1. A method of monitoring objects within an information technological (IT) network having (a) monitored nodes, at least one of which is a high-availability cluster having a first cluster node and a second cluster node, wherein at least one cluster package is running on the high-availability cluster and, when a failover condition is detected for the cluster package at the first cluster node, a failover to the second cluster node is initiated, and (b) a monitoring agent system having a first agent and a second agent associated with the first and second cluster nodes, respectively, said method comprising:

  • the monitoring agent system monitors the occurrence of events relating to the cluster package and generates event-related messages for a monitoring server;

    the first and second agents receive information indicating whether the cluster package is currently active on the first or second cluster node respectively;

    wherein, depending on said information, (a) the message generation relating to the cluster package is activated in the one of the first and second agents associated with the cluster node on which the cluster package is currently active and (b) the message generation relating to the cluster package is de-activated in the other one of the first and second agents associated with the cluster node on which the cluster package is currently inactive.
