Services Monitoring Dashboard in OEM

when I tried to run Service Monitoring Dashboard in OEM, one of the screen ask for the "Web Application to included in this report" so I was trying to picl the web site "EM WEbsite" (the only one target type that I have in my GRID), two questions
1. what is this EM Website for?
2. right now it show as down, do I need for it to be up? everything in my GRID seems to work ok but this guy is down and I don't know what it's for.
Thanks,

The EM website is EM's user interface - i.e. <hostname>:<port number>/em.
Service Leve Management (SLM) in Enterprise Manager is designed to help you model the service level agreement or operational level agreement that you define between your business users and IT, and between IT groups. To monitor the service level of applications, SLM is typically used with EM's synthetic transaction monitoring capabilities. For example, you may want to define synthetic transactions to simulate end users logging into your application, issuing queries, clicking on links, etc... in order to collect controlled measurements of application performance and availability.
Since Enterprise Manager itself is an application, we decided to set up a test to monitor it at well. What you typically want to do is to take the base setup that we provide to you, and add more beacons. Beacons are synthetic transaction "robots" that are used to send these synthetic transactions to the applications. For example, if your data center where EM is located is in the U.S., and you have administrators logging in from the U.K., you may want to deploy a beacon at their location so that the beacon can test from their location whether they can access EM or not. I am not sure why your EM website is down. Chances are something changed in your EM setup and the synthetic transaction is no longer valid. All you have to do is replace the existing test with a new one. At any case, the EM website being down is not going to affect your use of SLM in EM.
Hope this helps.

Cisco Unified Operations Manager v Cisco Service Monitor

I am unfamiliar with both od these products. Both seem to overlap in that they seem to aim for end to end voice quality management, relying on the 1040 probe.
Am I off base here? Are they similar products, one or both maybe OEM'd???
Are they widely deployed?
Any thoughts welcome.
Regards

Hi Gordon,
They are very much complimentary. In fact, installing OM used to install SM by default on same box.
OM doesn't collect info from the 1040 probes. SM does this, and then alerts to OM if thresholds are breached.
OM will then display the alert.
Operations Manager is very much about actively monitoring the health of the UC environment. Here's a couple of practical examples of what it does:
- Maps out a logical view of the environment
- Performs scheduled tests - checks CM reg, dial tone, TFTP
- Simulates calls with both synthetic phones and even real phones
- Interactive tests - check phone features are working etc
- Performance management - view utilisation of GW's CM's etc.
- IP SLA - simulated calls, jitter testing across the network using routers / switches and IP SLA features
- Alert monitoring - dashboard view
Service Monitor is very focussed on measuring the actual user experience of calls.
- It can use CDR / CMR records (with no 1040 HW sensors deployed) to record, and monitor the quality of individual calls
- It can also use the 1040 HW sensors to collect more granular call quality details.. (it sends the details to SM via syslog constantly)
- Report and alert on call quality based on thresholds (Alerts are sent to OM and appear in your alerts window)
The only real overlap I would say is that OM does some quality tests with IP SLA, but it is based on synthetic calls rather than working with data about real calls.
There is also another module, Unified Service Statistics Monitor, I'd recommend looking at this too, it provides the historical component, and also a variety of different reporting - including service levels and executive style dashboards.
I've done a few deployments. Standard network management principles apply, and I think this is where a lot of them fall down. No product can manage your network for you automatically, the biggest part is people and process. Once you have this in place you can definitely use products like OM, SM to automate and simplify.
The larger and more complex your network, the more valuable and useful these products can become.
My recommendation is to get the eval copy, and try them out. You do need to think carefully about what you want to achieve though, without this step, an install of these products probably won't impress. The art is all about the setup.
Cheers,
Tim

SCOM 2012 Service Level Dashboard

I have been tasked with creating a Service level dashboard for SCOM 2012. After reading up on various blogs and sites around methods and BI / reporting tools I am no closer to knowing what would be the best solution, and would appreciate some guidance.
I want to create SLO groups for applications - Exchange, AD, SQL, SCCM etc. and have a high level heat map with measures like CPU util, Disk space %, latency etc. updated every minute and displayed in each block (preferably using corners of a single block),
and if possible to add a bootstrap style icon into each block.
I would like drill down functionality on each group that then breaks down into another heatmap (per server).
And then to drill down further which displays a SLD type dashboard on that instance.
I am comfortable with creating the final level SLD using widgets, would it be possible to use Visio for the heatmaps ?
I have looked into using Power View, would conditional formatting be a better option ?
Id like to publish the dashboard into Sharepoint.
Would appreciate your feedback. Once i know which solution to look into, it would become much easier to focus my attention.

