NAME

       ocf_heartbeat_portblock - Block and unblocks access to TCP and UDP ports

SYNOPSIS

       portblock [start | stop | status | monitor | meta-data | validate-all]

DESCRIPTION

       Resource script for portblock. It is used to temporarily block ports using iptables. In addition, it may
       allow for faster TCP reconnects for clients on failover. Use that if there are long lived TCP connections
       to an HA service. This feature is enabled by setting the tickle_dir parameter and only in concert with
       action set to unblock.  Note that the tickle ACK function is new as of version 3.0.2 and hasn't yet seen
       widespread use.

SUPPORTED PARAMETERS

       protocol
           The protocol used to be blocked/unblocked. (required, string, no default)

       portno
           The port number used to be blocked/unblocked. (required, integer, no default)

       action
           The action (block/unblock) to be done on the protocol::portno. (required, string, no default)

       ip
           The IP address used to be blocked/unblocked. (optional, string, default 0.0.0.0/0)

       tickle_dir
           The shared or local directory (_must_ be absolute path) which stores the established TCP connections.
           (optional, string, no default)

       sync_script
           If the tickle_dir is a local directory, then the TCP connection state file has to be replicated to
           other nodes in the cluster. It can be csync2 (default), some wrapper of rsync, or whatever. It takes
           the file name as a single argument. For csync2, set it to "csync2 -xv". (optional, string, no
           default)

SUPPORTED ACTIONS

       This resource agent supports the following actions (operations):

       start
           Starts the resource. Suggested minimum timeout: 20.

       stop
           Stops the resource. Suggested minimum timeout: 20.

       status
           Performs a status check. Suggested minimum timeout: 10. Suggested interval: 10.

       monitor
           Performs a detailed status check. Suggested minimum timeout: 10. Suggested interval: 10.

       meta-data
           Retrieves resource agent metadata (internal use only). Suggested minimum timeout: 5.

       validate-all
           Performs a validation of the resource configuration. Suggested minimum timeout: 5.

EXAMPLE

       The following is an example configuration for a portblock resource using the crm(8) shell:

           primitive example_portblock ocf:heartbeat:portblock \
             params \
               protocol=string \
               portno=integer \
               action=string \
             op monitor depth="0" timeout="10" interval="10"
