Configuring Microsoft Cluster Server monitoring
You must configure the Monitoring Agent for Microsoft Cluster Server so that the agent can collect the cluster server data. Use the silent response file to configure the agent.
Before you begin
Ensure that you complete the following tasks:
- Create an empty resource group for the agent.
- Create a generic service cluster resource in the resource group of the agent on Windows Server 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2019 systems.
- Ensure that the user, who connects to the Microsoft Cluster Server environment or application,
has administrator privileges. Use an existing user with administrator privileges, or create a new
user. Assign administrator privileges to the new user by adding the new user to the Administrators group.Remember: To configure the Microsoft Cluster Server agent, you can use a local or a domain user provided that the user has administrator privileges.
Review hardware and software prerequisites. For the up-to-date system requirement information, see the Software Product Compatibility Reports (SPCR) for the Microsoft Cluster Server agent.
The product version and the agent version often differ. The directions here are for the most current release of this agent. For information about how to check the version of an agent in your environment, see Agent version command. For detailed information about the agent version list and what's new for each version, see the Change history.
