NAME

6       pingd - node up/down monitoring daemon
7

SYNOPSIS

9       pingd [OPTIONS]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       The  pingd  daemon regularly sends out ICMP pings to determine if nodes
13       are still up or down.
14
15       The pingd daemon can be configured using the pingd configuration  file.
16       Nodes  which  should be pinged may also be configured via loadable mod‐
17       ules.
18
19       See the pingd.conf(5) manpage for additional information.

CLUSTERLIST MODULES

31       The pingd daemon nodes to ping can also  be  configured  with  a  clus‐
32       terlist  module.  The clusterlist module can obtain a list of all clus‐
33       ter nodes.  There are several possible clusterlist formats that can  be
34       parsed.  By default, the following clusterlist modules are searched for
35       by pingd in the following order:
36
37       genders - Uses a genders database and the genders library to  determine
38       all nodes in the cluster.  See http://genders.sourceforge.net.
39
40       hostsfile  -  Uses  a file that lists the hostname of every node in the
41       cluster on a separate line.  The default hostsfile is /etc/hostsfile.
42
43       If none of the above are found, nodes must be configured via the  pingd
44       configuration file.
