Home Forums SQL Server 2008 SQL Server 2008 Administration How can we DBAs get alerts when SQL resources don't come online after a cluster failover ? RE: How can we DBAs get alerts when SQL resources don't come online after a cluster failover ?

  • Which of the resources are you talking about? i.e. just the SQL Services or more than that?

    For example if the cluster failed over, SQL server and the Agent starts but there is issues with specific shared storage drives not coming online?

    Three options you could consider is something like:

    1. SCOM http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_Center_Operations_Manager

    2. SPLUNK http://www.splunk.com/

    3. Using a powershell script to monitor the event logs \ cluster management ran via windows scheduler.

    The first two are monitoring products and you have to pay for them, the last is free but you will need to design the code yourself.
