keepalived配置说明（长期翻译更新。。。）

https://github.com/acassen/keepalived/blob/master/doc/keepalived.conf.SYNOPSIS

此文件描述所有可获得的Keepalived关键字。keepalived.conf
文件由三个配置部分组成 :

    * Globals 配置
    * VRRP 配置
    * LVS 配置
    * BFD 配置(2层转发相关)

0. 注释

两种有效的注释字符串 : 如果要写注释就使用 # 或者 ! 
0.1. 参数语法

这些值中选一个:on|off|true|false|yes|no，或者省略，默认值为on

0.2. 条件配置和配置id

1). config-id默认是节点名的第一部分。可以通过keepalived的-i或者--config-id来进行覆盖,任何以'@'开头的配置行就是条件配置行。跟在@后面的那个单词与-i(或者--config-id)指定的id名进行比较，如果不匹配，则忽略。

2). 另外，'@^'是一个消极的比较，如果其他配置都不匹配，那么就匹配这个。

3).这样做的目的是一个配置文件可以被不同的系统使用，其中唯一的区别可能是router_id，vrrp实例优先级，可能还有接口名

例子:

global_defs
{
@main   router_id main_router
@backup router_id backup_router
}
...
vrrp_instance VRRP1 {
    ...
@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
    }
}

4). 如果用-i main来调用keepalived(使用上面的配置)，或者如果使用-i，配置id没有指定，那么配置id默认就是main.xxxx(xxx为其他字符串)那么keepalived将会使用router_id为main_router。如果用-i backup来调用keepalived或者配置id为backup，那么backup_router会被使用。如果没有使用-i backup来调用keepalived或者配置id部位main或backup，而是-i带了别的参数。那么backup_router就不会被使用

5). 如果用-i backup调用keepalived，或者配置id为backup，则使用backup_router，如果没有使用-i调用，则节点名不是main或backup或者带的是其他参数，router_id则将不会被设置。

6). 配置id为main的unicast peers配置则为1.2.3.5和1.2.3.6.（1.2.3.4）

0.3. 脚本

三种类型的脚本可以被配置执行。

a. 通知脚本：当vrrp实例或vrrp组的状态时发生变化，或者虚拟服务器的状态发生了up或者down时候调用的通知脚本

b. vrrp跟踪脚本：这些脚本的调用如果退出码为非0会导致vrrp实例退出，或者如果权值被指定，那么将会加减vrrp实例相应的优先级

c. lvs checker misc脚本：如果脚本以非零值退出，那么会直接down调real server服务.

默认这些脚本会以用户keepalived_script来执行，如果用户不存在，且没有指定root来执行。那就以每一个脚本的指定用户/组来执行

为了能够被SIGTERM终止，所有的脚本必须有写权限。当父进程终止的时候，脚本会收到SIGTERM信号。keepalived会等待脚本运行结束

0.4 配置导入

这个可以让支持多文件导入.

include directive格式为：
include FILENAME

0.5 配置文件语法解析

1. 全局配置
这个块有5个子块

    * Global definitions
    * Static track groups
    * Static addresses
    * Static rules
    * Static routes

    1.1. Global definitions

    The configuration block 如下：

    dynamic_interfaces                        # 允许配置包含启动时不存在的接口。这允许keepalived使用可能被删除的接口，并恢复，也允许VMAC接口上的虚拟和静态路由和规则

                                              # The following options are only needed for large configurations, where either
                                              # keepalived creates a large number of interface, or the system has a large

                                              # "Netlink: Receive buffer overrun" messages are seen in the system logs.
                                              # If the buffer size needed exceeds the value in /proc/sys/net/core/rmem_max

    vrrp_netlink_cmd_rcv_bufs_force    #  very large configurations where a large number of interfaces exist, and
    vrrp_netlink_monitor_rcv_bufs BYTES       #  the initial read of the interfaces on the system causes a netlink buffer
    vrrp_netlink_monitor_rcv_bufs_force # overrun.
    lvs_netlink_cmd_rcv_bufs BYTES            #  The vrrp netlink command and monitor socket and the checker command
    lvs_netlink_cmd_rcv_bufs_force     #  and monitor socket buffer sizes can be independently set. 
    lvs_netlink_monitor_rcv_bufs BYTES        #  The force flag means to use SO_RCVBUFFORCE, so that the buffer size can
    lvs_netlink_monitor_rcv_bufs_force #  exceed /proc/sys/net/core/rmem_max.

