Piranha is a suite of tools to configure and manage an Linux Virtual Server (LVS) based service. Older versions of Piranha support a GTK+ front end which is being phased out in favour of an HTML-based configuration tool. Piranha comes with its own heartbeat tool to monitor the LVS servers and effect IP address takeover in the case of failure. Piranha also has its own tool for monitoring the health of back-end servers and manipulating the real servers for each virtual server configured for LVS appropriately.
