 * *node_name* is an identifier for every node.
 * *conninfo* is used to connect to the local PostgreSQL server (where the configuration file is) from any node. In the witness server configuration it is needed to add a 'port=5499' to the conninfo.
 * *master_response_timeout* is the maximum amount of time we are going to wait before deciding the master has died and start failover procedure.
+* *reconnect_attempts* is the number of times we will try to reconnect to master after a failure has been detected and before start failover procedure.
+* *reconnect_interval* is the amount of time between retries to reconnect to master after a failure has been detected and before start failover procedure.
 * *failover* configure behavior : *manual* or *automatic*.
 * *promote_command* the command executed to do the failover (including the PostgreSQL failover itself). The command must return 0 on success.
