MOM monitoring software

  • Does anyone here uses MS MOM to monitors their SQL Servers? I got an issue in the clustering environment where the passive node trying to access the disk drives but are owned by the active node. As a result, it keeps alerting that the drive, such as the Quorum volume, is low on disk space. Should MOM software be smart enuff to recognize the cluster environment or there some configuration that was setup wrong? Please advise.. thanks..

  • Don't use it here, but the MS Operations team uses it extensively for the MS.com site. If this is an issue, I'd bet that custom scripting is used to get around it.

    Are you monitoring the clustered server or each individual server?

  • It's configure to monitor all servers in a domain that match a criteria such as:

    (AttributeValue(SQL Server 2000))

    In this way, all the SQL servers will have an agent install to communicate with the MOM server for notification. So both the passive and active node will have this agent running and the passive is reporting the wrong info for the diskspace. Unfortunately, we can't disable the agent from the passive in case the active failover.
