Credentials to management pack templates - Service monitoring

Hello,
I'm trying to see the list of services in a server to use the "management pack templates" in scom 2012 r2, but i'm getting the following error.
My action account don't have the necessary permitions to enter in the server. Where can i change the credentials to be used in this operation?
Thank you,
Rui

From my experience in monitoring Windows Service, we should provide a service name and it is a easy way if we can select a service in another computer from slect windows service dialog box. In reality, our user account has no privileges in opening Service
Control Manager on target computer. My workaround solution is asked user to provide the service name. User can dump the service name by double click the service in services console.

Service monitoring is not showing all the services when i create a service monitor under Management pack templates.

Hi All,
I am using SCOM 2007 R2 CU4 in my environment. I want to do a service monitoring on specific agents. When i try creating this service monitor which comes under the Management pack template when i select the service which i want to monitor it does not
show all the services in the drop down.
For example - I have Windows audio service which is present on the machine, But it is not showing in the service list.
So from the services stating from "W" i see only 5 in SCOM and in services.msc in the Agent i see more than 5.
Below is the screen shot.
Can any one please help.

Hi Yan Li,
So based on your above suggestion, If the services are already managed / monitored by a specific
management pack those services will not appear here in the Wizard while creating this type of a Management pack object alert right ?
If that is the case why does not the same reflect here in the operations console in the Services monitor
TAB ?

Management Pack Templates - Unix/Linux Service template error

Hello,
When I try to run this template I get the following error.
The Page [Microsoft.SystemCenter.CrossPlatform.UI.Authoring.ServiceTemplate.ServiceStateProbePage] in the assembly [Microsoft.SystemCenter.CrossPlatform.UI.Authoring] could not be loaded. Please make sure that hte account you are running under has
sufficient privileges to load the given assembly, or the management pack that defines this page is installed or hte assembly containing the page is in hte path of the executable or that the page derives from known Operations Manager page type.
I tried this from my Computer and the Management server with the same result. My account is in the Ops Admin role and I have no issues creating any of the other templates.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
Walter

Just I case anyone else runs across this.
The Online Catalogue UNIX/Linux MPs are only for SCOM 2007 R2. With SCOM 2012 and above we went with Management Pack Bundles [MPBs] and the Online Catalogue does not support them. To get the latest MPs and agents for UNIX/Linux on SCOM 2012 you need to go
to the Microsoft Download Center and search for "System Center 2012 Monitoring Pack for UNIX and Linux Operating Systems". The current release is UR2 which can be found here -->
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29696
This release includes the following:
4/9/2013 - Update release - version 7.4.4119.0 - includes agents with version: 1.4.1-270
The Microsoft.Unix.Service.Library.mp is installed by default with SP1 and we don't expect it to be uninstalled. The Update Releases [UR] only contain MP/Bs that have changed so Rob is correct in that the only place you will find this MP is with the SCOM
2012 SP1 RTM release.

Cisco Unified Operations Manager v Cisco Service Monitor

I am unfamiliar with both od these products. Both seem to overlap in that they seem to aim for end to end voice quality management, relying on the 1040 probe.
Am I off base here? Are they similar products, one or both maybe OEM'd???
Are they widely deployed?
Any thoughts welcome.
Regards

