+  context:
+    MyInstance:
+      VirtualIP: 10.1.0.100/24

+  # List of rules to apply to incoming VRRP messages
+  rules:
+      # Exec runs the templated command when the rule is triggered
+      #
+      # This rule runs unconditionally, for every message received,
+      # but we can add conditions
+      #
+      # The .Event object has three items: Instance, State and Type, which
+      # can be be used to filter which rules are hit by which events
+    - exec: /bin/logger {{.Event.Instance}} state changed to {{.Event.State}}
+      # This rule only runs when an event with a state of MASTER is detected
+      #
+      # Possible states are: MASTER, BACKUP and STOP
+      # - MASTER | The instance has been promoted to master of its' VIP(s)
+      # - BACKUP | The instance has been demoted, and no longer controls its' VIP(s)
+      # - STOP   | The instance is shutting down, typically because Keepalived is exiting
+    - exec: /bin/logger {{.Event.Instance}} is now MASTER
+      state: MASTER
+      # Conditions can be combined, with each forming a logical AND
+      # Omitted conditions are ignored
+      #
+      # Possible types are:
+      # - INSTANCE | A vrrp_instance as defined in keepalived.conf
+      # - GROUP    | A vrrp_group as defined in the same
+    - exec: /bin/logger Group {{.Event.Instance}} is stopping
+      state: STOP
+      type: GROUP
+      # A more complicated example, introducing the .Cxt object
+      #
+      # The .Cxt object is taken from the watch.context map listed above.
+      # You can add arbitrary metadata to this map and utilize it in your rules,
+      # as shown below
+      #
+      # A couple key points:
+      # - We use the index function from Go's text/template stdlib
+      # - We can list multiple matches for rule conditions, this applies to all
+      #   conditions, not just 'instance'!
+    - exec: >-
+        {{ $i := index .Cxt .Event.Instance }}
