SCOM Monitoring - throttling perf counters

Hi,
In performance rules in the BizTalk SCOM MP, there are 4 perf counters (high process memory...). But I'm not able to find the throttling performance counters (Message publishing throttling state and Message delivery throttling state).
May I consider that these counters are not a good way to monitor my BizTalk performance? Without SCOM, it remains for me a good source of informations.
And how can I add these counters manually in a Performance View in SCOM and in an availability rule?
Thanks.

Hello,
BizTalk Server will initialize throttling to protect the system from reaching an unrecoverable state. Throttling can indicate a problem and assist you in identifying its source. After you have identified the cause of the bottleneck based on the throttling
state, analyze the other performance counters to narrow down the source of the problem.
For example, high contention on the MessageBox database could be due to high CPU usage, which could be caused by excessively paging to disk, which could be caused by low memory conditions. High contention on the MessageBox could also be caused by high lock
contention, which could be due to saturated disk drives.
Monitoring the Message Delivery Throttling State and the Message Publishing Throttling State for each host instance is usually a good place to start. If the value of these counters is not zero, it is indicative that throttling is happening within the BizTalk
Server system and it is possible to further analyze the cause of the bottleneck. For descriptions on the other performance counters, see "Identifying Bottlenecks in the Database Tier" in BizTalk Server 2006 R2 Help at

HIGH memory usage in Perf Counters but LOW by SQL components

Hi all,
Our SQL Server has the following specs:
OS: Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition SP1+Cumulative Updates
RAM: 128GB
SQL Server: 2012, Enterprise (SP2), Core-based Licensing (64-bit)
Max Memory Setting: Limited to 123GB
I used performance counters to see memory usage by SQL Server:
SQLServer:MemoryManager:TargetServerMemory(KB)=125,952,000
SQLServer:MemoryManager:TotalServerMemory(KB)=125,634,000
SQLServer:BufferManager:PageLifeExpectancy=104,000
When I use SSMS report (Memory Consumption) and navigate to "Memory usage by components", the sum of "Allocated memory (KB)" is about 34GB and is not equal to TotalServerMemory perf counter.
Please help me to understand relation between this report and perf counters mentioned above.
Many thanks in advance.
Leila

SCOM monitoring of a repetitive alert

I have a vendor system that has an overly aggressive built-in windows event log alert. I am wondering how to work with SCOM to best build an alert that meets my needs.
Our system holds 'unused' data elements in a DB. About once a year we have to go through a request process to add in more of these 'unused' elements. We typically add another million or so rows, and then we are good for another year. The
system uses-up 3-10 thousand rows a day depending on sales volume. This isn't any type of emergency as we have windows event log alerting on this. If we every go below a threshold, which I can set, then the alerting starts adding entries into the
Application Event Log. My threshold is such that I have several weeks to go before there is any real risk.
I want to be alerted via an email generated by a SCOM monitor for this. The trouble seems to come here. The application is setup to add a alert into the application event log EVERY 5 MINUTES until the threshold condition has cleared. I
would like to have the alert sent to me once every day, until I clear the condition. Not just once at the beginning of the event, and not once every five minutes as that would certainly be annoying.
Can anyone help suggest a SCOM setup that would work for this type of error / alert?

Hi There,
For capturing Event logs you will need to setup a Rule.
So the conditions must be tight so you unnecessarily don't get false alert. As rules triger alert that much number of times as the event is logged into the event viewer. I.e 10 Events of your criteria in your Event log, You get 10 Alerts.
1.Use a Alerting Rule
2. Mention the Event id
3. Mention the Event source
4. Mention the Event log location where the log is created (Application or System etc)
5. IMPORTANT- Does your Event description contain the # of less tables when your at risk ? If yes mention the same in the custom criteria for EventDescription and you are done.
For 1,2,3 & 4 - Refer the link: - http://blogs.technet.com/b/smsandmom/archive/2008/11/12/opsmgr-2007-how-to-create-an-alert-rule-based-on-an-event-description.aspx
For 5th - Refer : http://blogs.technet.com/b/kevinholman/archive/2008/04/22/using-event-description-as-criteria-for-a-rule.aspx
Post me if it is clear or if you have any questions.