Hi Gordon,
They are very much complimentary. In fact, installing OM used to install SM by default on same box.
OM doesn't collect info from the 1040 probes. SM does this, and then alerts to OM if thresholds are breached.
OM will then display the alert.
Operations Manager is very much about actively monitoring the health of the UC environment. Here's a couple of practical examples of what it does:
- Maps out a logical view of the environment
- Performs scheduled tests - checks CM reg, dial tone, TFTP
- Simulates calls with both synthetic phones and even real phones
- Interactive tests - check phone features are working etc
- Performance management - view utilisation of GW's CM's etc.
- IP SLA - simulated calls, jitter testing across the network using routers / switches and IP SLA features
- Alert monitoring - dashboard view
Service Monitor is very focussed on measuring the actual user experience of calls.
- It can use CDR / CMR records (with no 1040 HW sensors deployed) to record, and monitor the quality of individual calls
- It can also use the 1040 HW sensors to collect more granular call quality details.. (it sends the details to SM via syslog constantly)
- Report and alert on call quality based on thresholds (Alerts are sent to OM and appear in your alerts window)
The only real overlap I would say is that OM does some quality tests with IP SLA, but it is based on synthetic calls rather than working with data about real calls.
There is also another module, Unified Service Statistics Monitor, I'd recommend looking at this too, it provides the historical component, and also a variety of different reporting - including service levels and executive style dashboards.
I've done a few deployments. Standard network management principles apply, and I think this is where a lot of them fall down. No product can manage your network for you automatically, the biggest part is people and process. Once you have this in place you can definitely use products like OM, SM to automate and simplify.
The larger and more complex your network, the more valuable and useful these products can become.
My recommendation is to get the eval copy, and try them out. You do need to think carefully about what you want to achieve though, without this step, an install of these products probably won't impress. The art is all about the setup.
Cheers,
Tim

UCS Management Pack for System Center 2012 OpsMgr add monitor wizard error

We're successfully using the 2.6.0.179 version of the UCS Management Pack for System Center 2012 Operations Manager in our 2012 SP1 OpsMgr environment; however, in the new 2012 R2 OpsMgr environment we've stood-up and in which we installed the 2.6.2.0 version of the UCS MP, we're getting an error when trying to run the Add Monitoring Wizard under the Management Pack Templates node of the Authoring pane. We get the same error from the 2.6.1.0 version of the UCS MP as well. The text of the error is as follows:
"The page [Cisco.UCS.MP.UI.Proxy.Template.Page.ProxyDetailsPage] in the assembly [Cisco.UCS.MP.UI.Culture="",PublicKeyToken="6c96076cdf2c87a",Version="2.6.0.0"] could not be loaded. Please make sure that the account you are running under has sufficient privileges to load the given assembly, or the management pack that defines this page is installed or the assembly containing the page is in the path of the executible or that the page derives from known Operations Manager page type."
I'm an admin user in OpsMgr, so this should not be a user privilege issue, and that leaves the MP itself. The fact that a 2.6.0.0 version is mentioned makes me wonder if the base version of the MP must be installed before the 2.6.2 version. I'd test this, but we no longer have that version, and its no longer available for download from Cisco that I can see.
Has any dealt with this issue successfully, or have any insight into the problem?

Solved...the requirement is that you must do the MP configuration from the SCOM console on the SCOM Management Server where you installed the Cisco UCS MP; you can't do it from a SCOM console on a remote computer like I was trying to do.

Are we missing any Management Packs for newly installed services/applications

Hello!
Would it be possible to get a report or alarm when new server roles, services, applications etc. are installed on the monitored Windows Servers in SCOM 2012 SP1, but there are no Management Packs installed to monitor the new services?
For example on a newly provisioned Windows Server, the customer installs SQL 2008, but we don’t have the SQL 2008 SCOM Management Pack. How can we get a notification that we have a new Service installed there but no MP to monitor it.

Hi,
Based on my knowledge, it’s a little difficult.
I recommend you use SCOM to monitor a txt which create by sc query command.

SCOM 2012 R2 Management Packs for monitoring IBM Tivoli

Are there management packs available to monitor IBM Tivoli through SCOM 2012 R2?
If yes, what all components in IBM Tivoli family can be monitored?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I think if there is any Management Pack for IBM Tivoli, then this Management Pack should be provided by IBM, and this may be fee-based also, I would like to suggest you contact IBM for this.
And hope the below link be helpful:

