Cluster down-paloaltonetworks-panos

Vendor: paloaltonetworks

OS: panos

Description:
Indeni will alert if a cluster is down or any of the members are inoperable.

Remediation Steps:
Review the cause for one or more members being down or inoperable.
Log into the device over SSH and run “less mp-log ha-agent.log” for more information.",

How does this work?
This script uses the Palo Alto Networks API to retrieve the status of the high availability function of the cluster and specifically retrieves the local member’s and peer’s states.

Why is this important?
Tracking the state of a cluster is important. If a cluster which used to be healthy no longer is, it may be the result of an issue. In some cases, it is due to maintenance work (and so was anticipated), but in others it may be due to a failure in the members of the cluster or another component in the network.

Without Indeni how would you find this?
The status of high availability is visible in the web interface, as a widget on the main screen.
