Availability reports not working in SCOM 2012

$
0
0

Hi,

All of a sudden the availability in our SCOM 2012 is not working. I mean it just shows the plain white bar indicating UP(unmonitored) instead of the Green (available) or Red bar.

I tried to check the MS logs but could not find anything related to this issue. Please note that other performance reports are working fine. It's just the availability reports that's playing with me.

Any suggestions please?

Thanks

SCOM 2007 R2 upgrade to SCOM 2012 R2 - prefered upgrade path

$
0

Hi all,

I need to upgrade one of my SCOM 2007 R2 (CU4) servers to SCOM 2012 R2. It has a local SQL 2008 instance and 300 odd agents connected. I also have a hoard of custom monitors that are created a in custom management pack. There are no gateways used.

What is the recommended upgrade path in this instance in terms of in place upgrade vs deploying a new server and migrating the data, custom management packs and agents across? The important thing here is that I really don't want to reinstall any agents, loose any history or have too much downtime on the SCOM server. I don't know exactly what needs to be done to migrate to a new server so any advice here would be appreciated. I am a fan of starting fresh but if the risk is too high I'd rather just stick to an in place upgrade. From what I understand, the in place upgrade would require a SQL SP upgrade, a few cycles of regular Windows updates and the actual SCOM upgrade would require 3 different SCOM updates excluding the agent updates. 

Your advice would be much appreciated!

We always facing issue on one of the gateway which are to communicate with SCOM master server. In the event log, we only found the event 21023 and error 2000 as below. Everytime this issue occur, we have to restart the SCOM serivces on the SCOM master server which causing the monitoring outage. Anyway to fix it permanently without have to restart the SCOM serivces on the SCOM master server?

Issue with Visual Studio Authoring Extension

Hi All,

I had VSAE on my system and due to certain issue I had to uninstall it. I did so from the "add and remove programs". Even after successful uninstallation, It was still showing up in "add and remove programs".

so I deleted the uninstall registry for VSAE from HKLM\Software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\uninstall. After this, VSAE was not showing up in "add and remove programs (appwiz.cpl).

I rebooted my machine and again ran the VSAE.msi to install it. But now it shows me only one option of "Remove".

I don't know what went wrong and why I am unable to install VSAE.

Was there any other registry that I should have delete? could this uninstallation be corrupted?

Can anyone please help me out.  Do I need to uninstall Visual Studio 2013 also first and then try installation?

Thanks in advance.


Thanks, S K Agrawal

hi

I have set up a logical disk space monitor for windows 2012 servers on my Operations manager 2012. The threshold value is 500MB. However, No alert is generated even when my disk has exceeded 500MB. It works when i set the threshold below 100 MB. Can you please help out on this?  Is it because of the wrong instance ?

The object has been specified as "Logical Disk"

Counter is %free space and the instance is the C:\ drive.

SCOM 2012 / Discovery Issues

$
0
0

Greetings,

I am running SCOM 2012 on Windows Server 2012 R2 with a local SSRS install.  Both SCOM and SSRS are pointing to a different SQL server, which is SQL 2012 also running on Server 2012 R2.  There were no signs of errors or issues during the install of SCOM, and it all appears to work fine as the operations manager console comes up without an issue.

The issue first shows it's ugly head when you attempt to discover computers.  If I attempt to discover a Windows system, after providing credentials, I receive the following error message.

** The pool managing the instance is not available or the location monitoring the object cannot be found.

If I try and discover a Unix/Linux system, I get the following error.

** Unable to enumerate Installable agent types.  The associated resource pool may still be initializing.  If you had selected a newly created resources pool, please wait a few minutes before using it.

For the sake of clarity I have been fighting this a couple days, so the few minutes are up.

Add to this I have two Operations Manager errors showing in the event logs that may be of assistance.

** OpsMgr Management Configuration Service failed to execute bootstrap work item 'ConfigurationDataProviderInitializeWorkItem' due to the following exception

** An exception was thrown while processing LaunchDiscovery for session ID uuid:b31b5351-390a-4b7c-b639-1ca02b22ad46;id=2.
 Exception message: The creator of this fault did not specify a Reason.
 Full Exception: System.ServiceModel.FaultException`1[Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Common.LocationObjectNotFoundException]: The creator of this fault did not specify a Reason. (Fault Detail is equal to Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Common.LocationObjectNotFoundException: The pool managing the instance is not available or the location monitoring object cannot be found.).

Before I ever setup this server, I had initially setup a test server where SCOM and SQL were on the same server and it did not have any issues.  I am guessing this is somehow related to the separation of SCOM and SQL and possibly SSRS.  That being said I can see all the databases that were created on the SQL server which includes the reporting server's database.

Any thoughts, advice, or perhaps a sign point to the clue train would be greatly appreciated.

Monitoring Host high CPU usage on SBS 2011 Standard with SCOM 2012 R2 agent

$

Hi,

We are currently experiencing constant high CPU usage from MonitoringHost.exe on one of our servers.

The monitoringhost.exe is constantly using 50% of CPU resources, the server is a dual core so it's pretty much hogging one CPU the whole time.

Server

OS: SBS 2011 Std

CPU: Intel CPU dual core @2GHz

RAM: 10GB

The server has got SCOM 2012 R2 gateway/agent installed on it.

I've seen articles where the same issue affecting server 2008 and predecessors and is fixed by updating to msxml 6 however it's not the case.

I've tried to clear health state cache, reinstalled gateway, reboot server, install all available updates in Windows Updates but problem is still there.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Kind Regards,

John

Related to the error I also see warning related to "Local Dirty Notification State" and "Delta Synchronization State"

Understanding a service monitor “Service Details”?

$
0
0

I am just trying to understand an alert coming from the ConfigMgr/SCCM 2012 management pack but I guess my question is a bit broader than that in that it will help me understand over service alerts

For most service monitoring I just look at the basic service monitor itself and the “service details”. For instance the monitoring the WMI service just shows as “WinMgmt” as I would expect.

However I have an alert for a “ConfigMgr Site Role Issue”. When I use health explorer this then shows as “Site SQL Backup Service Monitor”. When I look at the “service details” for this it shows as –

$Target/Property[Type="SCCM!Microsoft.SystemCenter2012.ConfigurationManager.SqlServer"]/BackupServiceName$

I just wonder if someone can explain this line and what its actually looking at? Is there somewhere I can view this better as to what it is monitoring?

Externally Triggering / Disabling Down a Monitor

$
0
0

We are using SCOM 2012 R2, and we would like to be able to trigger a "web application monitor" at 8:00 AM in the morning, and shut it down after polling the application.   Would this be possible to implement ?

Our business criteria is that,

1.  We cannot have this polling to occur before 8:00 AM as the data is not guaranteed to have been populated prior to 8:00 AM, so the polling result will be "negative - throwing false alarm".  Since the SLA requires all the data to be populated by 8:00 AM, and we know the polling result is correct after 8:00 AM.

2.  We have not yet figured out how to schedule the polling to occur once a day at 8:00 AM, therefore, we cannot poll it using SCOM...

We were wondering if we can trigger the polling via the task scheduler, and disable it after the initial result is obtained.  Is  external invocation of the polling possible ?

Any assistance is appreciated.
