[pgpool-hackers: 4069] Possible misleading info in pcp_watchdog_info

[Tatsuo Ishii]

Hi Usama,

pcp_watchdog_info displays information of watchdog something like this:

$ pcp_watchdog_info -w -p 50001
4 4 YES localhost:50000 Linux tishii-CFSV9-2 localhost

localhost:50000 Linux tishii-CFSV9-2 localhost 50000 50002 4 LEADER 0 MEMBER
localhost:50004 Linux tishii-CFSV9-2 localhost 50004 50006 7 STANDBY 0 MEMBER
localhost:50008 Linux tishii-CFSV9-2 localhost 50008 50010 7 STANDBY 0 MEMBER
localhost:50012 Linux tishii-CFSV9-2 localhost 50012 50014 7 STANDBY 0 MEMBER

The "YES" in the very first line means that VIP is up on this node
according to the manual. But actually this is not correct because I
have created the watchdog cluster using watchdog_setup and it never
enables VIP. I guess it actually means whether the quorum exists or
not.

Anyway this is misleading and should be fixed IMO.

Note that "-v" (verbose) output also gives wrong information.

$ pcp_watchdog_info -w -p 50001 -v
