I am in the process of trying to write an fping RA, based on the
pacemaker ping RA. My impetus for this is that I would like the RA to
return success as soon as any ping succeeds; the behavior of linux's
system ping as used in the standard ping RA is to run COUNT pings
within the given deadline and only after COUNT or the deadline return
success if any of the pings succeeded-- very inefficient. 

My question is this: the ping RA sets default values for
OCF_RESKEY_CRM_meta_timeout and OCF_RESKEY_CRM_meta_interval, and it
tests that OCF_RESKEY_CRM_meta_interval is an integer greater than 0.
These variables aren't used anywhere else within the RA, but these are
the same values in the "actions" section of the metadata for the monitor
timeout and interval. I can't find any documentation that these
variables serve as defaults for the monitor action in either the OCF
agent developer guide or the pacemaker docs, but this seems to be the
intent. Is this what they're there for?
