Hi Stefan,
searching for a solution to get SNMP Traps at SCOM 2012. I see the trap at wireshark but the rule or monitor configuration does not work to show me an alert about the trap. Do you have a working configuration?
Hope to hear from you.
Hi Doreen
Did you search the TechNet forum there are few posts about SNMP traps and possible problems e.g. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-CA/operationsmanagergeneral/thread/41f5b6ef-c8b9-461d-bdcb-81fde5a89f50
Cheers,

Hi Stefan,
Your blogs are really good and informative.
I have been having probe;ms with SNMP trap based monitors and have gone through almost all the blogs on technet. I receive the traps on to scom server but my scom application isnt receiving the same.
Could you please share some details on this ?

Hi

Hi Stefan, I had a question. Is there anyway to get the SeverityID to state the text (Information, Warning or Critical) rather than the integer (0,1,2) in our email notifications? I have seen posts about adding separate channels but that would be really cumbersome for my large environment. Have any ideas?
Hello Stefan,
I appreciate if you publish the file related to SCOM case study with me, we have servers in more than 30 different countries, we already have the SCCM installed in a global mode and currently we started on brazil a pilot test with SCOM 2012 SP1. I’m looking for reference from another companies related to experience on distributed SCOM environment, the big boss wants to have only one Management Group to manage more than 500 servers, 550 network devices, 50 ACS forwarders, I don’t know if it is a good idea than create 4 or 5 different MG, but he is worring with a central dashboard.
can you please tell me, what normally strategy the companies are using to implement SCOM 2012? when possible, using only one MG is the best option?
Hi Adriano
Well, I think it is not a good place to start designing your SCOM environment using my “About” section :). I send you a mail 🙂

Stefan

Hi Stefan,
I am very new to SCOM and currently struggling with APM piece of SCOM. We have linux based java applications running on weblogic servers :
1) Which APM Management Pack we can use to monitor linux based Java Applications ? The one that is available on Microsoft site seems sepcific for Tomcat. Any other free MP that you can reocmmend ?
2) Does JEE Management Pack need to have SCOM agent installed on target (that will be monitored) ? We prefer not to install linux SCOM agent since we are not interested in monitoring OS specific metrics, but only interested in application specific metrics.
3) We need the capability to get the metrics around application specific response time, throughput, load, number of calls to 3rd party and metrics thereon like response time, number of calls made to 3rd party service, exception/error rate, etc. How can we get these metrics ? I assume, this may be related to 1 above, but need your thoughts.
Appreciate if you can get some insight on these questions.
Thanks.
SG
Hi Stefan,

Hi Stefan –

Hi Stefan,
We spoke last year on SCOM dashboards. I was wondering if I could get your contact information again so that I could send you an email to discuss Microsoft’s private cloud solutions.
Thanks,

I understand how to get SNMP communicating to scom.
How can it actually report the disk space left on a *NIX disk?
When I say it I mean SCOM.How can scom alert that a disk has breached it’s threshold? Agents are not allowed on any of our *NIX servers so I have to rely on SNMP only.
Stefan – may I have your contact information? I was hoping you could give me the source to your Maintenance Mode tool. I’m working on developing my C# and was hoping I could see how you tied into SCOM.

Hi Stefan,
Great blog, very helpful, thank you.
I have event id 10000 warnings on several win2012r2 servers but not all of them in my SCOM 2016 environment (win2012R2 server).
I wonder if you can help me to solve the problem.
MP : Microsoft.Windows.Server.DNS Version 10.0.6.4

Strett

A scheduled discovery task was not started because the previous task for that discovery was still executing.

Hi
I think this was fixed in 10.0.6.0 MP https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/allthat/2016/12/22/microsoft-system-center-management-pack-for-dns-2016/ . You might want to try the 10.0.6.0 version…

Hi Stefan,
kannst du mir deine E-Mail-Adresse schicken?
Ich habe eine Frage zu ALA.
Dein Vortrag am Azure Saturday hat mich darauf gebracht, dass du mir bei einem kleinen Problem mit einer Search-Query helfen könntest.
Vielleicht ist es auch nur ein Verständnisproblem.
Viele GrĂĽĂźe

Hello, Stefan,
We (Azure Monitor) recently added support for ARG queries to the Azure Monitor plugin in Grafana 8.0. Please try it out and let us know how this works out for you.
Ciao Stefan
