Description

How to Set It

Raise event?

Set to y to raise an event if a cluster group is not online or if a cluster-related API failure occurs. The default is y.

Collect data?

Set to y to collect data for charts and reports. The default is n. If enabled, data collection returns a value of:

  • 100 if the cluster resource group is online.

  • 50 if the group is partially online.

  • 0 if the cluster group is off-line.

  • -1 if the cluster group cannot be found.

Auto-start cluster resource group?

Set to y to automatically start the cluster resource group. The default is y.

List of cluster groups to be excluded

To exclude cluster groups from monitoring:

  • Specify the comma separated list of cluster groups to be excluded.

  • If a cluster group name is found across multiple severs, then all the matching cluster groups will be excluded.

  • If you want to exclude a cluster group only from a specific server, then specify the cluster group name along with the server name in the following format: server name|group name.

    Example: SERVER1|Group1, SERVER2|Group2
