SharePoint monitoring

H'mmm, come to think of it, this could be iControl-ish after all.

 

 

You could write an external monitor that did something like the following (assumption: sites are identically represented across the breadth of the cluster):

 

 

o configure a class containing the list of sites to monitor for a specific pool

 

o create an external monitor/pool with the class name as an argument

 

o write an ECV

 

 

The ECV would look something like the following:

 

o query the class via iControl

 

o check each of the specified sites sequentially with the monitor

 

printing something and exiting at your first success

 

 

Needless to say, you wouldn't want to do this too often and you need to set your monitor interval and timeouts high enough to allow N queries. . .where N == number of entries in the class.

 

 

This is all dreamt up in the last 5-10 minutes so it's likely this is a horrible idea.
