SQL Service monitoring

Hi Experts
I have a very basic question on SQL Server 2005&2008 service monitoring. We have SCCM 2012 in our environment and i would like to know if SCCM 2012 has the capability to monitor/ to know all the SQL Services(SQL,SQLAgent,FTS,SSAS,SSRS,SSIS) are
available and are up and running. Send out an email if the services are rebooted/restarted.
-Pradeep.

Might ask them over here.

Failed to Find SQL Service

When running the Lync 2013 Deployment wizard and running Step 2 Setup and Remove Lync Server Components, I get the following error "Failed to find SQL Service. Make sure that SQL Server Service (instance name LyncArchiving) is installed in machine
<machine name>. This also occurs for instance LyncMonitoring. After searching for a solution, it was suggested that it could be fixed by running the Topology Builder and unchecking the Archiving and Monitoring features. I did that and
then published the topology again. Got same error. Any suggestions?

Ben,
I deployed Lync Standard Edition not Enterprise Edition. When I deployed the Front End pool, I selected to deploy it as a Standard Edition Server. I then inadvertently select the Archiving and Monitoring features. It does not give you the
option of using a seperate SQL server. I did not specify any other SQL server so the archiving and monitoring instances should have been created on my front end. Apparently they were not. The error messages I get are "Failed to find SQL Service. Make
sure that SQL Server service (instance name LyncArchiving) is installed in machine LyncFE1.micoen.local" and "Failed to find SQL Service. Make sure that SQL Server service (instance name LyncMonitoring)...". In the uninstall cmdlet I did reference
the instance name and server from the error message. The use of the -force switch did not help.

Understanding a service monitor "Service Details"?

I am just trying to understand an alert coming from the ConfigMgr/SCCM 2012 management pack but I guess my question is a bit broader than that in that it will help me understand over service alerts
For most service monitoring I just look at the basic service monitor itself and the “service details”. For instance the monitoring the WMI service just shows as “WinMgmt” as I would expect.
However I have an alert for a “ConfigMgr Site Role Issue”. When I use health explorer this then shows as “Site SQL Backup Service Monitor”. When I look at the “service details” for this it shows as –
$Target/Property[Type="SCCM!Microsoft.SystemCenter2012.ConfigurationManager.SqlServer"]/BackupServiceName$
I just wonder if someone can explain this line and what its actually looking at? Is there somewhere I can view this better as to what it is monitoring?

Hi,
BackupServiceName$ should be one property defined under the sqlserver class which is defined in Microsoft.SystemCenter2012.ConfigurationManager MP.
You may need to open the XML which defined the class, and then ctrl+f to search the key word “BackupServiceName$”

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:
Global Service Monitor Modules: Failed to discover Global Service Monitor locations.

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 ?

List of sql services required for deployment server?

What are the role of list of sql services in case of BizTalk, like notification service is required for BAM.
Along with can any one let me know the minimum services of SQL required on production.
1.Database Engine Services
SQL Server Replication
Full-Text Search
2.Analysis Services
3.Reporting Services
4.Shared Features
Business Intelligence Development Studio
Client Tools Connectivity
Integration Services
Management Tools – Basic
Is it mandatory to install analysis, integration services on production server.
Please suggest!
Fred

Sorry, that is not correct. SQL components beyond Database Services are required in most circumstances.
It's important you understand what to install based on your application requirements.
The definitive guides can be found here:
BizTalk Server 2009:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=4066
BizTalk Server 2010:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa561167.aspx
BizTalk Server 2013:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj248688(v=bts.80).aspx
As a matter of practice, I always install all BizTalk realted SQL Server features, even if they are not used. This is for consistency across environments, reliable patching and to accomodate any future BizTalk app features.

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!

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.

SQL 2005 Setup on Win7 Ultimate [No SQL Services after installation]

Win 7 Ultimate (64bit)
4GB RAM
New installation of Win 7 Ultimate
Re-installation of SQL: Originally SQLExpress which didn't work out so I went to SQL2005 Standard Edition SP1 & updated to SQL2005 SP4. I installed Visual Studio 2005 during the SP1 installation. Actually, I installed all SQL2005 components
'just in case'.
I had attempted, unsuccessfully, to install SQLExpress so I uninstalled all SQLExpress components via Programs and Features, removed all SQL related directories and subdirectories in c:\Program Files (x86)\SQL.... and started the DVD setup.exe installation.
[I didn't do a RegEdit32!]
Uniquely, During installation of SQL2005, I wasn't asked for the SQL Product Key nor whether the mode was Windows or Mixed (I want Mixed Mode). Now, after rebooting with all MS updates (Win7 and SQL2005) I don't see any SQL services even though the
Microsoft SQL Server 2005, Backward compatibility and Books etc are listed as installed under Programs and Features. IIRC, I saw a message regarding ASP.Net for 64bit being installed but some issues on the 32bit not being installed (warning message).
So, how do I get the necessary SQL 2005 services installed and get SQL functional??? I'm open to a complete re-install if necessary. My original DVD is SQL2005 Standard Edition SP1, fyi.
THANKS!

1) SQL Server Configuration Manager? Yes, I do under "Configuration Tools" When selecting this and going into SQL Server 2005 Services I get "There are no items to show in this view".
2) Exact SQL Server edition? From Help of SQL Server Configuration Manager: 2005.090.5000.00
3) Compact Edition installed? I used the SQL2005 SP1 Standard Edition DVD and then selected setup.exe. If you'd like for me to uninstall SQL and reinstall I will (including removing appropriate SQL Server directories). I'd remove the RegEdit
entries but I don't know where/what they are. [[Note!: See #4 below where under Server Type I see "SQL Server Compact Edition ... as well as Database Engine, Analysis Services, Reporting Services and Integration Services]
4) ??: Since I can't get into SQL Server Management Studio. I get "Cannot connect to XYZ02" "A network-related or instance specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL server. The server was not found or was not accessible.
Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (Provider: Named Pipes Provider, error:40- Could not open a connection to SQL server) (Microsoft SQL server, Error:2)" [Note: XYZ02 is the name
of the laptop and I used: Server Type: Database Engine; Server Name: XYZ02 (I had to enter as it wasn't listed); Authentication: Windows Authentication
So, suggestions... looks like I DO have Compact Edition? Thoughts?????
Thanks
BTW, I have another 64bit laptop (same mfr/model but with 8GB vs this 4GB under 64bit Win7 Ultimate) that runs SQL fine. Been running SQL 2005 on it for 3-4+ years.
