Monitoring Clustered Server

  • Hi All,

    Could you please let me know what are the events to be monitored for a Active/Passive Cluster?

    Thanks in Advance.

  • The same ones you'd monitor on any other server. The only real addition is that if some event causes a failover, your monitoring needs to be able to capture the failover event. All the monitoring tools I'm familiar with do that fine.

  • Thanks Grant.

    Here they are not using any monitoring tool. A team will be assigned to built script or process for monitoring. A input has to go to that team about the event to be monitored.

    Monitoring the state of SQL Server Service would be enough?

  • Yeah, pretty much. You just need to know that it has failed over and that it's back online. No other special monitoring needed.

  • Thanks Grant. I had included below three parameters,

    •State of SQL Server Database Engine Windows Service in Active/Passive

    •State of SQL Server Agent Windows Service in Active/Passive

    •State of Windows Server Failover Cluster (WSFC) service
