Hello,

I have several dashboards which have been working for 10-12 months without issues and for the past weeks they are getting an error, the page is displayed properly initially then after few refresh it becomes unavailable:

"The webpage cannot be found"

This error (HTTP 400 Bad Request) means that Internet Explorer was able to connect to the web server, but the webpage could not be found because of a problem with the address.

http://opmgrrms1.ad:51908/default.aspx

I have tried from several workstations, servers...

Any idea?

Thanks,
Dom

Is your console overrun with alerts?

Seems like ours is always full of useless information and warning alerts.  When we reboot a server, even more critical alerts are triggered.  I have a good grip on e-mail notifications only sending out critical alerts we need to know about, but as far as the console, it seems I am always having to go in and close tons of  information and warnings that are days and days old.  Anyone else have this problem?

Monitoring availability of file server files

I'm looking for a way to monitor the availability of files and shares on a file server in a similar way that web page monitors can be created. What I'm thinking of is the ability to have a standard test file on a file share that the monitor tests against monitoring for availability, response time, etc.

Does anyone know of a pack out there that can do this? I do not see anything readily available and my scripting is waaay too rusty to be able to put anything together in a decent amount of time.

Dear SCOM Experts,

I have been creating mpbundle using C# . I was able to add resources to the images. I was able to import the .mpb file. I was able to discover and monitor the components, but I could not see the images for components in diagram view. I have followed the procedure in msdn website 

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg986188.aspx 

EnterpriseManagementGroup mg = new EnterpriseManagementGroup("localhost");
ManagementPack mp = new ManagementPack("Folder\\RePackaging.Library.xml");

System.IO.FileStream fileStream1 = new System.IO.FileStream("Folder\\Resources\\package_16.png", System.IO.FileMode.Open);
System.IO.FileStream fileStream2 = new System.IO.FileStream("Folder\\Resources\\package_32.png", System.IO.FileMode.Open);
System.IO.FileStream fileStream3 = new System.IO.FileStream("Folder\\Resources\\package_64.png", System.IO.FileMode.Open);

ResourceStream resStream1 = new ResourceStream(mg, fileStream1);
ResourceStream resStream2 = new ResourceStream(mg, fileStream2);
ResourceStream resStream3 = new ResourceStream(mg, fileStream3);

ManagementPackBundleWriter bundleWriter = ManagementPackBundleFactory.CreateBundleWriter(".\\");
ManagementPackBundle bundle = ManagementPackBundleFactory.CreateBundle();

bundle.ManagementPacks.Add(mp);

bundle.AddResourceStream(mp, "RePackaging.Library.Resources.Images.Package_16", resStream1, ManagementPackBundleStreamSignature.Empty);
bundle.AddResourceStream(mp, "RePackaging.Library.Resources.Images.Package_32", resStream2, ManagementPackBundleStreamSignature.Empty);
bundle.AddResourceStream(mp, "RePackaging.Library.Resources.Images.Package_64", resStream3, ManagementPackBundleStreamSignature.Empty);

bundleWriter.Write(bundle, "RePackaging.Library");
I had even used MPViewer to check if the images are in .mpb and I could see the images in Resources section
in MPViewer software. I dont understand why i could not see images in diagram view.Please help!!!!!!

Web Application Transaction Monitoring

Hi,

I am working on to create a Web Application Transaction Monitor for one of our customers. The monitor uses the in-built  “Web Recorder Tool”.

I created the monitor with the all the steps but get error code 2147954402 i.e. ERROR_WINHTTP_TIMEOUT in one of the steps. Right now, I am kind of blocked on this error and have no idea on how to correct this.

Can I request you to please have a look at this and help us out.

The steps that I am recording are –

  1. I open a Website.
  2. Click on ‘Log In’.
  3. Give in a custom username and password provided by the customers (it’s an ‘xxxxxx@live.com’ account). The site logs me in.
  4. Click on “Feedback” Tab available on the page after I log in.
  5. The site opens up a page that has several Feedback templates. I select one of them.
  6. On the next page, I enter Feedback Title and then Click Submit.
  7. My Feedback gets saved on the website.
  8. I click on Log out.

I get error code 2147954402 i.e. ERROR_WINHTTP_TIMEOUT at step #3. This is the step where I provide the custom user name and a password.

In order to resolve this I have already tried the below steps but they did not help -  

  1. Adding the proxy server to the LAN settings inside my  Internet Explorer.
  2. Adding the website to “Trusted Sites” inside my Internet Explorer.
  3. Changing the Watcher Node to a CORP domain Gateway Server.

I request you to please share your ideas/comments on how to resolve this. Any help from you will be really much appreciated.

I am installing the system center operation manager from the system center 2012 sp1.

The prerequisite check passed. But on the Installation progress screen the Initial configuration gets installed and then the installation stuck at operational database confiuration for long time. The progress bar shows status "Importing system library management pack". 

I kept it running for long time and next day found the failure report saying "Operational database failed to install". I read the logs but could not figure out the issue.

Command notification channel not working in SCOM 2012 R2 - not sure why??

Hi,

I'm trying to recreate a command notification channel (powershell) which runs fine in my old SCOM 2007 mgmt group but I cannot get to run at all in my new 2012 R2 mgmt group.

I have read some posts Re checking the characters like quotes etc are copied across ok in the configuration of command line etc and I have also updated to old powershell to use the new SCOm 2012 commandlets.

The powershell script and command channel is to be used to update alert custom fields.  I can successfully run the script direct from powershell to update the alert custom fields as a test but when I test it from the channel/subscriber/subscription configuration nothing happens.  I cannot see any errors in the Mgmt server event logs.

