SCOM 2012 Network Monitoring Does Not Show Servers

We are testing out the network monitoring piece in SCOM 2012 but for some reason it never does show the servers. We have a test switch with a monitored server connected directly to it but after the discovery completes it doesn't show the server as
being connected. The switch in question is a Juniper and if you look at the diagram view for the device it does show all of the ports under "not monitored" and the Processor and Memory under "Healthy." The following event sequence shows up in the
"Network Discovery Progress Events" view:
Full Discovery Started for 1 request(s)
Proceeding to discover all systems in repository
Probing <<IP Address 1>>
Probing <<IP Address 2>>
Probing completed for <<IP Address 2>>
PostProcessing started
Probing completed for <<IP Address 1>>
PostProcessing completed
Switch::<<IP Address 2>> discovered successfully
Switch::<<IP Address 1>> discovered successfully
Discovery Completed / Devices discovered: 2 / Windows computers filtered: 0 / Devices in pending list: 0 / Devices excluded: 0
No devices were found in filtered list after discovery
Start processing connections to computers
Finished processing connections to computers. Number of connections made: 0
I've been trying to find some documentation on any other settings that are required to get network monitoring to work as advertised but so far I have struck out. Help!

Sorry Matt - you did say that very clearly in your previous post. I'll try and do better this time ;-)
From here:

From here:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/momteam/archive/2011/09/20/what-gets-monitored-with-system-center-operations-manager-2012-network-monitoring.aspx
"An agent computer that is directly connected to a device will have the connecting interface added to this group. For this to work the management group must have the Windows Operating System management pack for the agent’s operating system, the Windows
Client Network Discovery management pack and the Windows Server Network Discovery management pack. The full discovery of the agent’s operating system has to be completed including the discovery of the agent’s network adapters. Then when network discovery
runs for the device it should stitch the port on the device to the network adapter on the computer and add the port to this group."
So possibly:
- check the management packs specified are imported
- check the the agents network adapters have been discovered
From here -
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh212935.aspx - it is also possible to do this for non-scom monitored servers.
"Ports that are connected to a computer are not monitored; only ports that connect to other network devices are monitored. You can monitor a port that is connected to a computer that is not agent-managed in the same management group by adding the port to
the Critical Network Adapters Group."

SCOM 2012 Linux Monitoring - RPCBIND, RPCIDMAP, RPCSTAT services not running

We are running SCOM 2012 SP1 and added a test Linux server running Red Hat Enterprise 6.3. SCOM is reporting that the server is in Critical health because the following three services are not running.
1) Process Rpcbind Service Health - Rpcbind Mapper Not Running
2) Process Rpcidmap Service Health - NFSv4 ID Name Mapper Not Running
3) Process Rpcstat Service Health - NSM Status Monitor Not Running
My question is that are these services required to be running in order for SCOM to monitor the Linux servers properly? If yes, can you please give brief explaination as to why so I can explain that to our Linux Administrator. The Linux Administrator
is saying that we do not run these services on any of the Linux servers because they are not needed. If infact these services are not needed, how can I have SCOM ignore the critical error messages? Thanks

Yup, generally running. I'm assuming you've done a basic install of RHEL 6. All processes listed above are enabled by default on a RHEL 6 install if you take the default settings. If someone is just getting started you can pretty much guarantee
they will do a basic install of RHEL 6 and this will not be an issue.
Could it be done better... sure but at what point do you stop? We could discover all services running on the system and start monitoring them out of the box but what are important and what are not to each customer? The idea is to give you some basic monitoring
on a default install based on what each OS provider starts on a "default" install. If this does not suite your needs SCOM is very configurable and adding a custom service monitor is very easy to configure along with disabling existing ones.
If you'd like to provide feedback on this feel free to open a support ticket with Microsoft and file what we call a 'Design Change Request' [DCR]. We go though these prior to starting each update to SCOM. No guarantee it will get fixed/changed as we do have
priorities but we are listening.

What is URL Monitoring for?

I was talking with a friend a couple of days ago and he told me that he had purchased a URL Monitoring system. He told me it was invaluable. I asked him what it did and all I got was some hi-tech lingo. What does one of these systems do?

