Once the SQL listener is configured in a SQL Server Always On Availability Group, it also becomes a cluster resource. That in the failover cluster manager under roles it should be listed. Is this true?
If it is true what would cause the listener not to show up as a cluster resource if it is configured. The listener name does work.

That in the failover cluster manager under roles it should be listed. Is this true?
Not under the roles, because listener is not a role but a resource as per WSFC. It would be listed in resource tab of AG name.
If it is true what would cause the listener not to show up as a cluster resource if it is configured. The listener name does work.
It should ideally. Did you check at right place. For my 2 node AG it shows as below
Yes, thank you. I see it there. I was confused by what I read.
Hi @Lehr, Sherry (work) ,
As Shashank mentioned, when you create a listener, it becomes a cluster resource with an associated virtual network name, virtual IP, and availability group dependency. Please refer to this article which might help.
