Monitor Non-Paged Pool Usage SCOM 2012 R2

Has anyone figured out an effective method of monitoring non-paged memory pools.
My hope is to build a monitor that can determine max pool size and alert when non-paged pool usage is >= 90% of that maximum.
I've done some research on the subject, with the most relevant TechNet article being http://blogs.technet.com/b/markrussinovich/archive/2009/03/26/3211216.aspx.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
As we know, there is a performance counter for non-paged memory:
\memory\pool nonpaged bytes:
Low on Pool NonPaged memory
- less than 40% available (If the systems exceeds more that 60% of the Pool Non-paged bytes memory pool, then consider removing the /3GB switch or consider migrating to a 64-bit system.
Critically low on Pool NonPaged memory – less than 20% available (If the system exceeds 80% of the Pool Non-paged bytes memory pool. If so, consider removing the /3GB switch or consider migrating to a 64-bit system.
There is a rule to collect this performance, we can find it and enable it by overriding:

Z77 G45 Gaming - Memory leak (Non-paged pool)

Good day MSI forum.
I recently bought this motherboard of yours, and it's working great. As the title says, I am having a memory leak of some sort. I've been doing all kinds of googeling, using poolmon trying to locate the error and so on, but I am not educated enough in this area to know what I am really doing!
What me and my frined managed to find out so far:
1. When I download something, or when I upload youtube with max pixels (more upload then), the non-paged pool meter just rises as if he was to climb the mount everest!
2. When I disabeled the Killer 2200 driver, (killed the EXE file in my task manager) the memory started to leak A LOT slower.
3. Over the course of 24 hours with no downloading, just youtube music streaming and online games being ran, it can leak up to 1000mb. (While downloading it does 1000mb in 1 hour). It was basically the same speed of my download - 1MB downloaded > 1 MB leaked - so in conclusion it has to do with the network (and here's the problem, I don't know what might cause this).
Now I am not completely sure that the driver/download is what is causing the memory leak, it might be something that I don't know of. I am not a pro in this matter, so I ask of help!
Thank you in advance,
Orlaw.

MonitoringHost.exe RAM usage SCOM 2012 SP1 UR1

Hello,
From two days the MonitoringHost.exe use more than 6 go ram on two of my four management servers. After some research I found that these two servers are member of my UNIX/Linux Monitoring Resource Pool. And when I delete on these management server
of this resource pool the process return to the normal with 500 mo of ram usage.
I have 11 UNIX/Linux computers for the moment composed by 5 SunOS 5.10, 4 SLES 10 and 2 SLES 11. I have only imported MP for these versions. I think that the problem come of a rule in on of these management pack but I don't know how to investigate and find
the source of problem.
Any help would be welcome.

You should apply the latest Update Rollup 2 for System Center 2012 SP1 Operations Manager. It contains quite a few updates to SCOM itself, plus it contains new cross platform Management Packs. Cross platform monitoring works in proxy,meaning
the Management Server resource pool or Management Server that you appoint to monitor the workloads truly does a lot of work. I would recommend, and so does Microsoft, having a dedicated resource pool of Management Servers to perform the monitoring for
cross platform systems.
In addition to this the most important resource to a Management Server is RAM. I'm not sure the scale of your environment and your current configuration (physical vs virtual) but I would highly recommended scaling your Management Servers a little higher
in RAM to accommodate console sessions, dashboards creation and viewing etc. You can even scale out now with the nice architecture changes to SCOM 2012. If you start to use dashboards in your environment that will chew through a ton of
RAM which Microsoft design recommendations don't currently account for.

GS60 Serious memory leakage (non-paged pool)

Windows 8.1
Laptop been on for only 24 hours and 5gb of memory was leaked by some driver (non-paged memory is at 5.5gb)
I only used the drivers provided on the MSI website.
Does anyone have information on this?
A peculiar effect of note is that to free that memory an actual restart is required. If you merely shutdown the laptop when you start it again the memory is not freed @_@ Never saw that before.
Edit:
Poolmon.exe implicates the tag Wfpn which google suggests is related to networking. Will try updating all networking drivers later.

Making this thread might have been unnecessary.
Disabling Ndu.sys through the registry (start value changed to 4) seems to have fixed the memory leak.
Still have no idea why so few people experience it. Just after 24 hours it went as high as 6 gigs.
Hopefully this will help others with a similar problem.

SCOM 2012 SP1 - Windows operating system is not monitored in a SCOM agent

Hi All,
I have an agent with windows 2012 operating system that i am trying to monitor.
At the "Windows computers" view the "Windows operating system" column is empty ("Agent" column is Healthy).
Why SCOM doesn't recognized that the agent have operating system?
Please help.
Thanks.

Hi,
On workgroup servers, you have to make sure you've used the momcertimport tool to import the certificate into the SCOM service.
In addition, I would like to suggest you go through the below article to monitor non-domain servers with SCOM:

SCOM 2012 SP1 SQL Server 2008 R2 Clustering Monitoring?

We have a new print management system that was setup using SQL server 2008 R2 clustering. Right now we have SQL MP (monitoring)(discover) 6.3.173.1. They had a failover occur a week ago and SCOM didnt throw any alerts. As a temporary
fix, I found some correlated events and setup a monitor for those events on the servers. However, the system owner wants to know if there is a MP that will monitor for a SQL cluster failover event. I have looked and looked and cant seem to find
anything that gives a whole lot of detail on this.
Thanks
EFD
Warm Fuzzies!

