RELAYCTL(8)		    System Manager's Manual		   RELAYCTL(8)

NAME
       relayctl	-- control the relay daemon

SYNOPSIS
       relayctl	[-s socket] command [argument ...]

DESCRIPTION
       The relayctl program controls the relayd(8) daemon.

       The following options are available:

       -s socket
	       Use  socket instead of the default /var/run/relayd.sock to com-
	       municate	with relayd(8).

       The following commands are available:

       host disable [name | id]
	       Disable a host.	Treat it as though it were always down.

       host enable [name | id]
	       Enable the host.	 Start checking	its health again.

       load filename
	       Reload the configuration	from the specified file.

       log brief
	       Disable verbose debug logging.

       log verbose
	       Enable verbose debug logging.

       monitor
	       Continuously report any changes in the host checking engine and
	       the pf(4) engine.

       poll    Schedule	an immediate check of all hosts.

       redirect	disable	[name |	id]
	       Disable a redirection.  If it has pf(4) redirection  rules  in-
	       stalled,	 remove	them.  Mark the	redirection's main table and -
	       if applicable - disable the backup table	as well.

       redirect	enable [name | id]
	       Enable a	redirection.  Mark the redirection's main table	and  -
	       if applicable - enable the backup table as well.

       reload  Reload the configuration	file.

       show hosts
	       Show  detailed  status of hosts and tables.  It will also print
	       the last	error for failed host checks;  see  the	 "DIAGNOSTICS"
	       section below.

       show redirects
	       Show  detailed status of	redirections including the current and
	       average access statistics.   The	 statistics  will  be  updated
	       every  minute.	Redirections  using  the sticky-address	option
	       will count the number of	sticky states, not the total number of
	       redirected connections.

       show relays
	       Show detailed status of relays including	the current and	 aver-
	       age  access  statistics.	  The statistics will be updated every
	       minute.

       show sessions
	       Dump the	complete list of running relay sessions.

       show summary
	       Display a list of all relays, redirections, tables, and hosts.

       table disable [name | id]
	       Disable a table.	 Consider all hosts disabled.  If it is	a main
	       table of	a redirection which has	a non-empty backup table, swap
	       the contents of the pf(4) table with those of the backup	table.

       table enable [name | id]
	       Enable a	table.	Start doing checks for all hosts  that	aren't
	       individually disabled again.

FILES
       /var/run/relayd.sock    Unix-domain  socket used	for communication with
			       relayd(8).

DIAGNOSTICS
       If a host is down and a previous	check failed,  relayctl	 will  display
       the  last error in the output of	the show hosts command.	 This is espe-
       cially useful for debugging server or configuration failures.  The fol-
       lowing errors will be reported:

       none    No specific error was reported by the check engine.

       aborted
	       All checks were aborted by an external event, like a configura-
	       tion reload.

       interval	timeout
	       The check did not finish	in the configured time of an interval.
	       This can	happen if there	are too	many hosts  that  have	to  be
	       checked	by  relayd(8)  and  can	 be  avoided by	increasing the
	       global interval option in relayd.conf(5).

       icmp read timeout
       tls read	timeout
       tcp read	timeout
	       The check failed	because	the remote host	did not	send  a	 reply
	       within the configured timeout.

       icmp write timeout
       tls write timeout
       tcp write timeout
       tls connect timeout
       tcp connect timeout
	       The  check  failed  because relayd(8) was not ready to send the
	       request within the configured timeout.

       tls connect error
       tls read	error
       tls write error
       tcp connect error
       tcp read	failed
       tcp write failed
	       An I/O error occurred.  This indicates that relayd(8) was  run-
	       ning low	on resources, file descriptors,	or was too busy	to run
	       the  request.   It can also indicate that a TLS or TCP protocol
	       error occurred or that the connection was unexpectedly aborted.

       tls connect failed
       tcp connect failed
	       The check failed	because	the protocol handshake did not succeed
	       in opening a stateful connection	with the remote	host.

       script failed
	       The external script executed by the  check  did	not  return  a
	       valid return code.

       send/expect failed
	       The  payload data returned by the remote	host did not match the
	       expected	pattern.

       http code malformed
       http digest malformed
	       The remote host did not return a	valid HTTP header or body.

       http code mismatch
	       The remote host did not return  a  matching  HTTP  error	 code.
	       This  may  indicate  a real server problem (a server error, the
	       page was	not found, permission was denied) or  a	 configuration
	       error.  For example, it is a very common	mistake	that relayd(8)
	       was  configured	to expect a HTTP 200 OK	status but the host is
	       returning a HTTP	302 Found redirection.	See relayd.conf(5) for
	       more information	on validating the HTTP return code.

       http digest mismatch
	       The remote host did not return the  expected  content  and  the
	       computed	 digest	 was  different	 to the	configured value.  See
	       relayd.conf(5) for more information on validating the digest.