I just googled the term and most of the answers seem to be something like this:
URL Monitoring Tool constantly monitors your apache or other type of web server and checks if your website or URL is up and running.Hopefully that's not too hi-tech of a lingo for you. But probably you don't run your own website (or you might have understood some of what your friend was saying), so you don't need one of these things.

SCOM 2012 file monitoring

Hello,
I have a requirement to monitor the folder and alert needs to be triggered if *trace* file present. If the trace file present there should be some issue and that owner needs to be alerted from SCOM that the file is present in the specific folder.
May i know the way to achieve this?
Regards,
Vijay

You may create time script monitor and the script is similar to
Dim fs, f, foldername,fd
set oAPI=CreateObject("MOM.ScriptAPI")
set oBag=oAPI.CreatePropertyBag()
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
   foldername="c:\temp"
   status="OK"
    Set fd = fs.Getfolder(foldername)
    for each f in fd.files
             if instr(f.name,"trace") then
                 status="NOT OK"
                exit for
            end if
    next
Call oBag.AddValue("Status",status)
Call oAPI.Return(oBag)
IN this example, I assume the monitor file is c:\temp and the trace flle with file name "*trace*"

SCOM 2012 - Disable Alerts for a few servers

Hi,
I have about 8 servers and i need to disbale a monitor, how do i do this?
Is there a way i can select the monitor from the agent and then disable it?
thank you in advance :)
Kelly

Find out what the "target" of the monitor is. Create an instance group containing the target class for those servers. If you can do this dynamically based on naming convention or OU, then cool. If not, then you might have to
add them individually. Then override for a group, as the person said before.

SCOM 2012 monitoring IIS - windows updates generate SCOM alerts

We are using SCOM 2012 to monitor our environment. There is a logic implemented to suppress alerts (using maintenance mode) when Windows Updates cause system reboot.
We followed:<o:p></o:p>
http://operatingquadrant.com/2009/08/15/scom-automatically-starting-maintenance-mode-when-servers-are-rebooted-for-patching/<o:p></o:p>
Basically when in system event log event id 1074 appears then system is put in Maintenance mode. There is a problem with some IIS web servers - they
generate a lot of alerts when Windows Updates are installed (e.g. Microsoft Windows Internet Information Services 2003 Application Pool is Unavailable)
and before windows reboot. In details:
5:08 AM - Windows update installation in event log (event id 19)e.g.
Installation Successful: Windows successfully installed the following update: Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 4 on Windows Server 2003, Vista, Windows 7, Server 2008 x86 (KB2972106)
5:09 AM - SCOM generates alerts: Microsoft Windows Internet Information Services 2003 Application Pool is Unavailable
5:17 AM - event id 1074: The process winlogon.exe has initiated the restart of computer. SCOM put this server in Maintenance mode.
After 5:17 AM no more alerts generated by SCOM
We cannot change our logic and put system in maintenance mode based on event ID 19 (windows update installation) because there are a
lot of event ID 19 events generated almost every day. So we do not want to put our server in maintenance mode each time when windows updates are installed. Just when windows update installation cause some IIS features stops. Any idea?

For issue 1074, You can refer below link

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:

Orchestrator/SCOM 2012 and UTC Time for Get Alert

We are currently moving to using Orchestrator to act as a connector between SCOM 2012 and Unicenter for ticket generation. Right now, the runbook that I have built out does the following.
Monitor Date/Time > Format Date/Time > Get Alert
The monitor Date/Time runs every 60 seconds.
Format Date/Time then pulls from a variable that grabs the current time using now(). I then have it adding 4 hours and 55 minutes to the time to set the UTC time to 5 minutes earlier.
Get Alert then looks for all alerts that meet a specific criteria. This includes the time and any alert that was generated within the last 5 minutes, which is why I have it currently set to 4 hours and 55 minutes.
In a few months, that's going to break and I'll have to manually update the format date/time to 5 hours and 55 minutes. What I'm trying to find is a way to do this automatically so the runbook doesn't have to be modified. I'm thinking of using
the 'Activity End Time in UTC' from the Monitor Date/Time but want to see if there's any other easier way of doing it.

