We recommend the following approach for monitoring clusters:
- Install the up.time the Uptime Infrastructure Monitor agent on each cluster node and add those agents to up.timeUptime Infrastructure Monitor.
- Add the shared cluster IP to up.time as a Virtual Node type.
To monitor cluster performance at the OS level, use the agent metrics provided by each cluster node. To monitor application performance across the cluster, add appropriate agent-based monitors to each cluster node (e.g. Exchange, SQL Server, etc.). Note that application monitors can not cannot be added to the virtual node, they must be added to each cluster node individually.
