PGPOOL Question

I know this is the wrong list for this question, but the pgpool list doesnt appear to be working currently.

I am hoping someone on this list can point me to an answer.

I have a fairly (I thought) straightforward pgpool setup, the backend is postrgresql database that is streaming to a hot standby. I am testing the failover, but when I shutdown the primary database instance and open the standby database instance for read/write, i get this message. "health check failed on node 0 but failover is disallowed for the node". What setting am I missing here?


Applicable section from the log: Jul 5 10:45:14 pgpool1 pgpool-II-10[32640]: [13-1] 2019-07-05 10:45:14: pid 32640: ERROR: failed to make persistent db connection Jul 5 10:45:14 pgpool1 pgpool-II-10[32640]: [13-2] 2019-07-05 10:45:14: pid 32640: DETAIL: connection to host:"10.12.1.225:5432" failed Jul 5 10:45:14 pgpool1 pgpool-II-10[32640]: [14-1] 2019-07-05 10:45:14: pid 32640: LOG: health check failed on node 0 but failover is disallowed for the node

Here are the applicable sections from my pgpool.conf
