Common Properties

All service resources share common properties and behaviours.

Tagging

A resource can be tagged using the keyword tags. The value is a whitespace-separated list of tags. Tag names can be user-defined or hardcoded in the agent.

Custom Tags

Custom tags ease service management on complex configurations, as they can be used in services and resources selector expressions.

Examples:

Resource Tags
app#db database base
app#tomcat1 appsrv base
app#tomcat2 appsrv
app#tomcat3 appsrv
app#nginx1 websrv base
app#nginx2 websrv
# stop resources tagged 'websrv'
$ om <svcname> --tag websrv stop

# stop resources tagged 'websrv' or 'appsrv'
$ om <svcname> --tag websrv,appsrv stop

# stop resources tagged 'websrv' and 'base'
$ om <svcname> --tag websrv+base stop

Special Tags

Some tag names are reserved and have a particular meaning.

noaction

This tag keep the agent from executing state-changing actions on the resource.

The agent is still running the resource status evaluations.

For example, the resource mapping the ip address activated at vm boot by the operating system must be tagged noaction.

encap

This tag assigns the resource to the encapsulated/slave service. The agent on the master-part of the service does not handle such a resource.

svcmgr print status highlights such resources with the E flag.

$ om testzone print status
testzone                           up

Encapsulation

nostatus

This tag prevents the resource status evaluation. The resource status is set to n/a.

dedicated

This tag is by the ip.docker driver only. If set, the physical network interface card is moved to the container network namespace. This NIC is thus reserved, and should not be used by other resources and services.

Scoping

Like any other resource parameter, tags can be scoped.

[ip#1]
type = crossbow
ipname = 128.0.1.2
ipdev = lo0
ipdevext = {svcname}1
netmask = 32
tags = encap
tags@sol1.opensvc.com = encap noaction

Disabled

A resource can be marked as disabled using the disable keyword.

[container#1]
type = docker
image = ubuntu:14.04
interactive = true
tty = true
entrypoint = /bin/bash
disable = true

This will make the agent ignore any action upon this resource.

svcmgr print status will highlights disabled resources with the D flag.

$ om app1.dev print status --refresh
app1.dev                     up        
`- deb1.opensvc.com          up         idle, started
   |- ip#0             ..... up         192.168.1.1@lo
   `- container#1      .D... n/a        docker container app1.dev.container.1@ubuntu:14.04

Optional

A resource can be marked as optional using the optional keyword.

[app#0]
script = /bin/true
info = true
stop = true
start = true
optional = true

This parameter allow defining non critical resources in the service.

Service actions won't stop on error reported by optional resources.

svcmgr print status will highlights optional resources with the O flag.

$ om redis.acme.com print status
mysvc1.opensvc.com                up        
`- deb1.opensvc.com               up         idle, started
   |- ip#1                  ..... up         128.0.1.124@lo
   |- disk#1                ..... stdby up   loop /opt/disk1.dd
   |- disk#2                ..... stdby up   loop /opt/disk2.dd
   |- disk#3                ..... stdby up   vg vgtest
   |- fs#1                  ..... up         ext4 /dev/vgtest/lvtest1@/opt/avn/lvtest1
   |- fs#2                  ..... up         ext4 /dev/vgtest/lvtest2@/opt/avn/lvtest2
   |- fs#3                  ..... up         ext4 /dev/disk/by-label/testfs@/opt/avn/lvtest3
   |- share#0               ..../ up         nfs:/opt/avn/lvtest3

   |                                         info: check is not set
   `- sync#i0               ..O./ up         rsync svc config to drpnodes, nodes

Monitoring

A resource can be marked as monitored using the monitor keyword.

[disk#3]
type = vg
name = vgtest
standby = true
monitor = true

It means that this resource is critical for the service availability.

If the resource goes down, then the agent triggers the monitor_action, which may cause a crash or reboot of the node, or stop of the service, to force a failover.

svcmgr print status will highlights monitored resources with the M flag.