Yes, you can monitor SQL Cluster 2008 using SCOM 2012 SP1. but you need to install SQL MP and Windows Cluster MP and Enable proxy Agent on physical nodes.
You can refer below link {it's same for SCOM 2012}

Logical Disk space on a virtual Computer (not a Server) in SCOM 2012

Hello all-
   I have a sort of unique situation for our SCOM environment. We are already doing logical disk space monitoring on all of our SERVERS with no issues. Now we have one user who requires monitoring on their computer. This is really
a virtual workstation, as opposed to a real computer.   Since it's virtual, it's really online all the time.    Whether its right or wrong, they are using this virtual workstation sort of as a server. Anyway, they want me to
monitor the disk space for the C drive on this virtual computer. I'm having difficulty setting up such a monitor on a computer like that...
I got the SCOM agent installed onto the computer. SCOM is reporting it as being "Healthy".   Now how can I define a logical disk space monitor for it?   I attempt to create a monitor:   Windows Performance Counters,
Static Thresholds, Single Threshold. Then how can I direct the monitor at the C drive on the computer? I have to fill in the Object, Counter and Instanace. Normally I would click on the
Select button, then I would type in the server name and hit Enter and it would bring up all the objects it will allow me to monitor. Unfortunately it doesn't let me type in the computer name and hit enter in the same way. When I
do so, it says "The network path was not found". If I click on the
... button next to the Computer field, it brings me to a Select Computer screen. In here, I am type in the computer name and then I click
Check Name and it does appear to find it, and it underlines the computer's name.    So I then click
OK to bring me back to the previous screen where it presents me with the same "The network path was not found" error immediately. So I can't seem to navigate to the computer in SCOM and select the C drive, as I would be able
to for a server.
I tried to sort of force it in, instead of browsing for the computer and selecting the C drive. I simply put
LogicalDisk in for the Object then Free Megabytes for the Counter, then
C: for the Instance (as shown in the attached screen print.
Then I just applied my new rule to the computer via SCOM. I don't get any error messages when setting it up that way, but it certainly doesn't work.
So with all that said, can anyone help me out setting up a logical disk space monitoring for a COMPUTER in SCOM 2012 SP1 please? Please let me know if you need any more information!

Thanks, that would probably do it, I'm going to keep that as my backup plan. However, my current feeling is that it might be a bit overkill to install a whole management pack, when all I want to do is monitor a single C drive on a single workstation.
The rest of the monitors in the management pack I wouldn't have any interest it.   Let me ask you a question maybe you will know the answer to... Shouldn't I be able to monitor that drive even without that management pack installed?   I
mean some combination of settings for the Logical Disk Space rule in that management pack works for computers/workstations. Shouldn't I be able to reproduce that one single rule without the management pack? Does anyone have that management pack
installed? Could you possibly look at the Client OS Logical Disk Space rule and send me some screen shots or something?   Or am I missing something? Is the management pack needed for other reasons in order to monitor this?

Use Wildcard SSL Cert to Monitor Non-Domain COmputers

Hello,
I was wondering if a Wildcard SSL Cert from GoDaddy or another Provider can be used to monitor Non-Domain Computer on SCOM 2012R2?
TIA,
Jim

Hi,
The Operations Manager agents support two types of authentication method, Kerberos or certificate based authentication. In order to monitor servers and clients located outside the Operations Manager’s native Active Directory domain, you will need to configure
certificate authentication using either an internal Certificate Authority or through a 3rd party Certificate Authority.

Performance of Network Monitoring in SCOM 2012 SP1

Hi all!
I´ve problems with performance of the network monitoring feature in SCOM 2012 SP1.
According to the
guide the following should be adeqate:
•1000 network devices (approximately 12,500 monitored ports) managed by a resource pool that has three or more management servers
•500 network devices (approximately 6,250 monitored ports) managed by a resource pool that has two or more gateway servers
We have 800 network devices with a total of 24000 ports,
BUT only 1500 of them are monitored. This is basically what happens automatically after discovery, since only ports between monitored devices are monitored by default.
For this setup I first used only one management server dedicated to the Network Pool,
based on my assumption that if two servers could monitor 6250 ports, one server would be more than enough for 1500. I found this configuration working very poorly so I added another server. I now have two servers
dedicated for the Network Resource Pool. (They are NOT members of the “All management servers resource pool”)
Still, I get constant alerts regarding Health Services Private Bytes on these servers. They vary between 1-2Gbytes. Furthermore, if one of the servers goes offline, the network devices that was monitored by that server becomes grey for
several hours. Even if the server only is rebooted it takes forever to get everything online and green again.
I don´t really know what I should do now. I had a plan to replace our current network monitoring system (SNMPc) which easily handles this load on only one server. They are of course completely different beasts, but still. SCOM seems to
require a massive back-end to produce equivalent real life results.
Any suggestions or reflections from the field are highly appreciated!
Regards
Peter

Hi,
Try to overide the monitor Health Services Private Bytes by the following steps.
◾Go Authoring space – Management Pack Objects – Monitors
◾Go to change scope – select clear all – look for Health Service – tick it and press OK.
◾Expand Health Service – expand Entity Health – expand Performance – expand Health Service Performance
◾Select the Health Health Service Private Bytes Threshold.
◾Right click the mouse and choose to overide the monitor for a group
◾Select the group called Management Server Computer Group and press OK
◾Select the Agent Performance Monitor Type – Threshold and change the value 104857600 to ex. 2610612736.
◾Select to store the overide in a management pack you have created and press OK
