I am a little surprised; the peer OSDs used to detect this. But we've re-done the heartbeat logic a few times and both losing a whole data center's worth of daemons while not having monitoring to check if they turn on actually isn't that common. Can you create a tracker ticket with the version you're seeing it on and any non-default configuration options you've set? -Greg > > I wonder if I could close this gap with additional monitoring of my own.
