Announcing New System Center Operations Manager 2007 Packs for WSS 3.0 and MOSS 2007

The Solution Accelerator’s team is excited to announce the release of the SharePoint Monitoring Toolkit. This toolkit consists of a set of System Center Operations Manager 2007 management packs designed to help IT pros monitor their WSS 3.0 and MOSS 2007 and 2007 SP1 environments. These newly released packs were engineered to take advantage of SCOM 2007’s features, including new and improved reporting, additional actions, new views, and integrate IIS and SQL health rollup for a better understanding of the system-level dependencies of the SharePoint environments.

 

These packs replace currently released SCOM 2007 packs for WSS 3.0 and MOSS 2007, and eliminate any dependencies on backward compatibility packs.

 

Here are some highlights of what you can expect:

  • Substantial increase in number of rules, including the addition of performance rules
  • New and improved reports
    • Top ten most common events
    • Top ten most common alerts
    • Event analysis report
    • Performance Report (based on counters)
    • Alert Report (Specific to individual target objects)
  • Additional actions
    • MOSS
      • Start MOSS SSO Service
      • Start MOSS Load Balancer Service
      • Start MOSS Launcher Services
      • Start MOSS Search Service
      • IIS Reset
      • Recycle App Pool
      • IIS Recycle App Pool Log Events
    • WSS
      • Start WSS Timer Services
      • Start WSS Tracing Service
      • Start WSS Search Service
      • IIS Reset
  • New views
    • Alerts
    • Events
    • Performance (set proper select range)
    • Health State
    • Task Status
    • Application Inventory
    • Server Inventory
  • Reduction of redundant information through tuning and event suppression
  • Thoroughly tested compatibility with:
    • System Center Operations Manager 2007
    • System Center Essentials
    • Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 SP1

 

This Solution Accelerator can be downloaded from the Microsoft Download Center and will soon be available through the  System Center Management Pack Catalog.

We look forward to learning how these will help you manage your SharePoint environments.

 

Special thanks to Todd Klindt SharePoint MVP, Shane Young SharePoint MVP for rules analysis.

Management Packs have issues with all servers that don't have MOSS or WSS 3 installed...

This likes like a nice little package. Will be installing on a dev box in the coming days. Has anyone else played with this yet?

# re: Announcing New System Center Operations Manager 2007 Packs for WSS 3.0 and MOSS 2007

Colin,

Where are you seeing the exceptions take place? Can you please provide more details? (Do you see them in SCOM Health Service, FE event log, custom view, etc.)

Thanks!

On SCOM:

Monitoring : Active Alerts

As it is an active alerts and thus emailed... it is logged as a warning and affects the health status of those servers.

Within a few minutes of loading the management packs into SCOM the alerts were generated.

I just closed the alerts, and so far, they haven't come back...

# re: Announcing New System Center Operations Manager 2007 Packs for WSS 3.0 and MOSS 2007

Colin,

This is a known behavior. You should not see this alert again unless you reinstall the packs or restarts the servers (which causes the discovery script to run again).

There will be a KB coming out to document this behavior as well.

# re: Announcing New System Center Operations Manager 2007 Packs for WSS 3.0 and MOSS 2007

You can get around it by doing the following:

1. Create a new MOSS MP for overrides (or put them in another unsealed MP if

you like).

2. Override "MOSS 2007 Server Script Discovery" for all Windows computers,

disabling it.

3. Override the discovery again for each MOSS 2007 server you have, enabling

it this time.

That should fix you up...of course, you have to make sure to enable the

discovery for each new MOSS 2007 server add or you won't be monitoring MOSS

on it.

# re: Announcing New System Center Operations Manager 2007 Packs for WSS 3.0 and MOSS 2007

I find it hard to believe you feel this is acceptable behaviour, you may as well have omited the discovery alltogether and have us manually add the servers to a computer group or groups. imagine my shock and surprise when 912 agents started generating alerts!
