The Failover Cluster Management snap-in also provides a Recent Cluster Events option that will query all of the Error and Warning events from all of the cluster nodes in the last 24 hours. This feature is helpful in correlating events across cluster nodes. Windows Server 2008 does not replicate the event logs between nodes however, the Failover Cluster Management snap-in has a Cluster Events option that enables you to view and filter events across all cluster nodes.
This simplified cluster troubleshooting, because you could review all event logs on a single cluster node. In previous Windows Server versions, event logs were replicated to each node in the cluster.
Informational-level events are usually common cluster operations, such as cluster nodes leaving and joining the cluster, or resources going offline or coming online.įor more information, see 'Failover Clustering Help: View Events and Logs for a Failover Cluster' When problems arise in the cluster, use the Event Viewer to view events with a Critical, Error, or Warning severity level.Īdditionally, informational level events are logged to the Failover Clustering Operations log, which can be found in the Event Viewer in the Applications and Services Logs\Microsoft\Windows folder. ■ Found in: Applications and Services Logs\Microsoft\ Windows\FailoverClustering
