Hi,

I'm using the heartbeat mode as the lifecheck method.  What happens if
the heartbeat signal is not received?

In Pgpool-II 3.6.12, when I close the heartbeat port on the master,
the heartbeat signal is not received and the standby is disconnected
once.

  Aug 16 10:01:30 centos7-1 pgpool[12906]: [10-1] LOG:  watchdog: lifecheck started

  # firewall-cmd --remove-port=9694/udp

  Aug 16 10:02:20 centos7-1 pgpool[12906]: [11-1] LOG:  informing the node status change to watchdog

However then, the standby watchdog will reconnect.

  Aug 16 10:02:20 centos7-1 pgpool[12904]: [28-1] LOG:  new outbound connection to 192.168.137.72:9000
  Aug 16 10:02:20 centos7-1 pgpool[12904]: [29-1] LOG:  new watchdog node connection is received from "192.168.137.72:12471"
  Aug 16 10:02:20 centos7-1 pgpool[12904]: [30-1] LOG:  new node joined the cluster hostname:"192.168.137.72" port:9000 pgpool_port:9999

Is this behavior correct?

The pcp_watchdog_info command result is as follows:

  $ pcp_watchdog_info
  2 YES 192.168.137.71:9999 Linux centos7-1 192.168.137.71
  
  192.168.137.71:9999 Linux centos7-1 192.168.137.71 9999 9000 4 MASTER
  192.168.137.72:9999 Linux centos7-2 192.168.137.72 9999 9000 7 STANDBY

I will attach the pgpool.conf files for both nodes.

Best regards,
