## Symptoms

- * "cpstat_monitor" process runs only on "Active" Security Management Server in Management HA:

  Output of the "`cpwd_admin list`" command on the "Active" Security Management Server shows that this process is executing:

  ```
  
  [Expert@HostName:0]# cpwd_admin list | egrep "STAT|cpstat_monitor"
  APP        PID    STAT  #START  START_TIME             MON  COMMAND             
  CPSM       XXXX   E     1       [HH:MM:SS] MM/D/YYYY   N    cpstat_monitor
  [Expert@HostName:0]#
  ```

  Output of the "`cpwd_admin list`" command on the "Backup" Security Management Server shows that this process is terminated:

  ```
  
  [Expert@HostName:0]# cpwd_admin list | egrep "STAT|cpstat_monitor"
  APP        PID    STAT  #START  START_TIME             MON  COMMAND             
  CPSM       0      T     0       [HH:MM:SS] MM/D/YYYY   N    cpstat_monitor
  [Expert@HostName:0]#
  ```

* All other processes run on both Security Management Servers in Management HA (run the "`cpwd_admin list`" command).

## Cause

This is by design. When "Backup" Security Management Server becomes "Active" Security Management Server, then the "cpstat_monitor" process will be able to run.

Note: The "cpstat_monitor" process is responsible for collecting and sending information to SmartView Monitor.
