Sharing code - in this case, the monitor-via-network of the http agents
- seems to make sense, yes.

I am not sure I'd go by making this OCF RA.
We've - for other reasons, like monitoring the services within a VM -
started to look at wrapping up the icinga/nagios probes so that they can
be configured and called by the cluster. My current thinking is that
they might be best handled via a new resource agent class.
(Pseudo-configuration:
primitive vm1 ocf:heartbeat:VirtualDomain
primitive vm1-httpd icinga:httpd \
params ip="192.168.2.1" port="80"
group vm1-service vm1 vm1-httpd
With some special code in the PE to make it understand that it can't
just restart vm1-httpd, but would need to tackle the whole group
atomically, etc.)
I'm curious, have you looked into re-using those probes already? I admit
we're still at the evaluation stage so we might have missed problems
with the approach.
Regards,
Lars
