Microsoft Failover Cluster running Hyper-V is discovered via its cluster FQDN, or cluster virtual IP (VIP).

When the Create button is clicked, OneIQ Pulse will attempt to discover the specified hostname or IP address and check if the Microsoft Failover Cluster responds. The discovery process typically takes less than 10 minutes. During this time, OneIQ Pulse connects to the Microsoft Failover Cluster and attempts to login and identify the target endpoint.

If the endpoint is successfully discovered, OneIQ Pulse will

After a baseline of inventory and performance data is collected, OneIQ Pulse will switch the endpoint status to Collecting and continue gathering

Each operation usually takes less than minute, but may take longer in larger environments.

Best Practice: Check data collection after 3-4 hours to ensure that all endpoints are still being successfully monitored.
