Hi all,     
    Originally, I thought the "monitor" action would be called by heartbeat 
periodically, and heartbeat would then send the 
 return code to other nodes in the heartbeat cluster. So the nodes can get the 
status of the software service, and if the software service crashed other nodes 
can take over that software service. 
     I wrote a test OCF Resource Agents called "myagent", it did nothing but 
log the action call message such as "monitor my test agent!","stop my test 
agent!","start my test agent!". But I found the monitor action was not called 
by the heartbeat periodically. It just would be called when the heartbeat 
started.
      So I just can't  understand about these. If the monitor action is not 
called periodically, how can the nodes know if the 
 software service being monitored runs normally. If the software service 
crashed suddenly, can the heartbeat nodes detected? 
 How can I keep the high availability of a software service with heartbeat?
      Thanks in advance.
