File monitoring as a cluster service

Troubleshooting
1

CMK version: 2.3.0
OS version: Ubuntu 24.04

I have a fileserver which is built as a Windows failover cluster. So the Drive (D:) is only available over the cluster ip. This part was no problem and works fine.

But I also have a file on this drive which I wanted to monitor. So I added the file group check as a cluster service and in theory it seems to work fine, but it queries the wrong server. the check goes critical, because on “fs01” the file is not existens, which is ok, because “fs02” is the active server.
Here a screenshot of the problem:

Is there a way to fix this so that the check is checking the right server?

Thanks

You can try out the different options in the ‘Aggregation options for clustered services’ rule:

What I use on most clusters:
“Best node wins”

If you would also like to test whether the results are coming from the active / passive cluster:
“Best Node Wins” and “Preferred Node: fs02”
