Monitoring MSMQ (Private Queues) using SCOM

Hi
How do I monitor Error messages on Private Queue (MSMQ)? I like to have a notification whenever message goes to Error Queue. I have SCOM 2012 SP1 environment. (Windows 2008 R2 SP1)
I already imported MSMQ MPs
to SCOM.
Thanks
Anu

Hi,
check if there is any monitor in MSMQ MP for the same. if not you can take any of below monitoring solution.
1) check if there is any event logged if message go to error queue and configure monitoring for the respective event id. refer below link how to configure event id monitor.
http://opsmgradmin.blogspot.in/2011/05/scom-monitoring-windows-event-logs.html
2) check if there is any counter message go to error queue on server if yes configure performance counter monitor.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb309655.aspx
3) if both fail you can develop an script base monitor for the same.

How to monitor self signed certificates using scom 2007 R2

How to monitor self signed certificates using scom 2007 R2. i need to monitor specifically self signed certificates expiration. if possible in two state monitor...please suggest me the best way..
B John

Hi,
Based on my understanding, that you want to create a monitor to monitor certificate expiration, with two state, when the certificate is about expiration for 21 days,, send warning, when the certificate is about expiration for 10 days, then send
alert. I think we need to create scripts to do so, hope the below links can be helpful:

Configure Monitoring of a MSMQ private queue Messages in Queue counter

Hi
I have a workgroup server that is not part of my local domain.
I have contented the server to my local SCOM 2012 R2 server and it is working fine.
My SCOM server has MSMQ 6.0 & 6.3 MP's installed.
On the remote servers I have some MSMQ 6.0 private queues.
When I am trying to monitor one counter in 1 queue , when the threshold is reached I am getting error message on al the queues.
On the performance counter tab I have :
Object: MSMQ Queue
Counter : Messages In Queue
Instance :[server name'\private$\error
There were 1207 messages in this queue .
I Got about 30 messages and error on all queues.
What did I do wrong ?

I have made some change in the monitor and will test it now.

Msmq private queue is not visible on windows 2008 r2

Hello
MSMQ privte queue are disappeared from the console. when i try to create a new queue with same name it says that entry is already there.
I am able to see the msmq status on the event viewer ,we use vcs cluster
is it some permission issue and or it configuration mismatch on the vcs cluster

Hi,
Please see if this is the issue. Try the workaround provided by this KB:
Some private queues may not appear or may disappear when you update the view in the Computer Management window

Options to monitor a PC without using SCOM?

How can I monitor a scheduled job on a PC without using SCOM. We have a request to monitor some scheduled jobs on some PCs, but we don't want to use SCOM to monitor individual PCs.
Can I use PowerShell or anything else to accomplish this task?
Thanks.

You may use following vbscript
set Service =CreateObject("schedule.service")
'computer1 is the computer name which you want to monitor schedule job an without scom agent
computername="computer1"
call Service.Connect(computername)
dim rootFolder
set rootFolder = Service.GetFolder("\")
dim taskCollection
set taskCollection = rootFolder.getTasks(0)
dim result
dim TaskName
result="OK"
TaskName=""
if taskCollection.count > 0 then
     dim registeredTask
         for each registeredTask in taskCollection
              if registeredTask.LastTaskResult = 1 then
                   result="NOT OK"
                  TaskName = TaskName & registeredTask.Name & ", "
              end if
          next
end if
if result="OK" then
   msgbox "All schedule task in " & computername & " run successfully"
else
   msgbox "The following tasks run unsuccessful in computer " & computername & vblf & left(TaskName, len(taskName)-1)
end if

Is there a way of monitoring SCSM connector failures using SCOM

I have an environment comprising SCSM2012 SP1, SCOM2012 SP1 and SCCM2012SP1 with Orchestrator forwarding the CI data and alerts to a 3rd party CMDB/ServiceDesk system. We have SCSM connectors for AD, SCCM and SCOM CI. There was a recent issue with SCSM UR6
where the SCCM connector stopped working. I regressed the Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.ServiceManager.Linking.Consumer.OperationalStore.dll back to the RTM release version and it all works again.
I want to know if there is a way of monitoring each of the connectors in SCOM to ensure I get alerted if the status of the 3 connectors is anything other than "Finished Success" - maybe only generating an alert if the status stays in a failed status
for more than 24 hours.
There appears to be very little documentation on how these connectors work or what errors they write into logs. Any tricks or tips would be appreciated.

