Abstract
A method and system in a server cluster for monitoring and controlling a resource object, such as a physical device or application. A cluster service connects to a resource monitoring component to control and monitor the health of one or more resource objects. The resource component includes a plurality of methods, common to all such resource components, for calling by the resource monitor to control and monitor operation of the resource object therethrough. The common methods enable the cluster server to treat all resources similarly without regard to the type of resource.
