50 | a8083063 | Iustin Pop | The <command>&dhpackage;</command> is a periodically run script |
51 | a8083063 | Iustin Pop | which is responsible for keeping the instances in the correct |
52 | 6328fea3 | Iustin Pop | status. It has two separate functions, one for the master node |
53 | 6328fea3 | Iustin Pop | and another one that runs on every node. |

58 | f69dab6d | Iustin Pop | |
59 | 6328fea3 | Iustin Pop | <para> |
60 | 6328fea3 | Iustin Pop | Its primary function is to try to keep running all instances |
61 | 6328fea3 | Iustin Pop | which are marked as <emphasis>up</emphasis> in the configuration |
62 | 6328fea3 | Iustin Pop | file, by trying to start them a limited number of times. |

64 | a8083063 | Iustin Pop | |
65 | 6328fea3 | Iustin Pop | <para> |
66 | 6328fea3 | Iustin Pop | Its other function is to <quote>repair</quote> DRBD links by |
67 | 6328fea3 | Iustin Pop | reactivating the block devices of instances which have |
68 | 6328fea3 | Iustin Pop | secondaries on nodes that have been rebooted. |

78 | 6328fea3 | Iustin Pop | The watcher will restart any down daemons that are appropriate |
79 | 6328fea3 | Iustin Pop | for the current node. |

81 | 6328fea3 | Iustin Pop | |
82 | 6328fea3 | Iustin Pop | <para> |
83 | 6328fea3 | Iustin Pop | In addition, it will execute any scripts which exist under the |
84 | e0897adf | Michael Hanselmann | <quote>watcher</quote> directory in the Ganeti hooks directory |
85 | 6328fea3 | Iustin Pop | (@SYSCONFDIR@/ganeti/hooks). This should be used for |
86 | 6328fea3 | Iustin Pop | lightweight actions, like starting any extra daemons. |
87 | 6328fea3 | Iustin Pop | </para> |
88 | 6328fea3 | Iustin Pop | |
89 | 6328fea3 | Iustin Pop | <para> |
90 | 6328fea3 | Iustin Pop | If the cluster |
91 | 6328fea3 | Iustin Pop | parameter <literal>maintain_node_health</literal> is enabled, |
92 | 6328fea3 | Iustin Pop | then the watcher will also shutdown instances and DRBD devices |
93 | 6328fea3 | Iustin Pop | if the node is declared as offline by known master candidates. |

95 | 6328fea3 | Iustin Pop | |
96 | 6328fea3 | Iustin Pop | <para> |
97 | 6328fea3 | Iustin Pop | The watcher does synchronous queries but will submit jobs for |
98 | 6328fea3 | Iustin Pop | executing the changes. Due to locking, it could be that the jobs |
99 | 6328fea3 | Iustin Pop | execute much later than the watcher executes them. |

111 | 96b9071c | Iustin Pop | The command has a state file located at |
112 | 6328fea3 | Iustin Pop | <filename>@LOCALSTATEDIR@/lib/ganeti/watcher.data</filename> |
113 | 6328fea3 | Iustin Pop | (only used on the master) and a log file at |
114 | 96b9071c | Iustin Pop | <filename>@LOCALSTATEDIR@/log/ganeti/watcher.log</filename>. Removal of |
115 | 96b9071c | Iustin Pop | either file will not affect correct operation; the removal of |
116 | 96b9071c | Iustin Pop | the state file will just cause the restart counters for the |
117 | 96b9071c | Iustin Pop | instances to reset to zero. |
