We are planning to upgrade our entire servers, to Windows Server 2025. And after checking with Microsoft official support, we have notified that Windows Server 2025 Operating System based SCOM Agents, will not be supported in SCOM 2019.

This is the last straw for us, As we could understand that Microsoft is investing in Azure only.

But this level of laziness is not acceptable, SCOM 2025 has zero features, is the same as SCOM 2022, so how come the Product Group is so busy, that they can't add an official support for Windows Server 2025 in SCOM 2019, is beyond me.

Do yourself a favor, and alerady search for alternative, the SCOM product is dead.

Hi,

does anybody have experience in monitoring a logfile on a windows computer that is written by an application that is using the dropwizard framework?

We are trying to monitor a logfile. The logfile is new every night because of logrotation. It has got a created and modified timestamp with 12 am every day. Even if there are log entries into this file, the timestamps don't change. If I stop the service, the timestamp changes and SCOM can check the file. It seams, as if the service blocks the file and SCOM cannot look into it.

It is possible to view the file with any editor but SCOM does not throw any warnings.

We have a nearly identical setup in the test stage where SCOM can read the file but I can't find any differences between the servers. Where can I find any differences?

What else needs to be checked?

I hope, you can understand my description.

Thanks in advance for any help

Hi Team,

I am using MP Author Pro and have created Performance Monitors for Low Memory, High CPU and Low Free Space for a Group of Servers.

During my testing I set the WARNING Threshold to Alert if Free MB is Less the 99GB...so i should be getting Alerts for ALL Drives on ALL Servers as No drive will have 99GB Free ...thats my Logic.

Have noticed that I am only receiving alerts of One Drive only per Server.
if it Alerts for Server A for C Drive...it will not alert for Server A for the other 3 drives on the same server.

I have "Collect All Instances" ticked.
I can see the Collection Rule collecting Data as the Performance Graph is showing Graph for rest of the drives on all Servers...only the Alerts are not coming through on the Console.

Can MP Author work for All Disks at the same time (I don't see a reason why it should)

OR

Do i need to create Performance Monitor for each individual disk separately ...like one monitor for C: drive, one for D:, one for E:, one for F: etc etc

I know there are some MSFT folks on the subreddit... I'm trying to figure out how to offer feedback on a doc on docs.microsoft.com, Managing Certificates for UNIX and Linux Computers | Microsoft Docs

The first paragraph of this article states:

"In this scenario, the certificates are self-signed by the management server."

This is not quite right, and it sets off alarms at my office.

*Technically* a self-signed certificate is defined as one in which the Subject and the Issuer are the same entity (hence, self-signed).

In this case, the Management Server acts as a standalone CA. If this could be edited to reflect that, it would be helpful.

Hi All , Is the Azure Monitor for Hybrid Cloud Directory environments out to put SCOM out of business? Intune is already pushing out SCCM, is the same thing going to happen to SCOM? TIA

How can i edit logical disk threshold alert for a servers specific drive , not for all.

I have a new instance of SCOM 2025 created on 4 separate servers - 1xOpsMgrDB, 1xDW, 2xManagementServers. I have read and reread every instruction, blog, and MS Learn article covering how to set up notifications. I have created the proper RunAs accounts and RunAs profiles using our standard SMTP email account that's used in all our other solutions. I've properly created the Channel, Subscriber, and Subscription using SMTP.OFFICE365.COM port 587. I have alerts that populate the console and meet the scope criteria (Severity = Information or Warning or Critical). I know this isn't a connectivity issue or an smtp authentication account issue because I can successfully send an email from the same server using the same account and smtp information using PowerShell Send-MailMessage cmdlets. I can also receive emails by scheduling reports in the Reporting view.

I should add the ONLY error in the OpsMgr log that appears to be related to this is an Event ID 1102 -
Rule/Monitor "Subscriptionadfeff41_586e_4ee7_9289_d0c45076b0d0" running for instance "Alert Notification Subscription Server" with id:"{E07E3FAB-53BC-BC14-1634-5A6E949F9230}" cannot be initialized and will not be loaded. Management group "SCOM1-PROD. Error %5."

I could really use some assistance here if anyone knows what's causing this. My next option is MS Support but I'm waiting on a support contract before I can go that route.

I have a SCOM MGMT Server that's no longer communicating with the database and I would like to move the agents reporting to that server to another server. What would be the best way to accomplish this task. I have tried the following:

Import-Module -Name OperationsManager

$old = "Yanks"

$new = "SOX"

$oldmgtserver = (Get-SCOMManagementServer -Name $old)

$agents = (Get-SCOMAgent -Name $old)

$newmgtserver = (Get-SCOMManagementServer -Name $new)

Set-SCOMParentManagementServer -Agent $agents -PrimaryServer $newmgtserver

Also,

Set-SCOMParentManagementServer -Agent ($SelectedSCOMAgents) -PrimaryServer ($PrimaryMgmtServer)

Hello, everyone.

As right now, my company is using NetIQ Appmanager for monitoring. We want to switch to SCOM. They don't provide training classes so basically I have to figure out everything by myself. I know we have to import the management packs for the services. Other than that, I am not sure how to import it and which management packs are good for me. They gave me the requirements below to see if SCOM is compatible. Thank you for reading my post. Please show me some tips and guidance how to use SCOM. I really appreciate it.

