Summary

This discovers instances of LS Synthetic Transaction Watcher Node class. An administrator needs to designate a server as a Synthetic Transaction Watcher node by setting the following registry key:

Software\Microsoft\Real-Time Communications\Health\IsSTWatcherNode = 1

Additional steps are required to configure the Synthetic Transaction Watcher node (for example: this server needs to be have a Trusted Server Entry (TSE) in the product). Please refer to Management Pack deployment guide for how to configure a Synthetic Transaction Watcher node.
