Get current status/health of HA configuration

[Lukas]

Hi all,
Could you please help me with HA configuration?

I followed instructions in the OPNsense documentation and I also read pfSense book about HA. Yesterday I finished configuration and everything seems to work – NAT, DHCP, it’s all good.

When I navigate on Master node to: System-High Availability-Status then I can see the current status of services and Backup node version.
But If I check the System-High Availability-Status section on a Backup node then I can see just:

The backup firewall is not accessible or not configured.

I don’t understand whether this is correct behavior (and you can see the status only on Master) or whether I made a mistake in configuration.
Could you please tell me is it possible to see the status from Backup node? Is it possible somehow to get it programmatically (at least from Master)? Maybe from a shell in a console?

Thank you.
Lukas

Hi Lukas,

I asked the same question a few days ago, because on my nodes, the backup-node always shows "...not accessible" while on the master node everything is ok.

On another Cluster I am experiencing weird issues with confusing "split brains".  Do you know a possibility to debug HA ? Preferrable from the command line ?

Thanks in advance
Wayne

Status is only viewable on the master. Only for CARP you can see the status under Firewall - Virtual IPs - Status on the backup system
