+    Under pressure, the default monitor timeout value of 20 seconds is not
+    enough to prevent unnecessary failovers of the ovn-dbs pacemaker resource.
+    While spawning a few VMs in the same time this could lead to unnecessary
+    movements of master DB, then re-connections of ovn-controllers (slaves are
+    read-only), further peaks of load on DBs, and at the end it could lead to
+    snowball effect. Now this value can be configurable by dbs_timeout in
+    tripleo::profile::pacemaker::ovn_dbs_bundle and by default is set to 60s.
