check_keepalived

check_keepalived

Uses D-Bus to check the state of a local keepalived process. The keepalived must be configured to have D-Bus enabled:

global_defs {
  enable_dbus
}

Options

--address, -a

D-Bus address to scan for VRRP instances. Defaults to org.keepalived.Vrrp1.

Examples

Check default local keepalived with two VRRP instances:

check_dhcpv6 --interface eno1

--debug

Turn on debug logging.

[!NOTE] Do not enable this when running actual checks.

Example

$ check_keepalived --address org.keepalived.Vrrp2 --debug
