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 communi- cate 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 av- erage 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 average 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 ta- ble 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 indi- vidually disabled again. FILES /var/run/relayd.sock Unix-domain socket used for communication with re- layd(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 especially useful for debugging server or configuration failures. The following er- rors will be reported: none No specific error was reported by the check engine. aborted All checks were aborted by an external event, like a configuration 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 re- quest 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 running low on resources, file descriptors, or was too busy to run the re- quest. It can also indicate that a TLS or TCP protocol error oc- curred 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 ex- pected 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 val- idating the HTTP return code. http digest mismatch The remote host did not return the expected content and the com- puted digest was different to the configured value. See re- layd.conf(5) for more information on validating the digest. SEE ALSO relayd(8) HISTORY The relayctl program, formerly known as hoststatectl, first appeared in OpenBSD 4.1. It was renamed to relayctl in OpenBSD 4.3. FreeBSD ports 15.quarterly November 29, 2017 RELAYCTL(8)
