need help with a problem related to the system center
This problem started after the September database server update. I can't access the system center interface to view reports, see devices, check updates, track device status, etc. When I try to open it, I see the attached image. Has anyone else experienced this problem and resolved it? What is the solution for this issue?
SCOM Linux parameter for Expression/Alert Description
Hi, I would like to know if there is a way to get more information from //*[local-name()="StdOut"] parameter. I know that it can be used in this way in Expression and $Data/Context///*[local-name()="StdOut"]$ in Alert. But I would like to forward little bit more info into Alert and Expression itself. For example got script which returns two values Uptime and LastBoot. And I would like to build the Expression based on Uptime and provide LastBoot into Alert description. I wonder if this is even possible in SCOM. Script itself : #!/bin/bash # Get uptime in seconds uptime_seconds=$(cat /proc/uptime | cut -d'.' -f1) # Get last boot time last_boot=$(who -b | awk '{print $3, $4}') # Output in the required format echo "Uptime : $uptime_seconds" echo "LastBoot : $last_boot" So I tried with //*[local-name()="StdOut"][contains(., "last_boot")]/text() $Data/Context///*[local-name()="StdOut"][contains(., "last_boot")]/text()$ But it doesn't work.SCOM Linux Parameter for Expression/Alert Description

Linux Agent Install Failure - Certificate Issue
I'm attempting to install the Linux agent on a new AlmaLinux 9.5 server. The server replaced a previously monitored RHEL 8.10 server, and the new server has the same IP but a different hostname.

create a SCOM monitor by referring a Rule
Hi, Is there any step by step guidance to create a SCOM Monitor by referring the existing performance collection rule. We have a Performance Collection rule which is collecting the metrics as expected and its used for creating dashboards. But now we have a requirement to create an alerting monitor based on that collected counter metric values from that Rule. I tried everywhere by no tutorials and use full links to refer. Please someone help.Exclude Linux disk from monitoring
Hello, I get this message in SCOM and I want to exclude the disk from monitoring: The disk partitions breaching threshold are: Drive Name - Free space MB / - 7.94MB So, it's root and it is not neccessary to monitor / for a particular server. I have created an override for / but it doesn't work. The override value is only /. On other machines I have this override: /etc/resolv.conf|/boot/* this works. Could somone help to understand, why the override for / doesn't work? Thanks, Arne
SCOM and SQL - Not able to disover
We built a SCOM 2022 environment with no issues in discovery all of our servers. I installed the SQL agnostic Managment Pack, latest version. I decided to leverage Kevin Holman's method of discovery SQL Server, avoiding the run as account. The SQL Seed Class is all Healthy. I checked the Registry to confirm, and all looks good. Next step is for the SQL team to create an account to create a HealthService Login. They did that and when I ran the task Create HealthService Login as Low Priv Task, it was successful. Ran the run-as Demand Database Discovery. Get no error message and but all the servers are showing Not Monitored. I ran it via manual SQL script and looks good, no error, but still I am getting "not monitored". Is there a log file that I can review or a method of seeing what is happening in the environment. I thought it might be network, but not sure. My second guess might be a group policy is preventing maybe a log on as a service, but that isn't the case and I set it up manually to log in as a service. It would be great if there was an error, so hoping that this process is captured in some log. I checked Agent Management logs, and it has no information at all regarding SQL discovery.SCOM - Enable "Database Backup Status" monitor for select databases
Hey there, I've got 8 SQL servers discovered in my environment and I'd like to enable the "Database Backup Status" monitor for all of the databases on 4 of those servers. I want to do this using a dynamic group so that I don't have to constantly manage the list of databases. I've tried several approaches but each of them has fallen short. Any thoughts on how I can approach this? TIA ~dgm~
Powershell script dropped
Hi I'm getting a lot of "powershell script dropped" alerts in SCOM for a few servers. The alert has specific script names that are causing multiple workflows to fail. The description says: The powershell script will be dropped because it has been waiting in the queue for more than 10 minutes. Script name: xxx Workflows affected by this:xxx How do I solve this? Where is this 10 minutes limit coming from? Thank youHow to Choose SCOM License
Hi Team, We are planning to monitor around 50 VMs and 50 Physical servers and all are Windows servers OS. do i need to buy SCOM standard license or data center license ? As far as i read in articles, the servers managed by SCOM should be licensed and we just need to choose between standard or data center. With the total count of my environment, i thought of going with standard but need some advise.
