I hope I'm right to assume that the monitoring action just timed out.
This is a problem which was discussed here more often. I ran ito 
the same problems.

The answer you have to give yourself is: What am I doing with the
information that the monitor action timed out? 
a) Timeout values are to low because monitoring does need so much time
in case of a busy server. => raise timeout values for monitoring.
b) It is a sign that the load is so "unnormal" that the resource has to be
moved, because if "monitor" doesn't work in time regular services do neither.

My personal advice: raise timeout. Don't forget start/stop timeout , too.


Best regards
