I like to use crm history log to get the logs from all the nodes in a
single flow, but it depends quite a bit on configuration what gets
logged where..

I'll try to sum up the issues I see, from a glance:
* The drbd resource is a multi-state / master-slave resource, which is
technically a variant of a clone resource where different clones can
either be in a primary or secondary state. To configure it correctly,
you'll need to create a master resource as well. Doing this with a
single command is unfortunately a bit painful. Either use crm
configure edit, or the interactive crm mode (with a verify / commit
after creating both the primitive and the master resources).
* You'll need to create monitor operations for both the master and slave
roles, as you note below, and set explicit timeouts for all
operations.
* Make sure the wwwdata DRBD resource exists, is accessible from both
nodes, and is in a good state to begin with (that is, not
split-brained).
I would recommend following one of the tutorials provided by Linbit
themselves which show how to set this stuff up correctly, since it is
quite a bit involved.
> Btw: is there a history like in the bash where i see which crm command i entered at which time ? I know that crm history is mighty, but didn't find that.
We don't have that yet :/ If you're not in interactive mode, your bash
history should have the commands though.

lol ;)
