Cluster resource monitor
When using Microsoft clustering services you might want to monitor cluster specific object like
cluster resources, groups and nodes. MonitorMagic supports Microsoft Clustering service for
Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000. If you want to use this functionality, you must have at least
one computer that runs Microsoft Clustering service.
The cluster resource monitor is used to check specific characteristics of a cluster resource.
MonitorMagic uses a monitor for each cluster resource you choose to monitor. They can be
managed together or on an individual basis.
You can create cluster resource monitors directly or by using a monitor policy. It is recommended
to create cluster resource monitors by using monitor policies.
