Which component does the CVM primarily monitor on the Passive Node?

The CVM, or Centralized Vault Manager, plays a vital role in the monitoring of the architecture of CyberArk's High Availability (HA) system. Specifically, its primary function on the Passive Node is to track the status of the Active Node. This is crucial because the Passive Node is designed to take over seamlessly if the Active Node fails. By continuously monitoring the Active Node's health and status, the CVM ensures downtime is minimized and the system can achieve rapid recovery.

Monitoring client sessions, internet connectivity, or user login attempts, while important in their own right, falls outside the scope of the CVM's primary responsibilities regarding the Passive Node. These aspects are handled by other components within the CyberArk system, which focus on security measures or access controls rather than the failover and operational readiness of the nodes within the High Availability setup.
