This parameter is used to bring this toolkit into
maintenance mode. If this parameter is set to yes then
MAINTENANCE_FLAG
it enables maintenance feature in the toolkit. Apache
toolkit searches the apache.debug file in the Apache
toolkit package file directory where all the apache toolkit
files reside.
If the file exists, monitoring is paused, and you can bring
down Apache for maintenance. The package does not
fail over to the adoptive node even though the Apache
instance is brought down for maintenance.
After the maintenance work, ensure that Apache is
brought up. You must delete the apache.debug file in
the package directory. This enables the toolkit to
continue monitoring Apache web server application.
