[Pacemaker] pingd process dies for no reason

Tue Jan 11 09:15:57 EST 2011

hy,

thx i configured these values now. i hope that we won't face this problem 
again, otherwise, like i said, i turned on the debug mode of the ping ra, 
and if i get the next maintenance window, i'll turn on cluster debog mode. 
so we'd have more log info to find the reason for this problem.

thx again.

kr patrik

I think "dampen" needs to be larger than the monitoring interval.
And the timeout on the operation should be large enough that
ping, even if the remote is unreachable for the first time,
will timeout by itself (and not killed prematurely by lrmd because
the operation timeout elapsed).

try with interval 15s, dampen 20,
  instance parameter timeout: something explicit, if you want to.
  instance parameter attempts: something explicit, if you want to.
 monitor operation timeout=60s 

BTW, someone should really implement the fping based ping RA ...
Or did I miss it?
