Cluster Monitor resources and associated settings
NOTE: Although Cluster Monitor is used for MSCS clusters only, the CPU and Disk thresholding functionality
for Cluster Monitor works for any cluster in which the cluster nodes are running HP Insight Management
Agents.
This version of HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) includes these node-level cluster monitor resources and
associated settings:
• CPU (see “Cluster Monitor polling rate” or “Cluster Monitor resource thresholds”)
• Disk (see “Cluster Monitor polling rate” or “Cluster Monitor resource thresholds” for clusters)
• System (see “Cluster Monitor polling rate” for nodes)
NOTE: See “Cluster resources supported by HP SIM” for information about the CPU utilization data.

Cluster Monitor polling rate
NOTE: You can specify only one polling rate (interval) for all nodes in all clusters . You cannot specify
different rates for different nodes, so the polling fields display on the configuration page only when you
select All in both the Cluster and Node dropdown lists.
CPU polling rate
The CPU polling rate determines how often Cluster Monitor checks CPU utilization as reported by the
appropriate HP Insight Management Agent on monitored nodes.
Adjust the CPU polling rate by configuring the Cluster Monitor node resource settings. See “Configuring
node resource settings” for more information.
Disk polling rate
The Disk polling rate determines how often Cluster Monitor checks the free disk space as reported by the
appropriate HP Insight Management Agent on monitored nodes.
Adjust the polling rate by configuring the Cluster Monitor node resource settings. See “Configuring node
resource settings” for more information.
MSCS status polling rate
The polling rate you enter determines how often Cluster Monitor checks the MSCS status of monitored clusters.
