Logs should say why it fails.

Your feeling may be right, but only logs could give us the whole
story. If you're seeing "late heartbeat" messages or "node dead"
or "node returning after partition" then you definitely need to
adjust timing (keepalive, warntime, and deadtime). Note that the
wording of warnings may be different. Otherwise, if the monitor
operations are timing out, you should adjust the timeouts in the
CIB.

Thanks,