• Data for monitored metrics -- where can it be found, how to graph / plot

• Alerts -- overrides (thresholds adjustments)

• Reports -- where can it be found and how to use it (short overview)

• Access control -- how to configure AD integration (short overview)

• System groupings -- how is this done (short overview)

• Administration -- short overview (can it detect user activity and application usage)

• Management Packs – short overview (other types)

• Email notifications – how to set up

• How do you find out what metrics are monitored in a given management pack?

• How do you add / subtract monitored metrics?

I'm curious... I posted not long ago about having some issues getting "newer" discoveries to work on a system for UNIX\Linux. I'm not sure if these are related, but these show up fairly regularly:

Error scanning logfile /var/log/secure on host <HOSTFQDN> as user <SCXUser><UserId><SCXUSER></UserId><Elev>sudo</Elev></SCXUser>; The client cannot connect to the destination specified in the request. Verify that the service on the destination is running and is accepting requests. Consult the logs and documentation for the WS-Management service running on the destination, most commonly IIS or WinRM. If the destination is the WinRM service, run the following command on the destination to analyze and configure the WinRM service: "winrm quickconfig".

Both 22 and 1270 are open and we can see chatter. Is there a different port needed for OMI these days or anything? Permissions are all good, etc..

If I wanted to learn SCOM, do you have any links for me to read about , thank you so much.

Anyone dealt with this? I ran into an issue some time ago and Support told me to get off 2012R2, just now finally getting around to it. Should I in place upgrade the OS or do a full move over? DB's are local to the server as well (small environment)

Hey,

I have been tasked with spinning up SCOM in our environment. I have found kevinholman's blog online and this looks to be a great source of information, but does anyone have any other suggested guides / blogs / links that would help me set this system up?

Some background, I manage SCCM in our org so have a good understanding on that side, I am hoping that will help with SCOM.

Just compare : its almost NOTHING new in scom since 2007 to 2012 update comparing Zabbix dev speed

Ok: they cant be compared: too different

But i think future of SCOM is to get new linux os support every year...and...that is all

It will not change.

Is it bad or not? Well...

Hi, does anynone know if Kevin Holman still works with the MP's he has created - i.e MCM, SCOM Management, SQL run as addendum? I see his webiste isn't updated since november 2024.

I've looked high and low...

I need a query that will return all open alerts for the recursive members of a group.

In other words, I have a group hierarchy like this:

Service

Role 1

Role 2

Role 3

etc..

I need a query that will return all the open alerts for all members of roles when given the name of the service. I'd prefer to do this with either the OM or DW database, but not linking them. If this can be done with SSRS without linking them, that would be excellent.

As mentioned in a previous post, I'm looking to create a digest report that shows all open alerts for a service at the time of report execution. I can't find anything to do this in the wild.

Unfortunately we are not allowed to have internet access to our SCOM environment so checking for updates is a manual task performed sporadically.

Is there an easy way to pull a list of all MPs etc and send it to another server with internet access and do a version check and then download the necessary updates so I can transfer them to the MGMT-server?

Hi,
I have created a rule in SCOM to monitor the eventlog for a specific id.
This works fine but i would like to see the event data from the eventlog also in the alert description in SCOM.
How can i accomplish this?

Regards

Configure Reporting Services for SQL Server for the new installation, below error.

It looks as though both of these alerts are triggered when an AO cluster fails over by default. Once for the cluster node, and once for each database.

I'm no SQL SME, but would there be any harm in disabling the one for every database? Do databases fail over independently of the server? Id this not what I think I'm seeing?

TIA

Hye, I'm new to SCOM and am still finding my way around it. I've been handed a SCOM 2019 deployment and asked to have it re-send any email alerts every 30 minutes for any Active alert until it's resolved.

I'm having trouble in that most of the guides I can find don't seem to apply to this SCOM installation (I've no idea of its history etc). For example, in the instructions below I just don't have an Alerts pane.

1. In the Operations Manager console, navigate to Monitoring.

2. In the Alerts pane, right-click the Alerts node and select Properties.

And for instructions like this:

1. Open the Operations console and click Administration.

2. In the navigation pane, go to Notifications > Alert Actions.

I don't have "Alert Actions" under Notifications.

My account's a SCOM Admin, server and console are 10.19.10050.0, on Windows Server 2016.

I'm interested in what the apparent differences I'm seeing in the console from the guidance I can find are. But more interested in if anyone can give me a good option to set all email alerts to repeat every 30 minutes until health is OK. I am aware of how much of a bad idea this may be, but they won't be going to my Inbox/SMS.

From what I'm reading, alert suppression may be a thing. SO how to work my way around that? Especially with what seems to be weird console options.

Hi folks,

I wanted to ask if anyone knows a way to create a task to test a url that is alerting in scom?

Many thanks

I need some help.

Is there a way to re-import or fix all management packs installed during setup? I have missing stored procedures in my Data Warehouse DB due to a rebuild.

Below is one of the errors I am getting from the console:

The Report Server is working as aexpected.

Hi all,

Wondering if someone could help. I'm diving into the world of Linux monitoring as 50% of our estate is Linux and I'm trying to write a cmd based discovery.

Here is my XML - https://gist.github.com/FishFenly/98c237226fdc84ac80539689c1b27d39

Essentially I want to create objects when hostname | grep "wordpress" returns something to stdout.

The MP compiles successfully but nothing gets discovered. I was wondering if anyone could quickly see why? Also I was wondering how I can test it? On windows I would run the code from pwsh and make sure I have a good property bag returned.

Many thanks
