Abstract
Methods and apparatus for tightly-coupled external cluster monitoring are disclosed. A system includes a service-providing cluster with a first set of nodes, and a monitoring cluster with a second set of nodes. Nodes of the monitoring cluster comprise respective monitoring agents operable to issue probes to nodes of the service-providing cluster in accordance with a first cluster health monitoring policy, and generate a health check record of the service-providing cluster based on probe results. At least one node of the service-providing cluster comprises a meta-monitoring agent operable to generate a health check record indicative of a health state of the monitoring cluster based at least in part on a second cluster health monitoring policy.
