Insight Manager 7 generates subsystem and component views through direct access
to networked devices by means of a standard Web browser, offering customers a
quick and convenient way to diagnose system status.
Insight Manager 7 and Cluster Monitor helps you focus on your computing
environment from the perspective of Microsoft Cluster software clusters and their
attributes.
Cluster Monitor
Cluster Monitor is a Web-based monitoring subsystem for Insight Manager 7. With
Cluster Monitor, you can view all clusters from a single browser and configure
monitor points and specific operational performance thresholds that alert you when
these thresholds have been met or exceeded on your application systems. Cluster
Monitor relies heavily on the Insight Manager 7 Web-enabled agents for basic
information about system health. It also has custom agents that are designed
specifically for cluster health. Cluster Monitor provides access to the Insight
Manager 7 alarm, device, and configuration information.
Cluster Monitor has three distinct informational areas that can be used to meet
individual operational needs:
•
•
•
•
•
•
A problem window with a prioritized cluster event list sorted by severity for the
clusters that are under the administrator’s control
A topology tree displaying all clusters and their respective monitor points,
including Microsoft Cluster software health, processor, bus, disk, or network
usage and performance thresholds
A detailed problem definition based on monitored conditions and a proposed
resolution to the problem, if one can be determined, with drill-down ability to the
specific device or system causing a negative or unstable cluster state and the
ability to perform corrective actions
Cluster Monitor management information includes:
