Please find the attached Monitor Pack for MS Exchange. This pack does not contain any Auto Remediation and this can be added after import and adding Tasks to the rules. The Monitor Pack monitors all MS Exchange Windows Services, all MS Exchange Critical NT Events and various Performance Counters. Please feel free to increase the content of this Monitor Pack and upload later for other customers to use.
Hi Zarba,
I now see what you are doing, we normally used the Cluster Service to determine the Active Node. You are looking to monitor that service and use another method on determining the Active Cluster Node detection. I have been looking into this and have not found many optionsright now but i will continue to look further.
Checking possible options:
Registry Key
File Exists
WMI
Hopefully i will be able to find something that will assit. Let me know how your research goes also.
I need a detection rule to identify the active node of a cluster and be able to monitor a clustered services in the active node
Hi Zarba please find screenshot on the detections rules possible. Please let me know if you are looking for something more than detections rules for this. I would be gratefull to know more about your needs in this area.
Kind Regards,
Yes i know, and usually detectin rule is "Windows cluster service is running".
In that case you should then use the Detections Policy Rules to check for the Active Server Only. Monitor Solution has a rich rule detection feature that you can find in the main policy window. It allows you to check for Services, Registry settings, Files etc....
We use this in the MS Pack for Windows Cluster. The same method can be used for MS Exchange.
It means the policy will be downloaded to the Exchange Server but will not apply until the detection rule is true.
Please let me know if this helps.
In your monitor pack you have some rules to check exchange windows service.
If exchnage is installed in a cluster envirinmente active-passive how you avoid check on passive node?
