I have two VM's running keepalived. I have created a vrrp script to check if a container is running and if not decrease the priority of the vrrp node so that it causes a failover. However on the master node I get the below errors. I have also added my config files, anyone know why I get this error when there is only one vrrp? On the backup node the script runs and adjusts the weight as expected.