On you management server, if you open Event Viewer, the logs are keep under Application and Services Logs Operations Manager. (Yes, the Service Manager logs are keep in the Operations Manager logs folder) In this folder you should find the event logs for
your connectors. Just search for different sources to find the connector you want to monitor. Some of the sources include Exchange Connector, OpsMgr Connector, Data Connectors (AD connector), System Center Orchestrator, and Lfx Service (SCCM
Connector). You could easily setup SCOM or Orchestrator to monitor these logs.

MSMQ Discovering queues

Hi
Im having a problem discovering any queues with the MSMQ management pack. The servers are discovered fine as MSMQ 2008 R2 servers. Im wondering if the problem is with the run as accounts. The servers are not on a domain so ive created two Windows runas accounts:
servera\monitor
serverb\monitor
Ive added two entries on the run as profile. servera\monitor is targeted at the servera msmq 2008 R2 server object, and serverb\monitor at the other MSMQ server object.
The following events are logged on servera and serverb:
Event 1:
DiscoverQueues.vbs :
Calling MP Element ID: {A02F8DCE-37D2-0383-DE7E-BD1733219EBB}
Discovery started with following parameters:
Source ID: {A02F8DCE-37D2-0383-DE7E-BD1733219EBB}
Managed Entity ID: {E2820D42-91F3-1663-C20E-42A3F815EC89}
Computer: ded2455
Network: DED2455
Discover Public Queues: True
Discover Private Queues: True
User credentials: WORKGROUP\queue_monitor
Event 2:
The process started at 11:03:48 failed to create System.Discovery.Data. Errors found in output:
C:\Program Files\System Center Operations Manager 2007\Health Service State\Monitoring Host Temporary Files 14\4945\DiscoverQueues.vbs(124, 2) Microsoft VBScript runtime error: Invalid procedure call or argument: 'Left'

Working Directory: C:\Program Files\System Center Operations Manager 2007\Health Service State\Monitoring Host Temporary Files 14\4945\
One or more workflows were affected by this.

Instance name: servera
Instance ID: {E2820D42-91F3-1663-C20E-42A3F815EC89}
Anyone got any ideas? The public and private queues in SCOM just remain empty. Ive also set the monitor account to be able to access the private queues.
Thanks
Chris

Looks like it is still using the wrong credentials there
User credentials: WORKGROUP\queue_monitor
But you could try to remove the runas credentials again and have it just use its default LocalSystem account and see if that one picks up anything to monitor.

Monitor Dell Powerconnect Switches/Routers using SCOM 2012

Hello,
We are trying to find a way to monitor approximately 20-25 Dell Powerconnect switches/routers (models 5324,5424,5448,5548,6224,6024) through SCOM 2012.
Using SCOM network discovery we are able to get all Dell Powerconnect switches listed, but we are unable to get a network node dashboard, nor vicinity view 1 or 2 hops further. We are able to only see connected network printers and some serial/ethernet devices
we have.
In addition, SCOM 2012 seems to be able to recognize the model of only Dell Powerconnect 5224 switches. We have found that on the SCOM management server the "C:\Program Files\System Center 2012\Operations Manager\Server\NetworkMonitoring\conf\discovery\oid2type_Dell.conf"
only lists Dell Powerconnect 5224 switches as well as several models from the 3000 series.
We have contacted Dell PRO support, but their reply was that there is no management pack for SCOM available for their networking devices.
Would it be recommended to use http://xsnmp.codeplex.com/ on SCOM 2012 to monitor those switches and get a network digram view or are there any plans to include those MIBs in a future CU or SP of SCOM 2012?

