HostMonitor in cluser environment

[rabiigor]

I would like to use the tool in cluster environment.
==============
1) Does the "performance counters" test works in different way in cluster environment
2)How can I configure HostMonitor to shutdown some processes on it close (for failover situation support)
Thanx in advance.

I do not think it works in different way. In cluster environment are available additionall performance objects, like "Compute Cluster" and "Compute Nodes", which allow you to monitor your cluster environment. Following article might be helpful: http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsse ... x?mfr=true
Beside "Performance Counter" test method, you may use "WMI" test method to monitor cluster environment: http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/tests.htm#wmi
Here is a list of WMI classes, that you may use within "WMI" test method to monitor your cluster: http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsse ... x?mfr=true

2)How can I configure HostMonitor to shutdown some processes on it close (for failover situation support)
Thanx in advance.

HostMonitor offers "Stop service", "Start service" and "Restart Service" actions to manage running services on local or remote machines: http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/acti ... topService
To terminate specified process, you may use "kill.exe" utility. "kill.exe" utility is supplied with HostMonitor's package and located in Utils/kill/ subfolder of HostMonitor's folder. That utility is designed for "Execute external program" action: http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/mfra ... htm#actPrg

I have understood your first answer , according to second one I probably have not succeeded to explain myself.
I need to perform some action when HostMonitor exists. The reason is : during failover process all my processes on first node should be terminated and I would like to add HostMonitor as the only resource in cluster administrator that would create all my processes on start-up , manage it during working time and shut-down it during failover process in order to allow new HostMonitor instance on second node to start new instances of my processes.
Thanx.

HostMonitor was not designed for such purpose. However you may try to use "Start action profile every time monitoring is stopped/paused" option located in "Pause monitoring/alerting" dialog window (menu Monitoring -> Pause). You may create alert profile and use "Execute external program" action to manage processes
