From configuration to operations
What you can do with the Keepalived GUI
Work with virtual IPs
Configure the VIP used to reach the cluster and optionally add it to the Roxy-WI server inventory. Follow the network requirements in the guide when choosing addresses and interfaces.
Virtual IP configurationInspect Keepalived configuration
Use the Keepalived configuration editor to open files on a selected host and compare saved versions. For clusters managed through the cluster workflow, keep cluster settings as the source for generated configuration.
Configuration editing guideInvestigate cluster events
Open Keepalived service logs to investigate role changes and configuration problems. Check the actual node and service state when testing failover.

Prepare a Keepalived cluster
Connect the participating hosts
Install Roxy-WI, add the servers and SSH credentials, and confirm access to every participating node before configuring the cluster.
Prepare servers and credentialsDefine the network and virtual IP
Select the hosts and interfaces and choose a VIP appropriate for their network. The documented HA workflow requires the VIP and server addresses to be on the same network.
Review cluster requirementsConfigure and test the cluster
Apply the cluster configuration, check which node owns the virtual IP and perform a controlled failover test. Review Keepalived and proxy logs before putting the cluster into production.

Before you get started
Keepalived web interface questions
Can I work with Keepalived that is already installed?
Yes. Roxy-WI documents adding existing Keepalived clusters as well as creating new ones. Add the participating hosts and credentials before using the cluster workflow.
Does Roxy-WI replace VRRP?
No. Keepalived continues to implement VRRP on the managed nodes. Roxy-WI helps configure and administer the cluster through its web interface.
Are remote Keepalived checks available in Checker 5?
They require a target-side probe agent or credential provider. Without one, Checker reports remote Keepalived checks as unsupported. Use the Checker documentation when planning monitoring.
