Get-SCOMAlert -ComputerName dbdtScomProd | Where-Object {$_.ResolutionState -eq “0” -and $_.Owner -eq “NULL”}

Using SCOM to collect Sharepoint usage statistics?

We’re running System Center 2012 with SharePoint Management Pack installed. It’s not really used in anger, but recently we have been asked to output stats on user logins and concurrent connections from the reporting console.

Having reviewed the guide for the 2013 SharePoint MP, I can’t see any monitors or rules that would enable this. Unless I’m missing something?

Does this mean it would have to be done at a Windows server level, and if so what are the monitors that would enable the stat to be collected in the Data Warehouse?

Any help appreciated. Thank you!

how can i retrieve the name of iis server where azure websites are deployed

Can i connect remotely to azure IIS server where all the azure websites are deployed and monitor all those web applications using system center operations manager 2012 r2.Is it possible to get the name or ip address of the iis server under a azure subscription. Thanks In Advance Suresh Gaddam

SCOM isn't recording Performance Counters for SQL

I am working on a installation of SCOM, monitoring some SQL Servers. However, I am having an issue collecting the performance counters.

In particular, in SCOM it is showing that the Page Life Expectancy is 0 for all of my SQL Server, when in fact is above 20,000 on most of the servers.

I can't see anything in the SCOM Logs to suggest why this is happening. Any suggestions as to the possible cause, or places to look for more information will be greatly appreciated.

Matching a property string from an array of keywords

I am working on a SCOM script to sort alerts based on MonitoringObjectName , Since there are servers with different names , I want to match this (MonitoringObjectName) property string against a list of keywords. I was wondering how can I match the property against the keywords placed in an array

$keywords = @("ABC","DEF","XYZ","GHI")
Get-SCOMAlert | ? ($_.MonitoringObjectName -like "*$keyword*"

Looking for ideas/hints how this can be done

Way to use powershell params in comparison?

I have some ps code, that downloads xml via http and check some xml in it

[xml]$stuff = $wc.DownloadString('url') 

$xmlvalue = $stuff.SelectSingleNode('xpath') 

if ($xmlvalue.'#text' -eq "value")

{
$state = 'OK'
Write-Host 'ok'    
}

All i need is an ability to run that script as

script.ps1 -url -xpath -operator -value

It`s no problem at all, except -operator

I can`t use param like -operator "-eq", because it will be an error

Any way to do it ?

Finding regular expressions on files takes a long time

I'm developing a VBS script for finding 3 cases of regular expressions contained into files. I've already my own script that works fine finding but it takes a long time in execution.

The 3 cases of regular expresions are:

SCOM: How to display custom perf counters from Services

I have a number of Windows Services written in .NET/C# and each of these have custom performance counters added via the System.Diagnostics.CounterCreationData and System.Diagnostics.CounterCreationDataCollection classes. In System Center 2012 I have a Dashboard for each of these Services in which I want to display/graph the values from my custom counters. However, I only see the standard performance counters which are the same for all Services and can not find my custom counters anywhere. My counters are visible via PerfMon but SCOM does not see them. Is it possible to do what I want, and how?

Thanks

What is best way to call SCOM SDK Inbound connector from managment pack?

I have created a SCOM inbound connector based on the example code from How to Create Inbound Connectors. I run the code and my objects appear in operations manager as expected.

I cannot find any guidance as to how to get my discovery executable to get automatically called - ideally it would be run just like a "Discovery" snippet in the management pack. Another option I thought of would be a Agent Task but I'm not sure that can be scheduled. A third option would just be to install the code as a service completely outside of the management pack.

Is there a best practices on how to execute / schedule the execution of a custom inbound connector?

Using Microsoft SCOM to scan log4j files

I am looking to have alerting using the SCOM utility based on scanning of log files written by log4j, eg using the DailyRollingFileAppender standard appender.

However, the SCOM documentation specifically states that it keeps a high water mark line number on a log file, and if it is truncated within a minute, it will not take notice of log entries before that line number.

Unless I missed something, this would seem to be an issue for all the standard appenders, which do specifically that (ie they always log to a single file name, then when he wrap criteria are met, they copy the contents of the file to an archive, and then clear (somehow) the same file name.

Can anyone solve this for me (eg identify another way that SCOM can be used, or point me at an alternative appender?)

SCOM Document extract... 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.

Thanks

SCOM Operations Manager 2012 agent installation fails with

Run PowerShell Script In SCOM Via Windows Command Line

I am working with a 3rd party application which creates powershell scripts to place SCOM objects into and out of maintenance mode. How can SCOM be invoked via windows 2012 R2 command line by this 3rd party app and told to execute the script?

SCOM diagnostic and recovery script starting service remains in "Starting" mode

I have a diagnostic and recovery script to stop and start service. After SCOM runs the powershell script, the service stops successfully and when trying to start it remains in "started" mode. There needs to be a 15 seconds timeout before starting the service and SCOM is not waiting for the 15 seconds. The windows service has 25 threads running and it takes time to stop this service gracefully.

The powershell script works from Dos Prompt. Just does not work from SCOM diagnostic and recovery. The timeout for the management pack has been increased to 600 seconds.

SCOM recovery script - want to start a new independent process

I am running a SCOM recovery script and it is timing out. I have a launcher.bat file which calls "start cmd /c a.bat" and a.bat does all the work.

The issue is that when the parent process dies, the a.bat process also stops without completing. Is there anyway to keep the a.bat process running independently of the launcher.bat.

Thanks
