Thanks. I thought of this gropher first but am not really sure whether this is the right one to use for relative metric.

For a region say A, I ping to a local box in region 'A' and ping to remote box in region 'B' which involves a WAN latency. Can I use the average ping metrics to these boxes and say that my typing latency is 'x' times more in remote box when compared to the latency in local box?

Is it a right metric to use?

No $ when typing cw

Hi As a dummy my question is very simple. When typing cw I've read (many times) that a '$' should appear at the end of the word I'm about to change. However, it doesn't, and in my case the word is instantly deleted and so ready to be changed! Can somebody tell me why this is, or maybe I...

OCF_PACEMAKER_PING(7)					      Pacemaker Configuration					     OCF_PACEMAKER_PING(7)

NAME

       ocf_pacemaker_ping - node connectivity

SYNOPSIS

       [OCF_RESKEY_pidfile=string] [OCF_RESKEY_dampen=integer] [OCF_RESKEY_name=string] [OCF_RESKEY_multiplier=integer]
       [OCF_RESKEY_host_list=string] [OCF_RESKEY_attempts=integer] [OCF_RESKEY_timeout=integer] [OCF_RESKEY_options=string]
       [OCF_RESKEY_debug=string]

       ping [start | stop | reload | monitor | meta-data | validate-all]

DESCRIPTION

       Every time the monitor action is run, this resource agent records (in the CIB) the current number of ping nodes the host can connect to. It
       is essentially the same as pingd except that it uses the system ping tool to obtain the results.

SUPPORTED PARAMETERS

       OCF_RESKEY_pidfile = string [/var/run//ping-default]
	   PID file

       OCF_RESKEY_dampen = integer [5s]
	   Dampening interval

	   The time to wait (dampening) further changes occur

       OCF_RESKEY_name = string [pingd]
	   Attribute name

	   The name of the attributes to set. This is the name to be used in the constraints.

       OCF_RESKEY_multiplier = integer []
	   Value multiplier

	   The number by which to multiply the number of connected ping nodes by

       OCF_RESKEY_host_list = string []
	   Host list

	   The list of ping nodes to count. Defaults to all configured ping nodes. Rarely needs to be specified.

       OCF_RESKEY_attempts = integer [2]
	   no. of ping attempts

	   Number of ping attempts, per host, before declaring it dead

       OCF_RESKEY_timeout = integer [2]
	   ping timeout in seconds

	   How long, in seconds, to wait before declaring a ping lost

       OCF_RESKEY_options = string []
	   Extra Options

	   A catch all for any other options that need to be passed to ping.

       OCF_RESKEY_debug = string [false]
	   Verbose logging

	   Enables to use default attrd_updater verbose logging on every call.
