Hi.

This Powershell script that can create the "TCP port monitoring" and works perfect.
https://code.google.com/p/mod-posh/source/browse/powershell/playground/CreatePortMonitoring.ps1
Syntax:
.\CreatePortMonitoring.ps1 -serverName:‘server’ -portNumber:‘80’ -pollIntervalSeconds:‘120’ -watcherNodes:“server” -displayName:‘Test TCP monitoring’ -targetMP:‘testMP’

I am now trying to modify the script so it can create "Web Application Availabillity Monitoring"
But i am a little stuck here.

So my quistion is:
Anyone knows if there is someone who have created a Powershell script that can create  "Web Application Availabillity Monitoring" ?

Thanks

Custom Monitor Health State Troubleshooting Techniques

September 16, 2014, 8:34 am
$
0

Hi,

I have created a Custom Timed Script 2-state Monitor through Ops Console in SCOM 2012 SP1 and the health state is misbehaving and remains Healthy always, even while the unhealthy expression should be evaluated as True.

I have confirmed the monitor is targeted to class IIS FTP Server, as the monitor appears in Health Explorer for FTP Server and is displayed as enabled.

I have used LogScriptEvent in the script to write an event of the results of the script on the agent and the value that will be passed back to the SCOM server, so I also know the script is executing and generating the correct results.

The script returns a numeric value, either 0 or a positive value (ie. no negative value number).

The healthy expression is = 0.  The unhealthy expression is > 0.

The returned value represents the number of missing files and when it is for example 12, the health state is not changing to unhealthy and no alert is generated.

I have updated the MP version and confirmed the agent receives the latest version.

I have flushed the agent health state.

I have reset and recalculated the monitor.

I have reviewed agent and server event logs and do not see any related errors.

I have used a simple alert description in case it itself had an error and was preventing a healthy state change.

I have review the xml and see no issue. I updated the monitor xml manually to receive and compare the script value as an integer (instead of the default string type that the gui creates).

I wish I knew how to see the results of the SCOM workflow that determines if a health state change is required.

My next steps in the absence of a better action plan, is to reverse the healthy/unhealthy expressions to see what happens or recreate the MP from scratch.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have been banging my head on this one!!

Powershell WriteAction Target=”SC!Microsoft.SystemCenter.ManagementServer Runs on Gatewayserver instead of Management Server

September 17, 2014, 2:09 am

Hi

We are trying to implement a solution wich a server can set itself to maintenance mode and stop maintenance mode as well.
We made some tests with the sample agent maintenance mode mp, and one which is written by ourselves (same result).

http://systemcentertipps.wordpress.com/2012/08/02/sample-agent-maintenance-mode-2012-mp-8/

We use an environment (SCOM 2012 SP1) with multiple domains in one single management group (no trust between the domains), these are connected with gateway servers to our management group.

For balancing the load, some gatewayservers are connected to the RMS Emulator directly, others to normal Management Servers.

It all works fine if the Gatewayserver is directly connected to the RMS Emulator, but if the Gatewayserver is connected to a "normal" Management Server, the Maintenance Mode Powershell Action runs on the Gatewayserver instead of the Management Server.

Background:

The Script which sets the Server in Maintenance Mode runs ia write action which is targeted on the Management Server.

<WriteAction ID=”WA” TypeID=”Sample.Agent.MaintenanceMode.EventlogEntryTriggersMM.WriteAction” Target=”SC!Microsoft.SystemCenter.ManagementServer”>

The Powershell Script writes a logfile, i can see that when the gateway is connected to a normal management server, that the logfile is created on the gatewayserver instead of the management server, means that the script is running on the wrong server. It's clear that the Snapins are not present on the Gatewayserver and the script fails.

Is there a solution for this problem?

Hi,

I'm having this error since i started monitoring network devices. Currently i have 14 Network devices (Cisco Switch). I have the SCOM 2012 R2.


I find that to ports from the same device and the same type, have different MIB monitors (i don't know how to call that, is mark in the picture below).

It's possible to reconfigure, to use the same monitors for the ports?

Thank you,

Web Application Transaction Monitoring - How to edit the script

I have a recorded session that logs into a web service page, pulls up a report and then refreshes the report. The script then checks the text on the page to ensure the report refreshed and the date is correct.

