Hello,
> Sorry but you miss the part where node 1 was added back to a standby after the failover to node 2. At the point of when I turn off pgpool on node 2, node 1 and node 3 are the standby nodes which node 3 should take over watchdog
I have tested Pgpool-II 4.2.4, but I could not reproduce this issue.
Could you share the following information?
- result of "pcp_watchdog_info" after adding back node1 as a standby
- pgpool logs of node 1 and node 3 after turning off pgpool on node2.

> > I have a 3 nodes setup for pgpool/postgresql using watchdog, When testing the failover of pgpool, I turn off pgpool on node 1 which fails over watchdog to node 2. Then I turn on pgpool on node 1 that set node 1 as a standby node. The next step I turn off pgpool on node 2 which watchdog try’s to fail over to node 3 but watchdog IP never comes up on node 3 or any of the nodes. So I turn off pgpool on node 3 and watchdog fails over to node 1.
