The point is:  the _meaning_ of probe is different to monitor:

no, its not.  trust me :-)

both ask the same question: "Is this resource running?"


on monitor, if the resource is running then it's ok
on probe, it is generally not ok in the sense that it's
generally not what you want.
That means, maybe you want your RA to log a message
when called as "probe" to write something like:

"Resource is running although it shouldn't"

probes don't only happen at startup so this assumption does not hold

but when called as "monitor" you would probably
log nothing on success.

Convinced?

nope :-)
