SCOM monitor log file

Ｗe'd like to user SCOM 2012 R2 to mointor log file and send alert.
We follow this blog:
http://jimmoldenhauer.blogspot.tw/2013/03/scom-2012-how-to-generate-alert-from.html
However, when we completed the monitoring setting, OM did not show alert on console.
Our OM agent is healthy, so is there anything I miss to send log file alert?

Hi,
I suggest you refer to the TechNet library docuement to create the rule again for a test. Thanks for your time.

    Can monitor SCCM agent health/inactive agents through SCOM, monitor logs like CCMeval and setup alerts

    You can find some management packs here:
    http://systemcenter.pinpoint.microsoft.com/en-US/applications/search/Operations-Manager-d11?q=
    There are other sites as well but this is the MS page for hosting MP's.  The default SCCM 2012 Management pack for SCOM 2012 is pretty functional, this page talks a little bit about it:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/kevinholman/archive/2012/12/11/monitoring-configmgr-2012-with-opsmgr.aspx
    If I remember correctly, it does NOT include a lot of client monitoring but I could be wrong.  It might take some custom monitor creation or management pack downloads to get exactly what you're wanting.  If I can find something like that
    I'll add it to this post.
    A good rule of thumb that I live by with SCOM, in case the product is new to you, is to save all your changes and customizations to the SCCM management pack in a custom-created management pack.

  • How often do log monitors check log files?

    Hello all, just wondering if there was a set interval that SCOM checks log files when you set up a simple log monitor.   Is there an interval somewhere I'm not seeing?  Or how does that work?

    Please see: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/systemcenter/en-US/ee74e8b6-623a-41ee-abb4-54a98d017000/scom-2012-polling-interval-faster-for-monitoring-network
    But not every param of monitor can be changed and it can be hardcoded in MP...and only way to change this param is to recreate MP ..
    usually Param Interval (sec) or Frequency is
    used to modify that property (polling interval) in overrides."

  • Communication channel monitoring logs

    Dear all,
    on weekend we had a problem with a CC. Messages not have beend pick up from
    a FTP server. The problem was solved automatically and I was not able to see
    any error entries in the CC monitoring log files because there were to many
    entries without error.
    My question:
    Is there an option for persisting the logs into a trace file on server? I was not
    able to find the entries in defaultTrace or anywhere else.
    How to raise the time/size of the log files?
    Thanks
    Chris

    Hi,
    I think the channel was getting locked and so, it could not pick up any data.
    Refer the SAP note 849089 for this.

  • Unable to open alert log file

    Hi Guys
    I am using oracle 10.2.0.4.0 on windows 2003 64 . I am unable to open my alert log file. My alert log file opens in a notepad. I get the following error:
    'C:\oracle\admin\efint\bdump\alert_efint.log file is too large for notepad. Use another editor to edit the file.'
    I tried opening it with wordpad. It gives back 'Failed to open document error.'
    My database is working but it wont let me open my alert file. I was able to open it yesterday but not today.
    Any help is appreciated
    Thanks in advance....
    regards

    Hi,
    I recommend that you download tail for windows:
    http://www.x64bitdownload.com/downloads/t-64-bit-tail4win-download-ljrvpdfr.html
    This is the description:
    Tail4Win is a real-time log monitor and viewer, is a windows port of the UNIX 'tail -f' command, it can be used to view the end of a growing file. By using Tail4Win system administrator can monitor log files of server applications in real-time, e.g. Apache's error.log and access.log, or IIS, Tomcat, Resin log files. And programmer can monitor application traces easy and quickly. Tail4win can display the last part of a large file quickly without loading the entire file. And it is a file viewer only, it makes no changes to log files. Main fetures: Monitor changes to files and display the changed lines in realtime. Monitor files of any size quickly, no need to load the entire file. Highlighting and filtering let you focus on important informations. Watch multiple files at same time. Real command line support, just like using Unix/Linux "tail" command. Capture and display OutputDebugString (Windows debugging API) output.

  • Rule created to monitor a single line entries in a text.log file does not work

    Hi All,
    I have this strange issue. I created a script which generates .log file and i have configured a rule to monitor it. Whenever the .log is altered the alert does not come at all in SCOM 2012 R2.
    I want this alert to be raised when one specific line in the center is altered from LISTENING to NOT LISTENING.
    I have configured it. It triggered a alert for the first time and again it did not trigger at all.
    I created this rule and disabled it and overrided the value to true only to the MS acting as the watcher for this log file.
    The log file generates in the local drive of the MS itself.
    Changed the log watcher to a different server and also mentioned the application data source to a network location when the watcher was changed so it can pull the log accordingly.
    The log is generated in the MS itself. Tried using both local location where the log is located as well as converted the same to a network location still didn't help.
    C:\Port_checker is the directory where the .log file is located also there is no other log file present only 1.
    I also changed the parameters such as "Contains, Wildcard matches etc but nothing worked.
    Screenshots:
    2. 
    The SCOM Action account has Full permissions on all servers over the entire forest itself.
    Target used to create this rule is "Windows server operating system"
    Can any one help me please.
    Gautam.75801

    Since you have a script that updates a file line from "LISTENING" to "NOT LISTENING"
    you might want to try and configure a Two State Script Unit Monitor rather then a rule. So your script just need to check say every 5 minutes the content of the log file and generate an alert when it matches "Not Listening" and clear when
    it changes to "listening".

