Enable Audit Trail on that secondary machine, now the new Primary/Principal machine.
-
Run the following stored procedure on the SQL Server for the new Primary/Principal machine: EXEC dbo.usp_audit_verify_monitor_job_exists N'PIFD';
The command will create the OSIsoft Monitor CDC (PIFD) SQL job.

Repeat for each secondary machine.