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

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 to create a customized view in SCOM monitoring to view alerts

Hi All,
I am trying to create a customized view in SCOM 2012 R2 monitoring for command center team to have the alerts from Server OS, AD, Exchange and few other MPs. I understand that I can use the option "Create by Specific source" and by selecting the
required sources but I don't want all the alerts from these sources to be listed there but only few alerts which the respective teams want it to be.
Thanks in advance.

Srini

Hi Srini,
Based on the above requirement, You want to create a Dashboard view with Specific alerts but not all right ?
Based on my understanding on your above requirement i created one in my SCOM. Please let me know if this is what you really wanted ?
For the below you really need to know what are those alerts, ONLY those alerts you want to be displayed in the dashboard.
Then Go to the Monitoring tab in SCOM and then Right click Active alerts and select New -> Select New Alert view
When you select new alert view you will need to specify the Resolution state and the Specific alerts you want.
In the below example i have selected "MSExchange Active sync Alert" as a example. So my goal is here such that only the alerts i have specified from my selection ( "MSExchange Active sync Alert") if it appears in New state will appear
in this view not all other alerts.
So for that i just used the below options:
Resolution state & Alert name
Resolution state = New
Alert name = %MSExchange XXXXXXXX%
Also as of i see there was no option for entering multiple alert names. But i think there is and i am still trying as it accepts some SQL Wild cards. So if any one has an idea what is the wild card what is to be used to mention multiple names in that Name
view please let me know.

SCOM monitoring on windows services in starting or stopping state

Hi,
Any chance if somebody can help me to set alarm on stopping and starting state windows services (automatic services) in SCOM for client servers.
Balys

1) Using Windows Service Template to create a windows service monitor with enabled "monitor only automatic service" option
2) Export the management pack containing the monitor which created in step 1)
3) Modidy data source from

    <ComputerName>$Target/Property[Type="Windows!Microsoft.Windows.Computer"]/NetworkName$</ComputerName>
    <ServiceName>XXXX</ServiceName>

SCOM monitor on Thin Clients

Dear all,
We know that we cannot configure SCOM agent on Thin Clients . We would like to know if we can set up a SNMP monitor for Thin Client?
We are able to discover through ICMP , but not through SNMP. We need to achieve monitor the Thin Clients up and down (Availablity ) only?
One more question Via ICMP , can we monitor Thin Clients up and down (Availablity )?
Sengottuvel

My thought is no, and here's why.
According to this TechNet article: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh212935.aspx, it states:
Windows computers running SNMP are filtered out of discovery results if:
The device type is “Host” and the vendor is “Microsoft”
The sysDescription field contains “Microsoft”
The sysOid starts with .1.3.6.1.4.1.311.1.1.3.1
The sysOid contains 1.3.6.1.4.1.199.1.1.3.11
Therefore, I don't think you will be able to use SNMP to monitor the Thin Clients. You could use ICMP (aka PING), and make a simple monitor to PING the system. If there is a response, it is up, otherwise, it is down. But you also have to take network latency
into question, since that might case packets to drop, etc. which might throw a false-positive.