  • Text log file Monitor

    Hi Team,
    i have a task to create a log file example SCOM.log, the log has all text entries and the pattern is like below  
    "[0014 20140724 094527069 SCOM E] ProcessDeposits(), DMGATEWAY internal error in plugin: An exception occurred while processing terminal transaction with HostTransactionID: '4143', tracking fact Id: '3' in the Deposit Gateway Processor task 7. The transaction
    will be NOT be re-queued. // "
    we need to monitor anything which has "DMGATEWAY internal error in plugin:" string.
    sometimes we have greater then 10 entries with in few seconds.
    once the log file reaches 10MB all the entries are moved to an archive log file that means the present SCOM.log file is empty and start from line one again.
    any suggestions \ solution will be a great help and also let me know if you need any further information

    Hi Raj,
    Have a read through this post it highlights issues with log monitoring:  http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/systemcenter/en-US/827464fd-ff06-495d-8ac6-4a6e337314d3/bug-in-scom-log-file-monitor?forum=operationsmanagergeneral
    Have a look at creating a script monitor to monitor the log file:
    http://www.opsmanager.se/2012/11/06/text-log-monitoring-part-1/
    http://www.opsmanager.se/2012/12/17/text-log-monitoring-in-operations-manager-part-2/
    The issue you are experiencing is a limitation of scom which is documented here:
     http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2691973/en-us
    Snippet  from KB:
    Additional Information
    When monitoring a log file, Operations Manager remembers the last line read within the file (a 'high water mark'). It will not re-read data before
    this point unless the file is deleted and recreated, or renamed and recreated, which will reset the high water mark.
    If a logfile is deleted and recreated with the same name within the same minute, the high water mark will not be reset, and log entries will
    be ignored until the high water mark is exceeded. 
    An implication of this is that log files that are cleared periodically without being renamed and recreated, or deleted and recreated, will not have entries in them processed until the high water mark from before the log is cleared is exceeded.
    Operations Manager cannot monitor 'circular log files' (i.e. log files that get to a certain size or line count, then start writing the newest entries at the beginning of the log) for the same reason. The log file must be deleted or renamed and then recreated,
    or the application configured to write to a new log once the current log is filled.
    Cheers,
    Martin

  • Setting up a Log File monitor to inactivity for a set amount of time

    I have set up a number of log file monitors to alert when certain conditions apply, such as the word "ERROR" or "exception".  Now I have a request to set up an alert if the log file has not changed for 20 minutes.  I have been
    searching and have not found any information on how or if this can be done.   Anyone???
    I am running Operations Manager 2012 SP1
    The log files are simple text files.

    Hi!
    You could create a timer reset monitor that reads the log file every 19 minutes for a wildcard pattern (everything matches) and configure the successful search to healthy. Further, you've to configure the timer reset to 20 minutes and configure the
    timer reset state to unhealthy (warning/critical).
    Keep in mind that SCOM reads from the last line from the previous run every time. If your file rotates (based on a schedule or size) SCOM will not read the lines until the latest line is reached. For more information refer to

  • How to Monitor the size of log file (Log4j) During its Generation.

    i have made a program using log4j technology. Now i want to know that is there any method that i can restrict the size of the log file. for example if the size of generating log file exceeds the restricted size then it should be placed in backup and a new file should be automatically generate and remaining contents should be written in that file.
    is there any method that can monitor the size of file during the generation of that (say) log file.

  • Can I monitor a Log file using EMGC 10.2.0.2?

    Hi,
    I am thinking of monitoring my web application log file using EMGC by creating a generic service is that possible. Now we are using some shell scripts to do that but its bit difficult to maintain all these shell scripts on each of the host. Is there any in built in mechanism that enable me to monitor the log file and when a perticular pattern match I would like to send a email notification to concerned people say application admins if there is no out of box option for this do we have plugins to do this. please let me know the possibility of implementing this using EMGC or extencibility plug-ins.
    Ashok Chava.

    Hi,
    I have used "Log File Pattern Matched Line Count" of host to monitor the log files and below is the pattern I have defined for the log file. But i could not find any alerts even there are so many such exceptions in the log file matching the patteren given in EMGC.
    /u01/app/oracle/product/IAS904/sysman/log/emias.log;%oracle.sysman.emSDK.util.jdk.EMException;%
    I have even add the log file in agent_home/sysman/config/lfm_ifiles file as given in the documentation but I could not see any alerts as expected am I doint anything wrong in my setup.
    Please let me know.

  • 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.

  • Automatic log files monitoring

    Hi all!
    is there any tool available which is capable of checking or monitoring my log files, maybe against some (pre)defined rules, and alerts me if some error/failure occurs?
    Best regards!

    Splunk is nice, but it is non-free. It looks like fluentd (AUR) can do the same stuff, though. I haven't tried fluentd personally, but it looks pretty cool.
