Hi,
We may use script to check file sizes and use the script to create a monitor.
In addition, hope the below article can be helpful:

You also need to add/copy the reference for the Scheduled Tasks MP you are using for other OSs. The above is from the MP for Windows 2012 Scheduled Tasks. Most of the existing MPs available for scheduled tasks already cover Windows 2003/2008 R2, I just extended
support for 2012.

Is there way to Monitor Live camera from SCOM 2012 R2

Is there way to Monitor Live camera from SCOM 2012 R2 ?
Thanks
Raja R
Raja R

Depends what it is that you want to monitor?
If it's an IP camera that supports SNMP, you can monitor multiple components, depending on the manufacturer (e.g. # images captures, uptime in hours, ...).
If it doesn't support SNMP, you can monitor it through ICMP (ping). Then it's only possible to monitor the state of the device (up/down) depending on wether scom receives a ping reply or not.
If it's a coaxial camera or something else, not connected to a network, it's not possible to monitor the camera itself. Might be possible to monitor the computer/DVR that records the images.

Issues with Monitoring Azure services with SCOM 2012 R2

Hi,
I'm trying to setup monitoring of our Azure subscriptions in a new installation of Operations Manager 2012 R2 which is running in-house as it is also monitoring our internal services. I've used the guide below:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/walterm/archive/2013/04/13/first-impressions-on-system-center-management-pack-for-windows-azure-fabric-preview-for-scom-2012-sp1.aspx
This has all worked OK and I've been able to add the subscription into OP Manager and it's found the cloud service, storage and VM's. However when I try to add the monitoring and I go to create this When I select the Add option in the Add Monitoring
Wizard and click the Search button to list the components (Cloud Service, Storage and VM's) nothing is found despite me having already selected the subscription.
Has anyone else experienced this or can offer any advice?
Many Thanks
Colin

Hi,
Which version of RDP client you are using for your client?
Does more user login at same period of time?
As you have commented that after sticking the user can’t able to login in RDCB server, here I can suggest you to check the setting of connection broker. Also you can check that you have place the proper location path of UPD while configuring in collection configuration
wizard. You can take a look at below article foe virtual desktop configuration.
Deploying Virtual Desktops with Windows Server 2012
Are you trying to use same UPD for different collection then also it might happens to occur your issue. The fact of UPD is User profile disks are for a single collection only. A user connecting to two different collections will have two separate profiles. If
you want to synchronize settings, refer to Microsoft User Experience Virtualization. Go through this article for more understanding related to UPD.
Working with User Profile Disks on Session-Based Desktop Deployments
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

How do "you" monitor event logs in SCOM 2012? Need opinions.

Fairly new to SCOM. Do you monitor all event logs? Just warnings and critical? How do you filter out things you don't want to see?
Looking for opinions here not just a "how-to".
Thanks,

Steps in creating a Event based Alerting Rule.
1. Open the Operations Manager Console.
2. Go to Authoring.
3. Under Authoring - Management Pack Objects - Select Rules
4. Right click on Rules and select - Create a new rule
5. Select Alert Generating Rules - Event Based - NT Event Log (Alert)
6. On the same screen select your destination management pack and click Next
7. Give a name to your Rule and optionally give it a Description.
8. Rule Category can be anything you like.
9. Select the Rule Target as the class of your choice, normally it can be Windows Computer.
10. Make sure the Rule is Enabled and select Next.
11. Select the Event log name from where event will be monitored and click Next. (for example Application or System
or Security)
12. Build the Expression to filter the events with the below details:
     a. Parameter Name = Event ID, Operator = Equals and Value = (any event id of your choice)
     b. Parameter Name = Event Source, Operator = Equals and Value = (any source of your choice) (you
may delete this filter if you want)
     c. Click on Insert button at Top and it will put the cursor at Parameter Name, click square button
with 3 dots [...] and it will popup another screen.
     d. In that box, select the 3rd radio button named 'Use parameter name not specified above' and there
manually type 'EventDescription' (without quotes) and click OK.
     e. Then come back to filter screen, now here you will see Parameter Name = EventDescription, and
for Operator select Contains and then for Value you can type any word you want to key on from the Event description.
13. After building the desired Expression, click Next.
14. Configure Alerts as you like and click the Create button.
To get the Alerting event details. Go to Start menu and in Run window type eventvwr.
And put the details on the wizard as per the below screenshot.

