Just for grins and giggles (I need some of both right now) I just updated to SL6.8.
We'll see what's what now. That's EVERYTHING changed.

yes - at least I think this is all the packages. (What I did was run a yum update -y, for the most part - had to do pacemaker separately -- had to stop it, update it, start it.)
now, is it possible I'm missing a needed package after the update... but dependencies should have handled that....?

I correlate between the atop logs, nagios alerts, and monit, to try to find a trigger. Like trying to find a particular snowflake in Alaska in January.

That does sound bizarre. I haven't tried 6.5 in a while, but it's
certainly compatible with the current 6.8.
IIRC, you updated to the 6.8 pacemaker packages ... Did you also update
the OS and/or other cluster-related packages to 6.8?

Running atop at 10 second slices, hoping it will catch something. While configuring it yesterday, that server went into it's 'episode', but there was nothing in the atop log to show anything. Nothing else changed except the cpu load average. No increase in any other parameter.
