Hi With the MS Cluster managment pack is there a way to have it create an alert when the cluster fails over? My client wants to know when the cluster resources failover. I have create a mp with the event id's for the cluster failover. But, was wondering why no alerts from the MS cluster MP. Thanks,

this kind of error are included into MP, are you sure that the cluster resource is under monitor?

Agree with S.Net Cluster MP has include the cluster fails over. You may refer http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/Strategies-Monitoring-Failover-Clusters-Part1.html for cluster monitoring. Roger

Yes, the cluster resource is monitored. I have the lastest cluster mp 6.0.6720.0. I'm trying to find the rule/monitor related to cluster failovers.. Just haven't found it. Would this be my issue below.. if no alerts are set at false? Name: Resource Group Availability Target: Cluster Node Hosted Cluster Resource Group Algorithm: BestOf Enabled: True Generate Alert: False

agent proxy are enable? by default the principal alerts are enabled. did you followed the link of Roger?

Yep, agent proxy is enabled. I've gone threw the article. I'm trying to find the alert that will tell me that the cluster has failed over.. Alright, So I've found two alerts each time the cluster fails over. 1204 and 1203. They are informational only notifications. I think if I find the rule for 1205 that should cover it..

what kind of application you want monitor? exchange? file server? windows version?

Everything under the sun.. Exchange 2003-2010 clusters, SQL clusters, File shares. OS 2003-2008r2.

The following event id may indicate cluster fail over occur Event ID 1200 is the cluster trying to come online. Event ID 1201 is the cluster comming online. Event ID 1203 is the cluster trying to go offline. Event ID 1204 is the cluster comming offline. roger

There are a couple of rules and monitors enabled by default for cluster failovers - even if they don't say Cluster Failover. You can look for the following rules for starters: Cluster resource failedResource Group FailedCluster physical disk resource cannot be brought online because the associated disk could not be found