Global Service Monitor (GSM) Config

Hello all, I have recently configured GSM with the external monitoring services being in the U.S.
When I look at the monitor - Authoring>MP Objects>Monitors>Multi-URL Template (*Monitor Name*) it shows enabled is set to true.
However when I look at - Monitoring>Monitoring>Application Monitoring>Web Application Availability Monitoring>Web Application Status - The monitor does not have a check mark next to it.
When I look at - Monitoring>Monitoring>Application Monitoring>Web Application Availability Monitoring>Test State - none of the five external servers are checked and they all say "Not Monitored"
So I'm trying to figure out if it's enabled or not and if not where do I go to enable it? When I have setup internal (Non GSM) web tests they are just enabled so I'm not sure what's different with this one.
Thank you,
Matt

Hi,
Would you please restart the health service on the external servers. And we may try to flush health service state and caches for those server.
In addition, have you followed the below link to install GSM:

Having Issue with Service Monitor Report when using Oracle DB

Hi,
I set up Oracle XE to store monitoring and message data for Service Monitor. I configured the Database Connection in Policy Studio, and deployed the configuration. When starting the Service Monitor, I got "There are no reporting nodes configured." error.

It looks like the repConfig.xml file needs to be updated. If so, what elements? Anything else i am missing?

You need to add a Gateway node the service monitor.
To do this browse to http://HOST:8040/
Using the default port, you can connect to the Service Monitor interface in a browser, where HOST points to the IP address or hostname of the machine on which Service Monitor is installed.
Right mouse click and add the Gateway node.

Issue in Global Services Monitor GSM

Dear all,
I'm facing a problem in Global Services Monitor.
The Resources pool contains 4 Management Servers; 2 old and 2 recently installed.
The GSM was installed and was working normally on the old Management Servers.
But, after increasing the number of management servers to be 4 instead of two, the problem appeared.
The GSM is firing alerts on the new MS's and their state are critical (old 2 servers are healthy).
The alert description is as below:

Hi
Is there any requirement to install the Microsoft Root Certificate on the server where SCOM console is working? Shall I need to purchase Windows Azure Subscription also for GSM? Please let me know.
The scenario is - I have one SCOM server (Including all the server roles on the single server) and other server where VMM server and SCOM console is installed. I have installed GSM Management Packs on the SCOM server and configured one Web Availability Monitor
to be monitored from external servers (e.g. Chicago).

Service monitoring is not showing all the services when i create a service monitor under Management pack templates.

Hi All,
I am using SCOM 2007 R2 CU4 in my environment. I want to do a service monitoring on specific agents. When i try creating this service monitor which comes under the Management pack template when i select the service which i want to monitor it does not
show all the services in the drop down.
For example - I have Windows audio service which is present on the machine, But it is not showing in the service list.
So from the services stating from "W" i see only 5 in SCOM and in services.msc in the Agent i see more than 5.
Below is the screen shot.
Can any one please help.
Gautam.75801

Hi Yan Li,
So based on your above suggestion, If the services are already managed / monitored by a specific
management pack those services will not appear here in the Wizard while creating this type of a Management pack object alert right ?
If that is the case why does not the same reflect here in the operations console in the Services monitor
TAB ?

Business Objects Reports and Web Services for Dashboards

Hello!
I am writing a Business Object report against my Universe. I save the report to the CMS and then right click on the report block and click "Publish as a Web Service...". This opens up that diaglog and I am able to publish the web service. I then can import the web service into Dashboards 4.1 (Xcelsius) and am working working to figure it out further at this point.
My question is this: When I go back to the report in Business Objects, and modify the report, I would like to republish the web service. I click on Design and rework the report. Run the report. Save the report. I right click on the report block and I don't see the "Publish as a Web Service..." choice.
What am I doing wrong?
Business Objects 4.1...
Thank you.

