Troubleshooting

I personally found that when using ubuntu:18.04 default keepalived of version v1.3.9, sending SIGTERM to the top parent will not successfully forwards the SIGTERM signal to its children and grandchildren. After updating to v2.0.19 , it will behave as its manual specifys.

older version:

keepalived --version
