how to monitor an MS cluster via SNMP ?

daxvancamp1

I want to monitor our MS clusters via SNMP but I don't find any information which mibs I should use for this.

Has anyone an idea on how to do this ?

i haven't found any MS mibs on this myself. MS seems to not like using mibs but rather WMI.

i don't use the product IPMONITOR but i've read where someone uses it to monitor their MS cluster.

also here's a breif mention of a couple of solutions

if you have anything running around the clock to capture packets, i seem to recall a Multicast packet string the clusters would broadcast. this could be caught and trigger an alert.

good luck!

You could try using SNMP Informant. You install it on your systems and then there are a set of MIB's it opens up to you.

I should note that SNMP Informant does have a pack for MS Cluster Server but there is a cost associated with it.

I believe there is an APM template that can handle this. Haven't used it myself but plan on doing so.

of course, it means you'll need APM in your environment

Indeed, APM is able to monitor this ( via WMI ) but I haven't this module installed and there is also no business case available for an installation in the near future.

I'm trying to get it working via SNMP, I've read that there are SNMP mibs available but I don't find anything on how to enable this on a MS cluster.

I'll try to open an MS ticket for it :-)
