Hey,

I've tried importing this MP and putting it in authoring console, both of the tries output errors, please let me know, this looks very promising and helpful, and i have much use of this mp xml!

Thanks mate!

Copy the xml code from Boris and past it into notepad. Save the document "NTServiceBasedDiscoverySample.MP.xml" then you can open it with the Authoring Console.

Is it possible to do the wildcard on this service discovery? I have multiple services with the first couple characters are the same. Thanks.

Hello Boris,

We have implemented the service-based discovery and it working great as long as our other server admins name the service exactly the same. My question is can wildcards be used at all, such as Alert* or Alert% in order to discover servers that contain services with variations of that name? Thank you.

Hey Boris, thanks for this post! I was wondering if you could advise how I would go about modifying this discovery to target Microsoft.Windows.Server and ignore discovery on instances where IsVirtualNode = true? I'm not exactly sure where the expression for this would go?

Thanks for your help in advance!

You need to add a condition detection module and check the property value.

I added the following condition detection module to be a member module of the sample.discovery.datasource as follows:

<XPathQuery>$Config/IsVirtual$</XPathQuery>

</ValueExpression>

<Operator>NotEqual</Operator>

</ValueExpression>

</SimpleExpression>

</Expression>

</ConditionDetection>

I get the following error in the event log of the agent attempting to run the module:

The Microsoft Operations Manager Expression Filter Module could not initialize properly. The passed in expression could be invalid.

Error: 0x80070057

Can you help?

I got it finally. I did not need the $config values, just the $target property in the expression filter and it worked. Thanks!

Hi Boris,

Wondering if you have a suggestion for this one.

I have made a similar MP based on a reg key discovery for a service.

My display component was;

<Value>Service on $Target/Property[Type="Windows!Microsoft.Windows.Computer"]/NetbiosComputerName$</Value>

Somehow, while doing some further testing with changes I have impacted the Name and Display Name of Windows Computer,

i.e. in a state view targeted to Windows Computer, the Name is "Service on Server1" and Display name is "Service on Server1"

The MP was further revised before I noticed this so I can't retrace my steps and removing the MP doesn't resolve the Name issue. I am at a loss to figure out how this happenened as it was a pretty simple MP and I have done it several times before.

Any thoughts on how I can change the Name and Display Name of the Windows Computer back to what they were?

Thanks,

Aengus
