Windows Cluster
Monitors and manages Windows Server clusters in Motadata AIOps, ensuring high availability, fault tolerance, and real-time visibility into cluster health, resources, and performance metrics.
Overview
The Windows Cluster integration in Motadata AIOps enables monitoring and management of Windows server clusters. By seamlessly integrating with Windows Failover Clustering technology, this feature ensures continuous availability and enhanced fault tolerance of critical applications and services. Administrators can closely monitor cluster health, failover events, and resource utilization to promptly respond to any potential disruptions, providing a robust and reliable infrastructure for their organization.
Prerequisites
If the server is part of a domain, you'll need to have credentials of a user that is a member of the domain admin group. For standalone servers, you'll need credentials of a user that is part of the local administrator group.
To ensure proper connectivity, it's important to allow traffic through firewall ports 5985 and 5986. Enable ICMP protocol on both ports to monitor availability via ping check.
Before integrating the Windows Server with the AIOPS product, some WinRM configurations need to be done. To do this, log in with the user for whom you'll be performing the discovery, open the command prompt as an administrator, and run the following commands:
winrm set winrm/config/service/Auth @{Basic="true"} winrm set winrm/config/service @{AllowUnencrypted="true"} winrm set winrm/config/winrs @{MaxMemoryPerShellMB="1024"} winrm set winrm/config/client/Auth @{Basic="true"} winrm set winrm/config/client @{AllowUnencrypted="true"} winrm set winrm/config/winrs @{MaxProcessesPerShell="2147483647"} winrm set winrm/config/winrs @{MaxConcurrentUsers="100"} winrm set winrm/config/service @{MaxConnections="50"} winrm set winrm/config/winrs @{MaxShellsPerUser="2147483647"} winrm set winrm/config/service @{MaxConcurrentOperationsPerUser="4294967295"} net stop winrm net start winrmConfirm that the Windows Cluster service is running on the specified server.
