Hopefully I can do some testing over the Christmas break and come up with something meaningful to report. I've set up a test cluster of virtual machines which is a copy of my main cluster with all the resources changed to dummy and while there is a bit of a spike when I make a change, that is to be expected because all 5 vm's are running on an underpowered physical machine. It otherwise works fine and never times anything out.

The problem is that I've set the monitor timeouts to 5 minutes but the actual timeout seems to be happening within 30 seconds of making the changes to the configuration, which is why I was wondering if the resource was reporting its own timeout.

I'm assuming that 5 nodes and 61 resources isn't a particularly big cluster?

Yes that's right.
