Use this Knowledge Script to detect whether the owner of a cluster resource has changed. Changes in the ownership of a resource typically indicate a failover or failback operation has taken place. This script raises an event if the owner of the cluster resource changes or if a cluster-related API failure occurs.
Both the event and data detail message indicate the previous cluster resource owner and the new resource owner.
