \ } \ track_file { \ offset_instance_4.${IF}.${NUM}.${ID} \ } \ } ~SEQ(IF,0,7) ~SEQ(NUM,0,31) ~SEQ(ID,1,254) $VI4 will produce 65024 vrrp instances with names from vrrp4.0.0.1 through to vrrp4.7.31.254. List blocks List blocks are similar to sequence blocks, except that the values to substitute into the variable are listed in the ~LST specification. A line starting ~LST(var, val1, val2, val3) will cause the remainder of the line to be processed multiple times, with the variable $var set initially to val1, and then val2, and finally val3. Any number of values can be specified, as long as at least one value is (although only one value would be pointless). If it is desired to substitute more than one variable at a time, the variables and values need to be enclosed in {...} blocks. For example: ~LST({IP, IP1}, {10,1},{20,4},{5,6},{12,8}) 192.168.${IP}.${IP1} would first set IP=10 and IP1=1, then IP=20 and IP1=4, etc, and pro- duces: 192.168.10.1 192.168.20.4 192.168.5.6 192.168.12.8 List blocks can be nested, so: ~LST(IP, 1, 2, 3, 4) ~LST(IP1, 5,6,7) 192.169.${IP}.${IP1} produces: 192.169.1.5 192.169.1.6 192.169.1.7 192.169.2.5 192.169.2.6 192.169.2.7 192.169.3.5 192.169.3.6 192.169.3.7 192.169.4.5 192.169.4.6 192.169.4.7 Finally, list blocks and sequence blocks can be combined, so: ~LST({IP, IP1}, {10,1},{20,4},{5,6},{12,8}) ~SEQ(IP2,168,2,172) 192.${IP2}.${IP}.${IP1} produces: 192.168.10.1 192.170.10.1 192.172.10.1 192.168.20.4 192.170.20.4 192.172.20.4 192.168.5.6 192.170.5.6 192.172.5.6 192.168.12.8 192.170.12.8 192.172.12.8 KERNEL SETTINGS It has been identified that if proxy_arp and proxy_arp_pvlan are enabled on an interface that has VIPs or eVIPs configured on it, it can cause incorrect replies to ARP requests due to the proxy replying to the ARP request as well as the keepalived host. Both need to be set to 0 to function properly. AUTHORS Initial by Joseph Mack. Extensive updates by Alexandre Cassen & Quentin Armitage. SEE ALSO ipvsadm(8), ip --help.

Создадим скрипт /opt/multifactor-ldap.check.sh, он должен вернуть код ответа 0, если сервис MultiFactor Ldap Adapter работает нормально.
#!/bin/bash
systemctl is-active multifactor-ldap > /dev/null 2>&1
Дадим права на него пользователю mfa:
chown mfa: /opt/multifactor-ldap.check.sh
chmod 700 /opt/multifactor-ldap.check.sh
Запуск кластера
На мастере:
systemctl enable keepalived
systemctl start keepalived
systemctl status keepalived
ip a
Мы увидели второй виртуальный IP адрес 10.12.49.155.
На бэкапе:
systemctl enable keepalived
systemctl start keepalived
systemctl status keepalived
ip a
Проверяем на бэкапе работу VRRP:
Ловим VRRP пакеты с помощью tcpdump
tcpdump -i ens160 vrrp
Для проверки остановим на мастере службу multifactor-ldap.
systemctl stop multifactor-ldap
И виртуальный IP переехал на вторую ноду.
Ещё полезно
Всё что хотел, я настроил. Еще можно посмотреть в сторону настройки действий при смене состояния, например, логирование.
В блоке vrrp_instance:
vrrp_instance web {
...
notify /etc/keepalived/log.sh root
}
Содержимое /etc/keepalived/log.sh:
#!/bin/bash

- $0 — путь до скрипта, который запускает (/etc/keepalived/log.sh)
- $1 — тип vrrp. Может быть GROUP или INSTANCE
- $2 — имя инстанса или группы
- $3 — состояние. Могут быть MASTER, BACKUP, FAULT, * (любое)
- $4 — приоритет ноды, который указан в конфигурационном файле keepalived
- $@ — все вышеперечисленные параметры через пробел
В SELinux для запуска на выполнение скриптов файлу должен быть присвоен контекст безопасности keepalived_unconfined_script_exec_t.
semanage fcontext -a -t keepalived_unconfined_script_exec_t /etc/keepalived/log.sh
#для отмены
#restorecon -R -v /etc/keepalived/log.sh