Hi Susan,
Go to the web service publisher, expand the web service, select the block and select edit.
Select the content and prompt and select Update.
Regards,
Abhilasha

Setting up service monitoring on a group of servers, but only alerting when the service is down on all servers

Hey All -
I have the need to monitor one service that exist on 3 servers, but the service only runs on one of the servers at a time, and the servers are not set up as a cluster. Any ideas around how to accomplish this?

Hi,
Create a service monitor as previously described and then create a distributed application and add the new service monitor for all servers to a component group. Then set the health rollup to Best state of any member - I think that should work...

CAD service monitor requires SNMP config

When attempting to run the CAD service monitor on the server the page loads but the connection to the server for process status times out on the SNMP connection.
URL = http://<CAD server>:8088/smc/monitor.jsp
Error Message = Status: [Tue Sep 06 15:12:47 EST 2011] java.lang.Exception: SplkSnmpHandler: snmpTimeoutError
The system is licensed and running with all other functionality working as tested for UAT. The Cisco SNMP is enabled to send traps to a remote host and the CAD postinstall is configured to generate traps to the same host.
As the windows SNMP client is disabled due to the UCCE install is there any additional config needed on the CISCO SNMP to get this functionality working for CAD?

Can anyone running CAD 8.x please test the monitor.jsp and post if it's broken!
Even the TAC lab is down.

How to create Service Monitor - best Way

I have a task at hand :
Creating monitor to alert when a service is stopped.
We are using SCOM 2012
I checked and found various ways to do so http://www.bictt.com/blogs/bictt.php/2011/03/16/scom-monitoring-a-service-part1
My requirement is : there are like 100 such services on 100 different windows computers that i need to monitor.
The services are not common , so 2 computers have the same service , Maybe some service that i need to be monitored be on 2 computers but overall every service is unique.
What is my best option:
1.Create a basic unit monitor and target to Windows computer class ? Create is as disabled ? Override for just the machine that has it.
Will it clutter my Windows Server class health explorer . (How bad is that as per performance)
2.Create a Service monitor using Windows Service templates
Do i have to create 100 target groups , as i have to Target the monitor to specific computer only
Since template service monitor create discoveries , targets etc on its own (Am i going to clutter SCOM with a lot of those) 100
3.Do i create a attribute for each service , so as to extend the windows base class to discover the computer that has specific service (Using registry)
too much work is it and how good of an option is this.
4.MP Authoring ,Create new class discovery based on WMI / Registry to find computer and then target the monitor
What would you do in such a case.

An example is the windows service monitoring from the Windows Management Packs. Microsoft does not discover any of these services. The MPs discover the Windows 2003 \ 2008 \ 2012 Operating System Class and the basic service monitors are targetted at
this class. This means it is relatively light weight monitoring (less overhead on the agent and less discovery information in the databases) but it does mean that you can't add any of these services to a distributed application or report on their availability.
You don't report on individual monitors but on objects which may have many monitors targetted at them.

If you want to actually report on the availability of this windows service (or add it to a Distributed Application) then you do need to discover it - either via the Authoring Template or authoring your own discoveries.
Only you can decide what you need and you might have a different need for each service depending on what it is doing.
Jonathan Almquist has a good walk through here about how to change service monitoring to allow for consecutive occurrences of a service being unavailable but it is deep authoring.

Currently we have a requirement where we have to develop a Central Monitoring Dashboard where we can monitor the health of SAP as well no SAP systems. We are trying to build a custom dashboard of our own.
To do that, we are looking for pointers on:
1.Methods/Logic for creating the dashboard(using sap, java or any other technology)
2.Contents of the dashboard
Your inputs would be highly appreciated

Hi,
There are few dashboards available in Wily Introscope already & you can use solution manager as well for centralized monitoring of the entire landscape.
But, all depends what do you intend to do with this dashboard.

How to monitor transactions in OEM

Hi All,
Can anyone please tell me how can I monitor transactions in OEM 12c Cloud Control?
Thanks in Advance!!

You can manage them with the Java Console but with limited functionality. It will be best to use Grid Control if you have the license.
Metalink Note:277066.1 shows features available in the different EM versions.

"Polling not started" on VPN Monitor Dashboard

I always get the message "Polling not started" on VPN Monitor Dashboard for the Pix firewall device I have in my list.
Is there any way to trigger polling ?
Thank you for your help.

One possible reason : wrong community string etc. By default, it should run every five minutes