How to create Service Monitor - best Way

I have a task at hand :
Creating monitor to alert when a service is stopped.
We are using SCOM 2012
I checked and found various ways to do so http://www.bictt.com/blogs/bictt.php/2011/03/16/scom-monitoring-a-service-part1
My requirement is : there are like 100 such services on 100 different windows computers that i need to monitor.
The services are not common , so 2 computers have the same service , Maybe some service that i need to be monitored be on 2 computers but overall every service is unique.
What is my best option:
1.Create a basic unit monitor and target to Windows computer class ? Create is as disabled ? Override for just the machine that has it.
Will it clutter my Windows Server class health explorer . (How bad is that as per performance)
2.Create a Service monitor using Windows Service templates
Do i have to create 100 target groups , as i have to Target the monitor to specific computer only
Since template service monitor create discoveries , targets etc on its own (Am i going to clutter SCOM with a lot of those) 100
3.Do i create a attribute for each service , so as to extend the windows base class to discover the computer that has specific service (Using registry)
too much work is it and how good of an option is this.
4.MP Authoring ,Create new class discovery based on WMI / Registry to find computer and then target the monitor
What would you do in such a case.

An example is the windows service monitoring from the Windows Management Packs. Microsoft does not discover any of these services. The MPs discover the Windows 2003 \ 2008 \ 2012 Operating System Class and the basic service monitors are targetted at
this class. This means it is relatively light weight monitoring (less overhead on the agent and less discovery information in the databases) but it does mean that you can't add any of these services to a distributed application or report on their availability.
You don't report on individual monitors but on objects which may have many monitors targetted at them.

If you want to actually report on the availability of this windows service (or add it to a Distributed Application) then you do need to discover it - either via the Authoring Template or authoring your own discoveries.
Only you can decide what you need and you might have a different need for each service depending on what it is doing.
Jonathan Almquist has a good walk through here about how to change service monitoring to allow for consecutive occurrences of a service being unavailable but it is deep authoring.

Windows Service Monitor - False Alerts

Scenario : We have a custom Service Monitor that is created long back and enabled for all Servers. I just noted that the service is not present in all servers except few. I also noticed that there are some Overrides for 5 servers which does
not make any sense to me as it was overridden to enable this monitor.
Issue : Now the issue is, I got alerts for 5 servers for which the service is not installed at all. How is that possible ?
S.Arun Prasath HP ARDE TEAM

HOw to you create this service monitor?
You can create your service monitor either
1) From Authoring workspace --> Management pack Templates --> Windows services
http://www.bictt.com/blogs/bictt.php/2011/03/17/scom-monitoring-a-service-part3
OR
2) Authoring workspace --> Monitors
http://www.bictt.com/blogs/bictt.php/2011/03/17/scom-monitoring-a-service-part2
You understanding is correct if you using method 1) to create service monitor. Otherwise, you should enable the monitor for computer which has te service present.

Exchange 2010 Management Pack Data Warehouse Synchronization Fails

Hi Everyone!
Has anyone had success with importing the Exchange 2010 management pack into Service Manager 2012?
When we try to import it, it fails.
Upon further investigation, the 'System Center Core Monitoring' management pack (which is not included with Service Manager 2012) is a dependency of the Exchange 2010 management pack but
after we import it from the OpsMgr 2012 media, we still get the following warning when we import the Exchange 2010 management into Service Manager 2012...
"The management pack was imported successfully.
Warnings (1):
Override verification failed, cannot find Management Pack Element : : Cannot find ManagementPackElement [Type=ManagementPackRule, ID=Microsoft.SystemCenter.Agent.MonitoringHost.PrivateBytesThreshold] in management pack ManagementPack:[Name=Microsoft.SystemCenter.2007,
KeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35, Version=6.0.6246.0]."
...and, the Exchange 2010 management pack status in the Service Manager 2012 Data Warehouse 'Management Pack' view indicates 'failed' after the MPSyncJob completes.
We have a few 'Business Services' which depend on the Exchange 2010 management pack that we are trying to synchronize from OpsMgr 2012 and we are stuck until we can get the Exchange 2010 management
successfully imported into Service Manager 2012 and have it show a status of 'Completed' the Service Manager 2012 Data Warehouse 'Management Pack' view.
Nothing useful in the
Service Manager 2012 Data Warehouse and Management servers events logs that we could see.
Any help or guidance would be GREATLY appreciated!
Regards,
JJ