Hi again,
If the question is to have a an easy way to get only Alerts not already seen with "Get Alert" before:
Use "Update Alert" and update fields like TicketID or ResoultionState after "Get Alert" and exclude this criteria in the Filter tab of "Get Alert" ...

Basic Network Monitoring for Cisco Operation Manager 2012

Hello,
Please bear with me as i'm new the Operations Manager 2012 world. I've just installed operations manager 2012 in our environment and i've setup a network management point. I've discovered my networking gear which is primarily cisco equipment. The devices
are appearing as CERTIFIED. It appears that they are HEALTHY however in most cases i'm getting some arbitrary monitors. I have a 6509 switch where memory and processor appear to be being monitored out of the box. I'm receiving alerts and everything.
My question is how do I turn on monitoring for other discovered components. I seem to understand I can make SNMP monitors under the authoring pane if i know the OID. That sounds like it'd be tedious work for such a simple and basic monitor. However I was
under the impression I would be able to monitor a lot of these components with a simple click of a button. Is this not the case? I'm primarily interested in monitoring the state and performance of particular interfaces as well as the state of the power supplies
in our switches. Is there a guide that explains the basic principles of this. What are my options?
Thanks!
-Brandon

Hi,
You will need to edit the discovery and broaden the range. You may use recursive discovery.
Recursive discovery will try to discover any other network devices it knows about through its Address Routing Protocol (ARP) table, its IP address table, or the topology Management Information Block (MIB) to grow the network map and present all applicable
devices to you for monitoring.
You can also filter out devices that you don't want to be discovered by using properties such as the device type, name, and object identifier (OID). This is a handy option if you wanted to quickly discover all the network devices in your network except,
a small number or some with a specific criteria.
In really large networks with a lot of network devices, keep in mind that there is a default limit of 1500 network devices that can be discovered recursively. You can of course tweak this limit to suit your environment if you wish, but for most people, this
won't be needed.
More details, please go through the article below:

Unable to monitor SLES 10 SP4,SLES 11 SP3 and SLES 11 SP2 via SCOM 2012 R2

Hi ,
I am unable to get SLES 10 SP4, SLES 11 SP3 and SLES 11 SP2 under SCOM 2012 R2 monitoring. The PAM ,glibc and openssl are at the right versions.
Per the documentation SCOM MP for unix/Linux provides monitoring of SUSE Linux Enterprise
Server 9, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP1, and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 operating systems. Does this mean it cannot monitor SP2, SP3 and SP4 for the same Operating systems?
Plat form not supported is the error which I get.
Thank you much,

There should not be any problems with monitoring SLES 10 SP4 or SLES 11 SP2/SP3. If you are getting a "platform not supported" error, it may be that the right management packs have not successfully imported. Can you give more details on when
you get the error, and the management pack versions that you have installed? And what Update Rollup (UR) for OpsMgr do you have installed? The latest is UR4, and the Linux/UNIX management packs for UR4 are here:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-hk/download/details.aspx?id=29696 . Be sure to download the version for "R2".

Does SCOM 2012 monitor "Persona File Handles"?

Hi,
I have query whether SCOM 2012 can monitor "Persona File Handles"? Plan is for monitoring threshold limit of 3 lacs file handles on HVDs. If it can be monitored, the alert should be triggered only when it reaches 3 lacs file handles.
We have SCOM 2012 SP1
Please answer asap.
Thanks,
Naren.
Thanks & regards, Naren.

I would suggest you look into the veeam MP for VMWare http://www.veeam.com/management-pack-system-center-resources.html
I'm not to familiar with "Persona
File Handles" but if there's a command you can run to check it then it can be scripted and thus monitored by a custom monitor.
Cheers,
Martin

Upgrade Paths for SCOM 2012 R2

I looked through many forums and MS sites but can't find if it's possible to upgrade SCOM 2007R2 to SCOM 2012R2 directly. Or do you have to upgrade to the integrated SCOM 2012SP1 package first? or is even that supported? I'm trying to
upgrade to 2012R2 from 2007R2 and everything is on the same server.

Agree
The correct upgrade path is
SCOM 2007 R2 CU4 --> SCOM 2012
SCOM 2012 --> SCOM 2012 SP1
SCOM 2012 SP1 --> SCOM 2012 R2