                                              # When a socket is opened, the kernel configures the max rx buffer size for
                                              # the socket to /proc/sys/net/core/rmem_default. On some systems this can be
                                              # very large, and even generally this can be much larger than necessary.
                                              # This isn't a problem so long as keepalived is reading all queued data from
                                              # it's sockets, but if rmem_default was set sufficiently large, and if for
                                              # some reason keepalived stopped reading, it could consume all system memory.
                                              # The vrrp_rx_bufs_policy allows configuring of the rx bufs size when the
                                              # sockets are opened. If the policy is MTU, the rx buf size is configured
                                              # to the total of interface's MTU * vrrp_rx_bufs_multiplier for each vrrp
                                              # instance using the socket. Likewise, if the policy is ADVERT, then it is
                                              # the total of each vrrp instances advert packet size * multiplier.
                                              # If policy is set to a number, the rx buf size is configured to that number.
    vrrp_rx_bufs_policy [MTU|ADVERT|NUMBER]   # default is to use system default
    vrrp_rx_bufs_multiplier NUMBER            # default 3

    rs_init_notifies                  # Send notifies at startup for real servers that are starting up
    no_checker_emails                         # Don't send an email every time a real server checker changes state;
                                              #   only send email when a real server is added or removed
}

net_namespace NAME                            # 设置命名空间
                                              # The directory /var/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
namespace_with_ipsets                         # 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 isn't specified.
                                              # This options overrides the default and allows ipsets to be used
                                              # with a namespace on kernels prior to 3.13.

instance NAME                                 # 这个用于设置syslog的ident以及pid文件名，如果多个keepalived实例在相同的名称空间中运行，则会出现这种情况。在/var/run/keepalived中以名称作为文件名的一部分创建pid文件。注意:在重新加载配置时不能更改实例名

use_pid_dir                                   # Create pid files in /var/run/keepalived

linkbeat_use_polling                          # Use media link failure detection polling fashion

child_wait_time SECS                          # Time for main process to allow for child processes to exit on termination
                                              #   in seconds (default 5). This can be needed for very large configurations.

    1.2. Static track groups

    Static track groups are used to allow vrrp instances to track static addresses
    routes and rules. If an static address/route/rule specifies a track group, then
    if the address/route/rule is deleted, the vrrp instance will transition to backup
    or to fault state if the address/route/rule cannot be re-added.

    The syntax for a track group is:

    track_group GROUP1 {
        group {
            VI_1
            VI_2
        }
    }

    1.3. Static addresses

    The configuration block looks like :

static_ipaddress {                            # block identification
                                              # If no dev element is specified, it defaults to the default_interface (default eth0)
                          # The track_group specification refers to a named track_group which lists the vrrp instances which
                                              #   will track the address, i.e. if the address is deleted and cannot be restored the vrrp instances
                                              #    will transition to fault state.
                                              # no_track means that the address will not be reinstated if it is deleted
                                              # Note: the broadcast address may be specified as '-' or '+' to clear or set the host
                                              #       bits of the address.
    [/] [brd ] [dev ] [scope ] [label ] [peer ] [home] [-nodad] [mngtmpaddr] [noprefixroute] [autojoin] [track_group GROUP|no_track]
    [/] ...
    ...
}

SCOPE can take the following values :
    * site
    * link
    * host
    * nowhere
    * global

    1.4. Static rules

static_rules {                                # block identification
                                              # The syntax is that same as for ip rule add, without "ip rule add"
                                              # with the addition of tunnel-id option (except shortened option names
                                              #   aren't supported due to ambiguities).
                                              # For a description of track_group and no_track, see static_addresses
                                              # 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.