$ om redis.acme.com print status
mysvc1.opensvc.com                up        
`- deb1.opensvc.com               up         idle, started
   |- ip#1                  ..... up         128.0.1.124@lo
   |- disk#1                ..... stdby up   loop /opt/disk1.dd
   |- disk#2                ..... stdby up   loop /opt/disk2.dd
   |- disk#3                M.... stdby up   vg vgtest
   |- fs#1                  ..... up         ext4 /dev/vgtest/lvtest1@/opt/avn/lvtest1
   |- fs#2                  ..... up         ext4 /dev/vgtest/lvtest2@/opt/avn/lvtest2
   |- fs#3                  ..... up         ext4 /dev/disk/by-label/testfs@/opt/avn/lvtest3
   |- share#0               ..../ up         nfs:/opt/avn/lvtest3
   |- app#0                 ..O./ n/a        true
   |                                         info: check is not set
   `- sync#i0               ..O./ up         rsync svc config to drpnodes, nodes

Note

restart parameter can be combined with monitor setting, as explained below

Automatic Restart

The restart parameter can be set to make the agent daemon monitor restart the resource if it fails:

[app#0]
script = /bin/true
info = true
stop = true
start = true
optional = true
restart = 2

The restart value is the number of times the daemon will attempt to restart the resource before giving up.

If combined with monitor, the agent will try to restart the failed resource before triggering the monitor_action

Standby resources

Some resources must remain up, even when the service instance is stopped.

For example, in a 2-nodes failover service with a fs resource and a sync.rsync resource replicating the fs, the fs resource must be up on the passive node receive the rsync'ed data. If not, the data gets written to the underlying filesystem.

The standby keyword can be set in these cases:

[disk#3]
type = vg
name = vgtest
standby = true
monitor = true

Possible values are 'nodes', 'drpnodes' or 'nodes drpnodes', or a list of nodes.

Resources with standby = true are started on service boot and start actions, and stopped only on service shutdown action.

svcgr print status will display the stdby up status for up standby resources, and stdby down status for down standby resources.

Warning

Don't set shared disk always on. This would cause data corruption.

Triggers

Triggers are scripts or commands executed before or after a resource action.

Syntax

In a service resource configuration section, triggers can be defined using a keyword formatted as

[blocking_]<when>_<action>[@<scope>] = <command>

Blocking

If the blocking_ prefix is set, a non-zero command return code causes the service action to abort on error.

If the blocking_ prefix is not set, a non-zero command return code causes an error log, but the service action continues.

When

Supported values:

  • pre The command is executed before the normal resource driver action.
  • post The command is executed after the normal resource driver action.

Action

Supported values:

  • start
  • stop
  • run
  • provision
  • unprovision
  • sync_nodes
  • sync_drp
  • sync_resync
  • sync_update

Command

The command value supports shell expressions, like &&, ||, ...

Warning

; is interpreted as a comment begin marker if preceded by a whitespace. To use this character as a separator between commands, be sure to not insert a whitespace before. Example: post_start = echo hey; echo ya is valid but post_start = echo hey ; echo ya is not.

Use Cases

  • Inter-service dependencies

    Using a pre_start trigger to implement a wait loop for a tiers service expected state. A blocking_pre_start trigger can be combined with a wait loop timeout to abort the service startup if the required tiers service does not reach the expected state in time.

  • Service provisioning

    Using a post_provision trigger to create directories, files, run configuration management, deploy app, ... just after the filesystems are provisioned and started.

  • Extra start checks

    Using a blocking_pre_start on the first started resource to verify extra conditions to allow service instance startup.

Resource Devices

The agent reports to the collector the base disks list and and size. For each disk, it also reports the size used by each service.

$ om node pushdisks

Each resource driver can implement a method to claim devices as "exposed" and "sub" (exposed layered over). The device tree is walked to determine the "base" devices:

$ om pridns print devs
