"""
Script to handle keepalived notifications.
This script will be called by keepalived with three arguments:
- "GROUP" or "INSTANCE"
- name of the group or instance
- target state of the transition: "MASTER", "BACKUP", "FAULT"
The script should return 1 if the number of parameters is not 3, if the
target state is not "MASTER", "BACKUP" or "FAULT", or if the first parameter
is not "GROUP" or "INSTANCE". Otherwise it should return 0.
It should log its actions to syslog.
If the transition is to "MASTER", the script should start the service "zabbix-proxy".
It should also call a GCP cloud function to change the route to point to the new master.
This call will done to the URL defined in the variable FUNCTION_URL.
It should be called with a parameter "target" passing the hostname of the new master.
Is should also pass an Authorization header with a token.
To generate the token, the script should call the GCP metadata server.
If the transition is to "BACKUP" or "FAULT", the script should stop the service "zabbix-proxy".