}

    1.5. Static routes

    The configuration block looks like :

static_routes {                               # block identification
                                              # The syntax is the same as ip route add, without "ip route add"
                                              #   (except shorted option names aren't supported due to ambiguities)
                                              # For a description of track_group and no_track, see static_addresses

2. VRRP configuration

This block is divided in 5 sub-blocks:

    * VRRP scripts
    * VRRP track files
    * VRRP track BFDs
    * VRRP synchronization group
    * VRRP gratuitous ARP/NA intervals
    * VRRP instance

    2.1. VRRP scripts

    The configuration block looks like :

vrrp_script {          # VRRP script declaration
    script      # script to run periodically
    interval          # run the script this every seconds
    timeout           # script considered failed after 'timeout' seconds
    weight  # adjust priority by this weight
    fall              # required number of failures for KO switch
    rise              # required number of successes for OK switch
    user USERNAME [GROUPNAME]   # specify user/group to run script under
    init_fail                   # assume script initially is in failed state
}

The script will be executed periodically, every seconds. Its exit
code will be recorded for all VRRP instances which monitor 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 monitoring
the script will transition to the fault state after consecutive failures
of the script. After that, consecutive successes will cause VRRP instances to
leave the fault state, unless they are also in the fault state due to other scripts
or interfaces that they are tracking.

A positive weight means that successes will add 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 failures.

    2.2. VRRP track files

    The configuration block looks like:

vrrp_track_file {      # VRRP track file declaration
    file        # file to monitor
    weight <-254..254>          # default weight (default is 1)
    init_file [VALUE] [overwrite] # 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.
}

The file will be read whenever it is modified. The value in the file
will be recorded for all VRRP instances and sync groups which monitor it.
Note that the file will only be read if at least one VRRP instance or
sync group 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. If the result is less than -253 any VRRP
instance or sync group 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 result is between
-253 and 253, the result will be added to the initial priority of the VRRP instance
(a negative value will reduce the priority), although the effective priority will
be limited to the range [1,254].

If a vrrp instance using a track_file 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.

    2.3. BFD Configuration

    This is an implementation of RFC5880 (Bidirectional forwarding detection),
    and this can be configured to work between 2 keepalived instances, 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 imlpementation has been tested with OpenBFDD (available at
    https://github.com/dyninc/OpenBFDD).

    The configuration block looks like :

bfd_instance {
    neighbor_ip           # BFD Neighbor IP (synonym neighbour_ip)
    source_ip             # Source IP to use (optional)
    mix_rx                   # Required min RX interval, in ms
                                       # (default is 10 ms)
    min_tx                   # Desired min TX interval, in ms
                                       # (default is 10 ms)
    idle_tx                  # Desired idle TX interval, in ms
                                       # (default is 1000 ms)
    multiplier               # Number of missed packets after
                                       # which the session is declared down
                                       # (default is 5)
    passive                            # Operate in passive mode (default is active)
    ttl               # outgoing IPv4 ttl to use (default 255)
    hoplimit          # outgoing IPv6 hoplimit to use (default 64)
    max_hops          # maximum reduction of ttl/hoplimit in received packet (default 0)
                                       #   (255 disables hop count checking)
    weight                             # Default tracking weight
    vrrp|checker                       # Only notify vrrp or checker process. Default is notify both.
}

    2.4. VRRP synchronization group

    The configuration block looks like :

vrrp_sync_group {      # VRRP sync group declaration
    group {                     # group of instance to sync together
                       #   a
                       #       set
      ...                       #             of VRRP_Instance string
    }
    global_tracking             # DEPRECATED. Use track_interface, track_script and
                                # track_file on vrrp_sync_groups instead.
    sync_group_tracking_weight  # 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.
    track_interface {           # Interfaces state we monitor
     
     
      weight
      ...
    }
    track_script {              # Scripts state we monitor
     
      weight
      ...
    }
    track_file {                # Files state we monitor
               # weight defaults to value configured in the vrrp_track_file
      weight
      ...
    }
    track_bfd {                 # BFD instance we monitor
     
     
      weight
      ...
    }

                                # The username and groupname specify the user and group
                                # under which the scripts should be run. If username is
                                # specified, the group defaults to the group of the user.
                                # If username is not specified, they default to the
                                # global script_user and script_group
    notify_master | [username [groupname]]
                                # Script to run during MASTER transit
    notify_backup | [username [groupname]]
                                # Script to run during BACKUP transit
    notify_fault | [username [groupname]]
                                # Script to run during FAULT transit
    notify_stop | [username [groupname]]
                                # Script to launch when stopping vrrp
    notify | [username [groupname]]
                                # Script to run during ANY state transit (1)
    smtp_alert           # Send email notification during state transit
                                #   (default no, unless global smtp_alert/smtp_alert_vrrp set)
}

    Synchronization group tracking scripts and files will update
    the status/priority of all VRRP instances which are members of
    the sync group.

