[pgpool-general: 2407] pgpool watchdog

[Sergey Arlashin]

Hi!

I'm using pgpool 3.3.1 with pg backend with streaming replication.
At the moment I'm trying to configure watchdog.

This is my watchdog configuration 


pgpool node1:

use_watchdog                  = on
delegate_IP                   = '192.168.33.200'
wd_port                       = 9000

other_pgpool_hostname0        = '192.168.33.12'
other_pgpool_port0            = 9999
other_wd_port0                = 9000

wd_interval                   = 3



pgool node2:

use_watchdog                  = on
delegate_IP                   = '192.168.33.200'
wd_port                       = 9000

other_pgpool_hostname0        = '192.168.33.11'
other_pgpool_port0            = 9999
other_wd_port0                = 9000

wd_interval                   = 3


When I restart pgpool on the active node IP 192.168.33.200 successfully moves to another node as expected. 
But when I just power off the active node nothing happens. The second node doesn't become active. IP 192.168.33.200 doesn't move to the second node.

Is it a bug, or may be it is a misconfiguration issue? Or may be I misunderstand the idea of watchdog?
