There are not exactly return values. The pingd program, which is either managed by the pingd RA or using the ha.cf respawn directive, just creates an attribute in the status section of the CIB. The value of that attribute depends on the number of nodes it was able to ping (n*multiplier). > What do these mean? More importantly what does <value> mean?

Hmm, not an expert on GUI, but shouldn't you here enter the attribute name for the <value> (typically pingd). > So then we're left with trying to use <value> for a failover trigger.

The pingd program does all the work. Don't reference that cloned resource in constraints. Just reference the attribute which pingd inserted in the status section (using score_attribute instead of score). > Any thoughts? Hope that this helps.
