Retry a monitor X times before posting exception events

jkcy

The Application "Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2-2012 R2 Failover Cluster (Advanced)" has a component monitor that uses PowerShell to get up/down status. In my case this is the 'Cluster Network State' component monitor.  Few times a week this component detects down state of this component even though there is no exception indication on the monitored server.

In general, how can I make the component monitor retries say 3 times before announcing the exception state? Or is there a better approach that also applies to the other component monitors not limited to Powershell such as wmi, registry, etc?

There is not retry mechanism within the PowerShell script monitor itself. Retries would need to be coded into the script itself if so desired. Rather than retrying it may be more prudent to determine the cause of the false positive condition. What is the error returned by the component when it's in this false positive down state? I would recommend placing this application into debug mode and gathering a diagnostic immediately upon receiving the next false positive notification. Then open a case with support so we can determine the cause of the false positive.