Is there any way to edit the scripting details of the recorded session?  I want to add in code to make sure we are checking for the current date (ie. a variable with the current date to do the content check against).

Basically, I need to know if there is any other way to edit the recording outside of the Web Application Editor dialogue.

How to add multiple T-SQL query's and Powershell scripts monitors to SCOM

Hi

Using Nagios today and creating new monitors is just copy/pasting
I am trying to figure out how to easy add +100 T-SQL query's and Powershell scripts monitors with different parameters to SCOM.

1.
Monitoring with powershell scripts:
Run powershell script as performance monitoring and act on numeric and string data returned.
Simple Nagios example: check_command check_nrpe_powershell!"PS-script"!"servername"!>!100
This runs a powershell script on an nsclient host with 4 arguments. We can then evaluate the returned data.

2.
Monitoring with T-SQL queries:
Executing T-SQL against SQL instances and acting on numeric and string values returned.
Simple Nagios example: check_command check_mssql!T-SQL query!>!30
This runs a stored procedure and checks the value is larger than 30.

Hope someone can halp me out here :-)

Thanks
Rune

Event monitor cannot find PowerShell generated events

September 19, 2014, 8:12 am
$

I have a basic event monitor that only looks for an event ID and source. The event I am monitoring is generated via Powershell from a remote system rather than being locally created. I'm not sure if that matters, but it sure seems like it.

If I change the event expression in the monitor to look for other events it will generate alerts, it just cant see my PS events. I've tried changing the ID number, the source, using different params, etc... I'm convinced that this is due to the event creation process and PS must be creating the event in a different manner than SCOM is looking for. Maybe its a bug where SCOM just ignores events created by proxy.

I found this: http://www.systemcentercentral.com/monitoring-events-written-from-a-remote-server-with-scom/

But that is for Rules. I still tried adding <AllowProxying>false</AllowProxying> to the XML of the MP...SCOM didn't like it.

Has anyone ran into this before?

We are using SCOM 2012R2 fully updated.

Hi Guys

Just wondering what the best way to monitor data in a SQL DB is. I have a numerical value being written to a SQL DB every five minutes, I would like to use SCOM to alert if that value is ever higher than 30,000. is there a template out there, or does anyone know of a two state script that will do this?

thanks!

Web Application Transaction Monitoring - Download time of the document from the SharePoint site

Hi experts,

    I have the following need - we want to be able to monitor the download time of one particular document from the SharePoint servers across the network. I recorded the browsing session where I login to the web page and either open or save the document to the drive. However I noticed, that when I do this step there is no additional entry showing up in the recorder on the left side of IE. Therefore I checked the Total Request Content Size for all the Instances added to the monitor via Performance View (the document was about 4MB in size) and noticed, that the biggest value recorded is about 220KB, meaning, that this action is not measured in any way. Is there any possibility to make it happen? thanks in advance for any thoughts

Hi,

I am trying to

            1. run a vbscript,

            2. which inturn needs to run another vbscript (for this file I need the <Files> tag ),

            3. also it should accept overridable arguments (<Arguments> tag),

            4. and it should return a property bag at the end.

I tried going through commandexecuter modules, but most of them were doing maximum 3 but not all 4. I know there is a solution to this.  But it is not so obvious from my stand now!!

Any suggestion is highly appreciated!.

Hello,

we have Web Application Availability Monitoring defined for several intern applications. The agent which does the monitoring is one of the scom management servers. If I look on the availability report I see that every day 16,6% are grayed out like "monitoring is not available" "monitoring is not active".

What can I check, if there is a problem on monitoring the web applications?

Hi!

I've been asked to monitor a troublesome process which runs with specific parameters. The executable is named sm.exe, and there are about 20 processes from this file. The one I want to monitor runs with these parameters:

sm -httpPort:13102 -httpsPort:13103 -ssl:1 -sslConnector:1 -ssl_reqClientAuth:2 -trustedsignon:1 -threadsperprocess:50 -JVMOption0:-Xms256m -JVMOption1:-Xmx1024m -JVMOption2:-Xrs -jsgctrigger:16777216

How can I accomplish this in SCOM? It's not possible to specify this in Process monitoring under Authoring.