(1) The "notify" script is called AFTER the corresponding notify_* script has
    been called, and is given 4 additional arguments following the configured
    arguments:

    $(n-3) = A string indicating whether it's a "GROUP" or an "INSTANCE"
    $(n-2) = The name of said group or instance
    $(n-1) = The state it's transitioning to ("MASTER", "BACKUP", "FAULT" or "STOP")
    $(n)   = The priority value

    $(n-3) and $(n-1) are ALWAYS sent in uppercase, and the possible strings sent are the
    same ones listed above ("GROUP"/"INSTANCE", "MASTER"/"BACKUP"/"FAULT"/"STOP")
    (note: STOP is only applicable to instances)

Important: for a SYNC group to run reliably, it is vital that all instances in
           the group are MASTER or that they are all either 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 instances will have
           their tracking weights automatically set to zero, in order to avoid
           inconsistent priorities across instances.

(2) The notify fifo output is the same as the last 4 parameters for the "notify"
    script, with the addition of "MASTER_RX_LOWER_PRI" instead of state for an
    instance. This is used if a master needs to set some external state, such as
    setting a secondary IP address when using Amazon AWS; if another keepalived
    has transitioned to master due to a communications break, the lower priority
    instance will have taken over the secondary IP address, and the proper master
    needs to be able to restore it.

    2.5. VRRP gratuitous ARP/NA intervals

    This section allows the setting of delays between sending gratuitous ARPs
    and unsolicited neighbour advertisements. This is intended for when an
    upstream 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.

garp_group {
    garp_interval     # Sets the interval between Gratuitous ARP
                                #   (in seconds, resolution microseconds)
    gna_interval      # Sets the default interval between unsolicited NA
                                #   (in seconds, resolution microseconds)
    interface          # The physical interface to which the intervals apply
    interfaces {                # A list of interfaces across which the delays are
                       #   aggregated.
       
        ...
    }
}

    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.

    2.6. VRRP instance

    The configuration block looks like :

vrrp_instance {                      # VRRP instance declaration
    use_vmac []                         # Use VRRP Virtual MAC, optional NAME of interface
                                              # 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.

    native_ipv6                               # Force instance to use IPv6 (this option is deprecated since
                                              #   the virtual addresses determine whether IPv4 or IPv6 is used)

                                              # destined to VIPs and eVIPs. This is the default
                                              # unless strict mode is set.

                                              #   vrrp_rx_bufs_policy for explanation)
}

SCOPE can take the following values :
    * site
    * link
    * host
    * nowhere
    * global

LABEL is optional and creates a name for the alias. For compatibility with
"ifconfig", it should be of the form :, for example
eth0:1 for an alias on eth0.

METRIC is optional and specify a route priority.

When a weight is specified in track_interface, instead of setting the vrrp
instance to the FAULT state in case of failure, its priority will be
increased by the weight when the interface is up (for positive weights),
or decreased by the weight's absolute value when the interface is down
(for negative weights). The weight must be comprised between -254 and +254
inclusive. 0 is the default behaviour which means that a failure implies a
FAULT state. The common practice is to use positive weights to count a
limited number of good services so that the server with the highest count
becomes master. Negative weights are better to count unexpected failures
among a high number of interfaces, as it will not saturate even with high
number of interfaces.

The same principle can be applied to track_script entries, except that an
unspecified weight means that the default weight declared in the script
will be used (which itself defaults to 0).

3. LVS configuration

This block is divided in 2 sub-block :

    * Virtual server group
    * Virtual server
    * SSL config

    3.1. Virtual server group

    The configuration block looks like :

virtual_server_group {
            # VIP VPORT
   
    ...
      # VIP range VPORT
   
    ...
    fwmark            # fwmark
    fwmark
    ...
}

Note:   has the form of : XXX.YYY.ZZZ.WWW-VVV, define
        the IP address range starting at WWW and monotonaly incremented by
        one to VVV. Example : 192.168.200.1-10 means .1 to .10 IP addresses.

    3.2. Virtual server

    The configuration block looks like :

    A virtual_server can be either :
    * vip vport declaration
    * fwmark declaration
    * group declaration

    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 default for checkers.

    Note 2: 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 fwmark, 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).
