I think that something is wrong with the command that I was trying to run, as pacemaker 1.1.14 successfully uses this resource agent to start/stop/monitor the service generally speaking, outside of the manual debugging context.

There are different code paths when RA is called automatically by
resource manager and when RA is called manually by crm_resource. The
latter did not export this environment variable until 1.1.17. So
documentation is correct in that you do not need 1.1.17 to use RA
normally, as part of pacemaker configuration.

You should be able to workaround it (should you ever need to manually
trigger actions with crm_resource) by manually exporting this
environment variable before calling crm_resource.
