    One of our engineering teams has a cluster with a problematic member that for some reason they cannot remove so they have disabled it. I asked them if they knew a way for Solarwinds to detect if the disabled( paused ) member became active, which would cause problems with a dependent application. They didn't know. Would this template be able to to detect when a paused cluster member became active?

    Their words  "We can either add a monitor to check if the server is activated or unpaused in the windows cluster." but they don't know how. Any advice on this?
