I'm glad to hear that.

You don't need to install heartbeat (Pacemaker). Watchdog's heartbeat mode is
pgpool-II's built-in functionality. For the most simple configuration, what
you need to do is:

wd_lifecheck_method = 'heartbeat'

wd_heartbeat_port = 9694
wd_heartbeat_keepalive = 2
wd_heartbeat_deadtime = 30

heartbeat_destination0 = 'tad2'       <= 'tad1' in tad2 server
heartbeat_destination_port0 = 9694
heartbeat_device0 = ''
