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

Here are the applicable sections from my pgpool.conf
- Backend Connection Settings -

backend_hostname0 = '10.12.1.225'

backend_weight0 = 1
backend_data_directory0 = '/postgres/data/pgdata'

backend_hostname1 = '10.12.1.61'

health_check_timeout = 5

health_check_password = ''

health_check_retry_delay = 1
connect_timeout = 10000
