Issue/Introduction

Trying to monitor a pair of cluster nodes in redhat 6 environment with cluster probe 3.42, but encounter  "could not load the plugin" error when configuring it. 

 

 

Environment

UIM 8.5.x

cluster probe 3.42 redhat 6

Resolution

Only the clustat command is needed to configure the cluster probe for the Red Hat cluster.

The only way to get the cluster probe to run is running chmod u+s /usr/sbin/clustat with the root account, this will enable any user to use the clustat command to get the details of the cluster.

Also need to confirm the clustering is done from OS level as sometimes this is done on application level which cluster probe will not support .
