Clustered Environment Monitoring

In a non-clustered SiteMinder deployment, a Monitor process is located on the same system as the Policy Server. The Monitor user interface and the SNMP provide information for a single Policy Server. To monitor a cluster, the Policy Servers in the cluster must be configured to point to a single Monitor process. The Policy Server Management Console allows you to specify a Monitor process host.

Consider the following when implementing a monitoring in a clustered environment:

• The network channel between a Policy Server and a Monitor process is non-secure.
• If the Monitor process fails, all monitoring stops. If the Monitor host is disconnected, the monitoring stops.
• Monitoring through SNMP is supported for a cluster.

Note: By not enabling clustering, all servers are in the default cluster. Centralized monitoring can be enabled for non-clustered environments.
