Subject: [PATCH cluster 1/5] add functions to determine warning level for high token timeouts
Date: Mon, 30 Mar 2026 16:43:17 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260330144321.321072-2-m.koeppl@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260330144321.321072-1-m.koeppl@proxmox.com>

High token timeouts can lead to stability problems in clusters. To
inform users about the timeout in their current setup (or expected
timeouts when adding nodes) and give recommendations regarding the token
coefficient setting, introduce function to calculate the timeout as well
as determine the warning / recommendation levels.

Signed-off-by: Michael Köppl <m.koeppl@proxmox.com>

The timeouts are chosen according to Friedrich's description in [0].
