Check status of cluster file share witness

I have two cluster nodes and one file share witness. How do I determine whether or not the cluster nodes are happy with the file share witness? And also the date/time that the node declared it was happy. I want to add an alert if/when the nodes lose access to the file share witness.

Get-ClusterQuorum doesn't tell me whether or not the connection is "healthy".

Thank you,

Chris

    Looks like Get-ClusterResource -Name "File Share Witness" | Select-Object * gets me what I want. I'm going to unplug the FSW and see if the state changes.

    Edit: sure enough about a minute after losing connection the State changed from Online to Failed.
