Both examples you quoted may make sense even though the timeout/monitor interval ratio are very different. Doubt that there was any deep philosophy behind those. The most important thing to consider when dealing with intervals and timeouts is to know your resources. For example, one filesystem can differ very much from another. Otherwise, a monitor interval is largely a matter of preference. Or your particular needs for failover times. But you should also take into account how much cpu is used by the monitoring operations. A timeout should cover the worst case in which the resource may still considered to be healthy.
