This rule uses script to discover all Windows Clustering instances of all types.

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

This is main discovery for Virtual Server instance where Virtual Server is defined as cluster resource group with Network Name and IP Address resources present.

Configuration

This discovery allows excluding some cluster resource groups when overriding "ExcludeServers" with list of groups separated by semicolon (;). Also "Agent Proxy" needs to be enabled on every health service running on physical cluster node.