SCOM monitoring basics

I realize that there are out-of-the-box monitors and alerts. But, as a learning experience, I want to view the free space on the C: drive of my production servers as a health state. It should show all of my production servers as green, unless the free
space on the C: drive drops below 10% and then it should show red.
1)
Under “Administration”, I created a management pack and I called it “Production Servers MP”.
2)
I want a group that only contains my production servers (“PROD” is in the server name).
Under “Authoring”, I went to the “Groups” section and I created a new group called “Production Servers Group”.
I selected the “Production Servers MP”.
I added “Dynamic Members” to the group.
I created a rule that says “(Object is Windows Server AND (DNS Name Contains PROD) AND True).
There were no Subgroups or Excluded Members.
3)
Under “Authoring”, I went to the “Monitors” section and I created a new “unit monitor”. It is “Windows Performance Counter” – “Simple Threshold”.
I selected the “Production Servers Group” that I created earlier for the “Monitor Target”.
I selected “Performance” for the “Parent Monitor”.
For the Performance Counter, I selected “Logical Disk” for the Object, “% Free Space” for the counter and “C:” for the Instance.
I gave it a threshold value of 10%.
I checked the box for “Generate alerts for this monitor”.
I left it at Priority at Medium and Severity at Critical.
4)
When I go to the “Monitoring” section, I can see the “Production Servers MP” group that I created.
I’m very confused at this point. No matter what options I try to give for creating a State View, it doesn’t show me the monitor I made.
How do I create a “state view” that will only show the health of the free space of drive C: from the monitor that I created?

Hi
Just to add to what John has already stated in a more general answer. You cannot create monitoring in this way. Although it is "logical" to think that you are applying a rule or a monitor to a group, SCOM does not work this way.
You need to target a class. Never target a rule, monitor or discovery at a group. It just won't work the way you expect:

http://blogs.technet.com/b/momteam/archive/2007/11/14/targeting-series-part-2-why-targeting-a-computer-group-fails.aspx
A poster called Rule and Monitor Targeting Best Practices is available in pdf format at:

Equally - if you are ever looking to create a monitor that checks multiple instances of the same class, then you need to follow this:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/kevinholman/archive/2009/11/24/writing-monitors-to-target-logical-or-physical-disks.aspx
There is a steep learning curve to SCOM and it might be worth looking through some technet labs and also this:

Hi,
Have you added Windows Azure subscription to operations manager? And we may need to set up Windows Azure monitoring with management pack templates and create views for Azure.
Please follow the article below to configure Azure monitoring:

SCOM - Monitors for Management Packs

Hi All,
Can any one share the information how we can get the list of monitors in a management pack in SCOM 2012 R2.
The SCOM 2007 R2 cmdlet doesn't work in SCOM 2012 R2.
Rgs,

Hi
there is no option to pull threshold for monitors/rules, as each rule/monitor has different schema of workflow.
you can use mp viewer to see threshold for monitor/rule and make a note of threshold as it is one time activity( you no need to apply mp viewer on library and discovery mp in general for Microsoft MP) and you can apply override explorer to get override values
for monitor/rules this gives current effective threshold.
refer below link for scom 2012 tools.

SCOM - Monitoring statistics in an Management group

Hi All,
Can someone share any information that how we can get a consolidated data on the monitoring statisticcs of what all things are monitored in a management group in SCOM 2007 R2. I need to give a presentationon details of parameters being monitored and comprehensive
picture of the monitoring statistics in and environment.
Rgs,

Hi,
Based on my understanding that you want to list all monitored objects within your management group, if that, then this is a very big data.
We can use Get-SCOMClassInstance command to get one or more class instances. As there are many classes that monitored, and for each class, we also have many instances.
As we know, with proper management pack imported, and then we can discovery proper objects to monitor. Such as Active Directory. But to know what information is monitored, we should know all monitors and rules in the management pack. This is also a very
large data.
Most time, we use SCOM to monitor those servers or network devices based on our need, and with the proper management packs imported, we get those monitored. And we should also read the management pack guide to use it more proper. And with those monitors
and rules, we can get alerts, warnings. And we can also check performance viewers for those monitored objects.

SCOM Monitoring Multiple interface of a same network device

hi
I have deployed SCOM 2012 R2. I have discovered around 200 network device by using device's loopback IP adress with SNMP v3.
100 dvices are in the branch offices those are connected with 3 links in three interfaces respectively. Even if two link is down, i can see that my network device is healthy since network device is discovered with the loopback address. How can i configure
my network monitoring so that even if one link goes down i can see some kind of warning or error in the particular network device in my monitoring pane. Please say if my infrastructure is unclear.

Hi,
You can create built-in network ICMP only network monitoring for the three interfaces respectively.