Hi Alex
Network monitoring has changed from SCOM 2007 R2 to SCOM 2012 so this statement
"but if this works for SCOM 2007, it should apply to SCOM 2012"
is not accurate when it comes to network monitoring:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/momteam/archive/2011/10/24/migrating-operations-manager-2007-network-monitoring.aspx
Would it be recommended to use http://xsnmp.codeplex.com/ on SCOM 2012?
The codeplex solutions for SCOM 2007 R2 will not work on a new \ clean install of SCOM 2012 (if you upgrade from SCOM 2007 R2 they continue to work as legacy devices but you can't add more monitoring).
SCOM 2012 seems to be able to recognize the model of only Dell Powerconnect 5224 switches
What do you mean by recoginse? SCOM can discover network devices but there is an "approved" list that allows for extended monitoring:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=26831
You should still be able to discover and monitor other devices though:

Can I Monitor Xamp(apache) hosted web service(OpenEMR) using scom 2012 sp1

i have installed OpenEMR using xamp(apache,mysql) and now i want to monitor what are the various that has been done by the OpenEMR webisite on my local machine, can any one just help to finding out these things.

Hi,
Based on my research, this software can be installed as service or not as service, if it is installed as service, then we can use SCOM to monitor the service status. And if it is not installed as service, to monitor it, we may need to analysis logs written
by this software.
And if you want to know what this software did to your computer, I think this should be known by the software vendors, you may need to post thread there. And what I can tell is that we can monitor the computer healthy therefore to know whether something
is wrong with the computer, and then analysis the issue to know whether it is caused by the software.

Options for monitoring health of SCSM 2012 SP1 using SCOM 2012 SP1

Hi,
I've done some research on how to monitor SCSM using SCOM (version 2012 SP1 for both) and found two options:
Option 1 - Agent-based monitoring. With SCSM2012 SP1, it looks as though the agent is
already present (for upgrades and also for fresh installs). So it follows that SCOM will be able to monitor the health of SCSM.
Option 2 - Agentless monitoring. On the Technet
download page, 'System Requirements' section indicates compatibility with SCOM 2012 and above, and SCSM 2012 and above. Details tab says the following (emphasis mine):
This System Center Management Pack for System Center 2012 - Service Manager should be used to monitor
System Center 2012 - Service Manager, System Center 2012 R2 - Service Manager
and includes monitors for the management server as well as the Data Warehouse server. In this release of the management pack, the Data Access Service, Health Service, Configuration Service, and workflows are monitored.
So it looks like both options are viable, but I'd be interested in hearing other people's experiences of using one vs. the other. Is there any major difference in the information that's provided by agentless vs. agent-based monitoring, or are they just two
different ways of pulling the exact same information into SCOM?
Edit: Just occurred to me that SP1 isn't explicitly mentioned in the Technet article linked above under option 2. Has anyone successfully used agentless monitoring on SP1?

Is it possible to use SCOM 2012 R2 with the new Azure Managment Pack to monitor Aure Wadlog Events for azure sdk 2.5

My operations team has been using MOM 2007 and has recently migrated to SCOM 2012 R2.
Till now we are using Monitoring Pack management packs which were released way earlier (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=11324),
and had a dependency on diagonstics connection string being present in the cscfg of Azure package.
This pack was allowing us to monitor the wad logs and events generated by applications.
However we plan to move to newer Azure managemen pack (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=38414), which allows for discoverability.
I have 2 questions -
Is it possible to monitor Diagonstics Event Log with the new Monitoring Pack released on 10/2014 ? Or will the users still require the earlier pack for monitoring diagnostics installed in parallel ?
Azure SDK 2.5 got rid of diagonstics connection string. Is there any possible way to Monitor of Azure Diagonstics wadlogs using SCOM 2012 R2
Thanks,
Pratush

Hi Pratush,
I would like to suggest you go through the management pack guide to get details. And you should be able to create custom monitor to monitor event logs for Azure.