Update: I Just tested with CU2 installed for SrvMgr 2012 and OpsMgr 2012 and version 14.3.38.2 of the Exchange 2010 management, but the management pack still fails to deploy to the SrvMgr 2012 data warehouse (the management pack status shows
up as 'failed' and the MPSyncJob shows the management pack as 'pending association'). The only clue I have for this problem is the folllowing warning which occurs when I import the management pack into SrvMgr 2012...
I also get the following 33519 Event ID warning in the Operations Manager event log on the data warehouse server...
~~~~~
Management pack association ignored. This does not require any action. If you continue to frequently see this warning, contact your administrator. This process will continue to retry.
Management pack ID: e2296ed5-ddbc-ebc7-3881-c5288adaa7cf
Management pack name: Microsoft.Exchange.2010
Management pack version: 14.3.38.2
Data source name: SRV
Message: Either the MP has failed deployment Or any of its references has failed deployment
~~~~~
Has anyone had success with getting the Exchange 2010 management pack imported and successfully deployed to the SrvMgr 2012 data warehouse?
The good news is that even though the Exchange 2010 management pack has a status of failed, the distributed applications in OpsMgr 2012 that depend on the Exchange management pack now show up under Configuration Items/Business Services including
all related service component objects which was what I was trying to accomplish in the first place, so for now I'll just leave the Exchange 2010 management pack in the data warehouse with a failed status.

JJ

Custom (not HP's) EVA storage management pack

Hello,
I have found this management pack
http://www.systemcentercentral.com/pack-catalog/hp-eva-performance-management-pack-v3/ for monitoring HP EVA P6000, thanks for authors, but discoveries are not working, I have SCOM 2012 R2 and HP CommandView is on Win2008R2, I have imported both MPs,
installed agent on CommandView server, also checked registry entries, just in case restarted scom agent, but in the Monitoring pane there is not data about EVA disks, could you please help?

Hi,
did you read EvaPerf MP guide. You have some prerequisites?
1. You must create the c:\temp folder on the
HP StorageWorks Command View (EVAPerf) server
2. In the document under Optional Configuration see how to register friendly names for EVA.
3 Most important:
EVAPERF Discovery is disabled by default. It’s a seed (base) discovery for all other objects. You must enable this discovery with override to discover any other class instances that
are defined in in EVA Performance Management Pack v3.
So follow the guide and you should configure MP with no problems.
Hope it helps,
Janez
Hello, yes, before posting I did 1 and 3, but I did not specify friendly name, this is optional I think?

"one or more management packs which are ready to install present a security risk are you sure you want to continue"

Hello
I am installing the following MP (for Windows Client OS)
http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/confirmation.aspx?id=15700
Into a new SCOM 2012 R2 environment
When I go to import the MPs, I receive the following warning
"one or more management packs which are ready to install present a security risk are you sure you want to continue"
Is this normal?
why am I getting this message?
Should I continue to install any way?
Thanks All
AAnotherUser__
AAnotherUser__

It's normal. You will receive a prompt indicating that the management pack presents a security risk. This is due to the management pack’s use of agent proxying. Click
Yes to allow the import.
That's happened in Exchange management pack or SQL Management pack to can monitor all virtual hosts.
Yes, you should continue to install Management pack.

Hi,
If you are looking for SCOM cluster way to monitor Gen8 Server, then we can build multi management servers within the management group, or create multi management groups to monitor Gen8 server.

Do we need both management Pack and ADP for monitoring SOA suite 11g

Hi,
Do we need to Both management pack and ADP (OCAMM) Application Dependancy and Performance for monitoring SOA Suite 11g.
I was creating a monitoring template for SOA Composite and SOA Infrastructure and wanted to know if I need to install additional ( management packs, ADP and Middleware Plugins ) packs to get an effective template.

A management pack generally refers to the set of pages in EM Grid/Cloud Control which provide functionality for a given set of target types. Since EM Grid Control 11g, the ADP functionality has been part of the Grid Control release and the pages licensed via the Management Pack Plus for SOA or the SOA Management Pack EE.
To populate the ADP pages with data, additional steps must be performed in order to deploy an ADP manager and ADP agents. Doing this is optional, depending on whether or not you require the additional capability that those pages provide.
ADP data, however, are collected and stored separately from the core GC/CC metrics and are not related to the monitoring template functionality.