System Center Orchestrator 2012 R2 Runbook needed to monitor multiple folders

I've written script that will scan ~25 folders and pick the folder(s) with files in it and spit out the path for one of those folders. I then want to monitor the folder wait for the folder to empty then the script should rerun and spit out
the next folder that contains files and so on. Lastly when all folders are empty the script should return NULL or something like that so I can tell the RB to quit.
The problem with the monitor folder object is that you cant link an object before it.
Ideas? I thought about running the script in another RB and calling the monitor RB but don't know how to pass values (folder path that contains files) to the monitor folder object. Also, I want the RB to only run when I trigger is and stop when all
folders are empty.
Thanks!

Hi,
use the "Get File Status" Activity within a Runbook.
Configure a Loop until "File exists equals false":
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh403826.aspx
The "Monitor" Activities can only be the first Activity in a Runbook.

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?

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.

SNMP traps from EMC SRM to SCOM 2012 R2

Hi,
I'm trying to configure SCOM 2012 R2 as an SNMP trap listner. I've seen many articles on setting this up but all are based around SNMP traps from network devices which must first be discovered and identified in the network device list.
However in my scenario I am trying to monitor/listen for traps send by a Linux box hosting EMC SRM - this management software can be configured to send SNMP traps out so it is these that I need to try and listen for/capture.
So can anyone explain how I can configure SCOM 2012 R2 to do this. I have tried to just used the IP of the Linux box and discover it as a network device but it fails - in Network Devices Pending Mgmt it says No response Ping, even though I can
ping the box from the Server OK - so I am guessing you cant cheat scom in discovering the Linux box as a network device in ths way?
Can anyone offer any advice for setting this up. Just to add I've ensured the RunAs Community String (public) and SNMP version is correct on both side...
Cheers...

Once the Network Device (Linux server in this case) is discovered you will still need a rule that targets that class and accepts incoming SNMP Traps for that OID, or All OIDs if you prefer. I found 2 links that may be of help, the first is just a basic
overview of the SNMP listener in SCOM 2012 as it has changed from the OS Listener in 2007 to a dedicated one.
http://systemcentertech.com/2012/05/17/scom-2012-built-in-snmp-trap-listener/
The second link covers SNMP setup, but starting at Step 7 there is a great how-to on creating your own SNMP rule which will be needed to collect your traps.

SCOM 2012 R2 - How to create a Web Application Monitor for an URL requiring certificate authentication

Hi All,
It looks like in SCOM 2012 there are two ways to monitor a web application (URL monitoring):
Way no 1: (Using the Web Application Transaction Monitoring template)
Way no 2: (Using the Web
Application Availability Monitoring template)
We have created some monitors using
Web Application Availability Monitoring to check if URL is up without any authentication method.
However, we have few URLs for which we need Client Certificates to be used for accessing them but found no option in SCOM 2012 to configured the certificates.
I have searched a lot on the Tech Net library but no clue. Does anyone know how to successfully monitor an URL requiring certificate authentication on SCOM 2012 ? or, at least, using no matter which method?
Thanks.
Regards,
Raju.

Hi,
Based on my research, it is not possible by using the built-in monitoring templates. Both of them handles “normal”, server-side, SSL-certs, and the transaction monitor handles basic/digest/NTLM authentication, but client certificate based authentication
is not a configurable option.

Yan Li

SCOM 2012 R2 Exchange Correlation Service , we receive almost at every day in the Event log Application the Event720

HI
Since the SCOM was Upgrade to R2
Almost at every Day, we receive in the Event log application the Event 720 from the correlation service Source MSExchangeMonitoring Correlation
This arrives always around 7:20AM, someday is at 7:19, other at 7:21. It is always approximately at the same hour, but we never have any problem during weekend
The description of the Event
Exceeded maximum time (15 minutes) to wait for completion of all CorrelateBatchTask threads.
After that the correlation stop to work. At the Same time if we tried to open the SCOM Console on that server we was unable to open it. Also we was not able to open the SCOM PowerShell
And also we cannot from that server to get which server is the RMS if we run get-SCOMRMSEmulator . (This the RMS Server)
When this arrive, the only thing we found, it to reboot the server or restart de SCOM service, after the Reboot the Correlation begin to work
We got also many Event 714 Critical and after this Event 711 Warning
Thank

Have a look at: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/systemcenter/en-US/e75e84d9-0c9e-4d83-b3da-45a143757f85/exchange-2010-monitoring-with-scom-2012-correlation-service-issue
One user reported an issue with the exchange correlation engine after upgrade and said that:
I had issues with the corellation engine after upgrading scom 2012 to R2.
The MomBidLdr.dll version changed in the SCOM directories, and needs to be updated in the:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\v14\Bin directory.
That seemed to stop the errors for me.
