2.4 Use Case 4: Monitoring Behavior at
Orchestrate Server Failover and Failback
The PlateSpin Orchestrate Monitoring Server and the Monitoring Agent are installed on the same
server as the PlateSpin Orchestrate Server in the high availability PlateSpin Orchestrate cluster. The
Monitoring Agent reports data to the PlateSpin Orchestrate Monitoring Server, and the Orchestrate
VM Client provides access to the charts created from the monitoring data.
The Monitoring Server and the Monitoring Agent services are made highly available along with the
Orchestrate Server and move between clustered machines as the Orchestrate Server does. If a
monitoring agent is installed on an Orchestrate Server and if that server goes down, the server is
displayed as “Down” in the Orchestrate VM Client (Monitoring view).
