1.3 How AppManager Can Help

AppManager for Microsoft Cluster Server provides several Knowledge Scripts designed to give you a comprehensive view of how MSCS performs. The capabilities of the Knowledge Scripts in the MSCS category include:

  • Monitoring Microsoft Windows Event Log entries created by Microsoft Cluster Server.

  • Detecting when a cluster resource group is not online and attempting to bring it online automatically.

  • Detecting when the cluster group owner changes.

  • Verifying the status of a cluster node, network, or a network interface.

  • Verifying whether the cluster resource is online and attempting to bring it online automatically.

  • Detecting when the cluster resource owner changes.

You can set thresholds that specify the boundaries of optimal performance, and instruct AppManager to raise events when those thresholds are breached.