How to monitor Data downloaded, bandwidth used, Url hit in Client machine through SCOM

Hi,
Is there is any way which can monitor Data downloaded, bandwidth used, Url hit in Client machine(windows 7 and Windows 8.1) through SCOM.

Hi,
I installed and running ebusiness suite 12.1.1 in Oracle Linux server 6.3, below is the url I used to run ebs in the Linux Server,
http://aserver.localdomain:8000/OA_HTML/AppsLogin
Can you access this URL on the server itself? Do you see the login page on the server?
I need to access the ebs from my laptop which is having windows 7 operating system.
My laptop (with IP Address 10.0.0.4) is connected to network and I can ping with my linux server's IP Address- 10.0.0.2 (ping 10.0.0.2 works)
but when I ping from my laptop with the server 's hostname ( ping aserver.localdomain) it says "ping request could not find host aserver.localdomain" .What if you access http://10.0.0.2/OA_HTML/AppsLogin from the client, can you see the main login page then?
when I tried to access the url "http://aserver.localdomain:8000/OA_HTML/AppsLogin" from the laptop ebs page is not opening.
Please post the contents of the hosts file on the server and the client.
Is there any configuration to be made in Linux server where ebs is installed or tell me what things to be done to access ebs from another system.Just make sure the firewall is disabled on the Linux server.
I also have static ip configured in my router, So tell me what settings to be made to access this same ebs through internet.You do not need an internet access here since your server and client on the same network.
Thanks,

Guide to productively use SCOM 2012 ?

Hello everyone,
I am having a hard time trying to find what to do with the SCOM 2012 R2 UR4 installation I have done. I personally think that SCOM has a very steep learning curve. Seems to me one needs a PhD degree in rocket science to be able to fully use SCOM!!
Other monitoring tools like (spiceworks) are so very easy to setup and use.
I wish someone could tell me (in plain words) what is the sequence of things a SCOM admin should do to be productive.
Is there a guide out there?
Here are some of the questions I still have in my mind:
I have SCOM installed, now what?
I am supposed to install agents on all my 150+ servers or just a few?
How can I make sure SCOM watches over the servers? (warn me for simple things like disk space, CPU pegged etc)
Create dashboards on a wall mounted display?
Here is what I have been able to do until now...done the installation.... started monitoring a couple of web applications...you know... basic website is up/down notifications. But I wanna do more.
Please help me!

SCOM is a sophisticated monitoring tool and has a easy setup and use characteristic.
1) Built up SCOM infrastructure: SCOM Managment Server, DB Server, SCOM console and SCOM reporting
http://blogs.technet.com/b/kevinholman/archive/2013/10/18/opsmgr-2012-r2-quickstart-deployment-guide.aspx
2) Deploy SCOM Agents to machines which you want to monitor: In your situation, i recommend that you should deploy SCOM agent to 150+ server by using discovery method
http://prajwaldesai.com/installing-scom-agent-on-windows-based-computers/
3) Deploy rquired MP:In your situation, it is recommend that Windows OS MP should be installed and the latest version should be downloaded from
http://www.microsoft.com/en-hk/download/details.aspx?id=9296
4) Create dashboards:http://blogs.technet.com/b/momteam/archive/2011/09/27/introducing-operations-manager-2012-dashboards.aspx
5) If you want to receive email alert in addition to SCOM alert, you should configure email notification and subscription:http://blogs.technet.com/b/kevinholman/archive/2012/04/28/opsmgr-2012-configure-notifications.aspx
6) Tunning threshold for your environment
   There are serveral built-in performance based monitors in Windows OS MP which need you attention. By deafult, Windows OS built-in monitors threshold is good but may not fit your company requirement which you should change it vale by using override
   a) Disk space monitor:
      - Windows XXX Logical Disk Space monitor:
        System Disk:
            Warning: free space below 10% and 500MB
