How to monitor Windows failover cluster

[amitw]

Hi,
I'm looking for a plugin to monitor windows failover cluster and also a way to monitor the cluster application services.

i have 2 servers that are part of the cluster and a service, for an example appSyncService that obviously is running on the master node.
is it possible to configure a service check that will know which is the preferred cluster node and where the service should run and I won't see a critical state the second service that is obviously down on the second node.

Thanks,

Amit

Configuring the checks to hostname resolvable by whichever node happens to be the master would be one possibility, but I would try going with running checks on both nodes and using BPI to group the hosts/services and alert if both nodes go critical at the same time. https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... BPI_v2.pdf covers configuring BPI.

Thanks for the answer.
I'm using nagios core and i cannot configure a BPI group.
unless i can but i dont know how

you could build your own plugin to wrap around existing ones for your windows need, and compare the logic - this will work.

another option is looking at an existing plugin such as check_multi - https://github.com/flackem/check_multi

There is also this document for using BPI with core:
