All, What is the shortest monitoring interval that's practical? I know it relates to system performance, but assuming a properly sized hardware platform, and a reasonable loading, what are people's experiences with short monitor intervals? Is it possible that a short interval could cause monitor requests to get queued up, or does heartbeat wait for a response from the monitor request before issuing the next one? How does timeout value factor in (i.e. is there any rule of thumb for its relation to monitor interval, shorter longer, doesn't matter)? In our case, we are considering monitoring a resource every 15 seconds, with a timeout of 10 seconds, but may need to ensure a restart in a shorter period of time.
