[pgpool-general: 3812] NOTICE: watchdog lifecheck, watchdog status is DOWN. You need to restart pgpool

[pgpool]

Hello,
 Does anyone know what causes this message to happen? When the message
 occurs the VIP is released. If pgpool on the slave node is in a good
 state it will grab the VIP until the slave node itself starts showing
 this same message. When both nodes show this error, the VIP is down
 until pgpool is restarted.

We are running pgpool-II-93-3.4.0-4.

Thank you very much!
