The health of your ``keepalived`` instances can be automatically monitored via a bash script that verifies connectivity to all available and configured gateway addresses. In the event that connectivity is lost, the master router is rescheduled to another node. If all routers lose connectivity simultaneously, the process of selecting a new master router will be repeated in a round-robin fashion until one or more routers have their connectivity restored. To enable this feature, edit the ``l3_agent.ini`` file: .. code-block:: ini ha_vrrp_health_check_interval = 30 Where ``ha_vrrp_health_check_interval`` indicates how often in seconds the health check should run. The default value is ``0``, which indicates that the check should not run at all.
