How to capture the exact failover time to another node in FCI

  • Hello Experts

    Can you please tell me how to find the exact time cluster took to failover to another node from existing?

    What are the typical places other than eventviewer I can check to get the time recorded? Does cluster.log file help?

    Please suggest.

    Thanks in advance!!!

    Thanks.

  • You could create a database job that executes when SQL Server starts up. Create a step to fire a procedure, which could record the current date and time, send you an email or do whatever else you wanted to record the event.

    In Windows 2008 above the cluster.log does not exist, it can be created for support purposes with a static dump of the cluster events.

    To monitor cluster events use the Applications and services logs viewer within the Event viewer console.

    Event id 1201 for a cluster role coming online, event id 1204 for a role going offline.
