Is a failover logged in Cluster.log? If so, what text would be recorded?

Thank you.

Yes, failover is logged in the cluster log on the node where the group is
going offline, and on the node where it is coming online. It's not really
easy to spot if this is your first attempt to review the cluster.log.

I would recommend instead looking thru the System Event log. You can monitor
the system event log for these event IDs:

1069 - Generic error indicating a cluster resource has failed
1205 - Cluster failed to bring a group completely online or offline
1204 - Cluster brought a Group offline
1203 - Cluster is attempting to offline a group
1201 - Cluster successfully brought a group online
1200 - Cluster is attempting to online the group

Hope this helps.
