__GENUS 2
__PROPERTY_COUNT 7
EventNewState 0
EventObjectName SERVERNAME
EventObjectPath MSCluster_Node.Name="SERVERNAME"
EventObjectType 2
EventTypeMajor 0
EventTypeMinor 1
TIME_CREATED 131043683820495693Do GENUS 2 and PROPERTY_COUNT 7 correlate to a node state?

Hello,
Cluster node status have three type: Up, Down, Paused. As far as I know Node State Monitor have three health state for those three status:
Node up Success Node paused/joining Warning Node down Error If you want to know the cluster node state, you can use Get-ClusterNode command also.

That's WMI information being returned from the agent.
Genus - A numeric value indicating whether the object is a class (1) or an instance (0)
Property_Count - The number of properties presented by the class. Seven in this case; EventNewState, EventObjectName, EventObjectPath, EventObjectType, EventTypeMajor, EventTypeMinor, and TIME_CREATED.
See the following source info on that: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa394584(v=vs.85).aspx
