Hearbeat hanya harus dihidupkan ulang pada mesin sekunder, karenanya menghindari segala downtime yang terkait dengan manajemen sumber daya.
Dalam kasus ini, simpul utama mendeteksi bahwa mesin slave 'mati' dan memaksa 'failover' yang memuat ulang file sumber daya dan memulai sumber daya yang hilang.
Log cukup eksplisit ketika melakukan ini:
