Collecting from Clustered SQL server and Oracle applications

Collection from clustered SQL Server and Oracle applications requires a specific data collection configuration. Typically, when configuring a Host Discovery Policy, the IP address of the specific host/node should be configured in the policy for direct access to the host's data.

See Configure a Discovery policy.

In a clustered environment, however, the following configurations are required to gather the host data.

  • Host collection requires the IP address or host name of the Cluster (not the IP address or host name of the Cluster Node) in the Host Discovery Policy.

    See Figure: Host Discovery Policy Configuration Steps.

  • The Application Probe requires the IP address or host name of the Cluster (not the IP address or host name of the Cluster Node).

    See Figure: Application Probe Example.

    Note:

    If Cluster Nodes already have been discovered, they should be removed from the Host Inventory.
