I will give you a quick overview of the system. There would be 3 nodes
configured in a cluster. One would act as a leader and others as followers.
Our system would be actively running on all the three nodes and serve
external services assigned to them. On top of that, the Leader would have
some services running. In case the leader node (DC) fails, load of failed
leader needs to be distributed among followers. One should get elected as
next leader and start the additional services the previous leader was
running.

In this case, a our system daemon running on the next node (designated as
new coordinater) needs to know that DC has changed and start the additional
services. Hope this clarifies my need.

AFAIK, crm_mon (or dcs) needs to be run from command line. Are you
suggesting that I create a service which runs crm_mon and parse the ourput
in a loop to check changes in DC/resources ?

We are currently designing the services which are all stateless. If you
have any quick suggestions to be considered, please let me know. Also, what
type of RA would be helpful in this case. My services would be written in
C++.
