Exchange Cluster Help Needed

All;

I am monitoring a Microsoft Exchange cluster (4 servers), and am only expected to see a pair of these running all services, not all four.  I'd like to set a condition whereby Exchange goes RED only if the active, or other pair, is red as well.

Here are the two processes that go RED on the inactive pair:

"Microsoft Exchange Information Store"
"Microsoft Exchange System Attendant"

My clients are using a BigBrother agent, and my server is Xymon latest.

Thank you,

.vp

Hi,

Are you using an external script to monitor those services ? Or just the
ones includes in Xymon (ports, procs, smtp...) ?
In 1st case, I think you should add your conditions in order to get a
correct status.
In the other case, you can use SCRIPT to get a status for several tests
results.
Take a look here :

Sorry , I was a little drunk maybe, I didn't mean "SCRIPTS" but something
like STATUS MAP.
