The Anvil! uses a fairly naming convention. That is;
- Tools that start with striker-X are tools useful mainly to Striker dasboards.
- Tools that start with anvil-X are tools that can be useful on any machine in the Anvil! cluster
Separately, Scancore has a collection of scan agents, programs designed to collect information on hardware, software or other sources of information that can prove useful to the Scancore decision engine. These agents are core to the Anvil! system's Intelligent Availability capabilities.

Specialized Tools
These tools are designed for use primarily by other tools, and are not meant to be used by administrators directly.
| Command
|
Brief Description
|
| anvil-daemon
|
This is the main Anvil! daemon. It maintains the state of the various machines in the cluster, runs jobs as needed, etc.
|
| anvil-monitor-network
|
This is a daemon that watches for changes to network interfaces. When changes are detected, the 'scan-network' scan agent is called. This ensures that changes are quickly reflected in the Anvil! database, which is particularly useful when mapping network interfaces.
|
| anvil-monitor-performance
|
This is a daemon that collects performance data and records it in the anvil.log log file. This is designed to help diagnose performance issues by keeping track of CPU load, I/O wait times, and other metrics.
|
| alteeve-repo-setup
|
This tool configures the Alteeve repository. Primarily it is used to setup the repository needed to access Alteeve software, and to switch between the community and enterprise repositories.
|
| fence_delay
|
This is a pseudo fence agent that the Anvil! uses automatically when a subnode has an IPMI BMC. It's purpose is the slow down Pacemaker to give time for the IPMI BMC to boot after a power fence device, like a switched PDU, cut and restored power to a failed node.
|
| fence_pacemaker
|
This is a DRBD fence agent. It acts as a glue layer so that DRBD can request a resource (or node) be fenced, and passing that request on to Pacemaker.
|
| scancore
|
This is the Scancore daemon, which is the component of the Anvil! cluster that provides all of the Intelligent Availability / risk mitigation.
|
| unfence_pacemaker
|
This is the DRBD "unfence" agent. It acts as a glue layer so that DRBD can request a resource be unfenced, and passing that request on to Pacemaker.
