Thanks for that tip Fabrice, yes indeed the host entry was missing from the
pf.conf file under the database section but it was there in pfconfig.conf.

I have added it to pf.conf and ran below commands, I will observe to
identify if this brings a difference.

systemctl restart packetfence-config
/usr/local/pf/bin/pfcmd configreload

/usr/local/pf/bin/pfcmd service pf restart

Is there a script to perform health check on galera cluster nodes?


Regards
