Can I monitor both the active and passive node in a cluster with EventSentry, without receiving duplicate notifications from events in the event logs?

If you do not want to setup the EventSentry service as a cluster resource, then you can also reconfigure the cluster to disable the replication of event logs. You can disable the replication of event logs with the cluster.exe command-line utility.

To disable replication of event logs for the entire cluster, use the following syntax:

cluster /properties EnableEventLogReplication=0

To disable the replication of the event log from a single node of the cluster, use the following syntax:

cluster NODENAME /properties EnableEventLogReplication=0 (replace NODENAME with the computer name of that node).

It is recommended that you either configure EventSentry as a cluster resource OR disable the event log replication in all nodes of the cluster.