Has anyone any ideas of where I can look to try and trobleshoot the issue - the fact that the powershell works when I run direct I am assuming theres nothing worng with the script or permissions to run (although I tried setting execution mode to unrestircted bu tdidnt make any difference.  So I'm thinking its how I've configured the Command channel/subscriber/subscription but I've triple checked everything for typo's etc and cant find any issue.  So just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for troubleshooting - log files etc as nothing in eventlogs.

Any help much appreciated...

Does the SCOM 2012 agent "look back" in the logs before the service was started?

Does the SCOM 2012 agent "look back" in the logs before the service was started?<o:p></o:p>

We raised this question to our Microsoft rep back when we migrated to SCOM 2007. We wanted to know if SCOM would alert on errors generated before the Heath Service started. For example, errors logged before the service is started on reboot (which is when some critical errors are logged). We also wondered what happens when the service is restarted...would errors during the same window be missed?

If I remember correctly the MS response was that the agent looks back on startup/restart based on a timestamp of some kind. We did some testing that seemed to confirm this information. I've recently encountered several instances of errors generated while the service was stopped (primarily during boot up) where SCOM failed to alert on the error.

Can anyone confirm how the SCOM 2012 agent deals with errors generated before the service starts on boot and during service restarts?

Can a common application monitoring platform be made so that several distributed applications be grouped in a single window?

As an example, suppose there are two applications for which two different distributed application monitoring window has been configured, now if we want both of these distributed applications to be monitored in a single distributed platform?

 

Whether application monitoring for various applications can be done from single application monitoring framework from where several application related alerts could appear.

A question about Notification Subscriptions and Targeting

February 17, 2014, 11:57 pm

Hello

Can someone help me with the following question please.

This is a two part question

1: We have an SQL DBA team who want to received alerts (via notification) for SQL related issues and Not Windows Operating System Related issues.

So this one is reasonable straight forward, as I set up a notification subscription and under the criteria I select ‘Created by Specific Rule of Monitors (e.g. Sources)’ when the next box appears I select each of the SQL MPs and select All the object therein which adds a whole lot of SQL related rules and monitors etc. to the list for example ‘The service cannot be started” rule. I then fill in the other criteria I am interested in for this notification e.g. choosing the SQL DBA team as recipients etc. I do note however if I ever go back to look at or edit this notification subscript it is slow to load up in the console (SCOM 2007 R2 CU6) probably due to the number of rules and monitors etc. listed.

OK so the above works.

Now the SQL guys say well, that’s OK, but will do not want alerts from our DEV SQL Servers and all out DEV Servers (he computer name) starts like this DEV

So now I have a choice (and here is where I need some guidance please) I could either

A:  Create a dynamic group whose members are Windows Computer NetBIOS Name, does not match wildcard DEV* for example (had mixed results using RegEx as a filter). The add this to the criteria

Or

B:  Create a dynamic groups whose members are both “SQL Database Engine” and SQL Database” Class (so I end up with a group full of SQL Database Engine and SQL Database instances. I then further refine both of these adding an ‘expression’ to say where ‘parent class’ ‘Windows.Computer.NetBIOS Computer Name’ does not match wild card DEV*

Now I choose B: above (and the group is populated as I would expect), the reason I chose B ( and again this is where I need some guidance please) is I am thinking the monitors targeted at SQL related instances e.g. the monitors which would select via ‘Created by Specific Rule of Monitors (e.g. Sources)’ may Not ‘rollup their health state’ to Windows Computer but stop at SQL Database or SQL Database Engine. Not sure making an assumption here. Therefore my logic is if I chose option A above the notification may not work as the health start rollup my effect the outcome.

Therefore do you think option B above is the correct choice? And if not why not? Or would it make no difference in this case e.g. same result from both?

Thank you all

Data Acess Timeout period for SCOM and Connection to DB

Hi,

When we do patching of our SCOM SQL servers, we have the data access service throwing errors.  If its a short db disconnect, the data access services comes back working with no problem.

For a longer disconnect like what might happen during server patching, the data access service does not reconnect.

Does anybody know what this period of time is where the data access service will stop trying to reconnect?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Lance

System Center Management Service hangs.

February 18, 2014, 9:18 am

We have upgraded from SCOM 2007 to SCOM 2012. We have about 150 servers. We have about 18 of these that repeatedly coming up with a Health Service Heartbeat failure but not the Failed to Connect to Computer. I have researched and found that the System Center Management Service is hung and I need to stop (takes a while to stop) then I restart it and the alert in SCOM clears. This worked fine at first but it is now becoming a daily chore for a few of the machines.

I have tried renaming C:\Program Files\System Center Operations Manager\Agent\Health Service State while the service is stopped and then restart the service and it creates a new folder.

I have even removed and manually installed the agent but this had no effect on the problem machines.

 

The servers are rebooted nightly. They are Windows Server 2008 Version 6 (not R2), 32 bit, with SP2. Does anyone have any insight as to what might cause the service to hang?

Hi,

I have had subscriptions stop in the middle of the day for no apparent reason.

Rebooting the SCOM boxes fixes it (not good I know).

Is there a way for SCOM to alert if subscriptions (emails) are not working, even though alerts are being generated?

Thx,

Conditional Alerting For Servers and Network Device

We have a management server here in the states with sites across the pond with servers there as well. All servers point back to the sole management server.

I have setup a subscription on Failed to Connect to Computer with a 90 second threshold. The problem is if the VPN between sites goes down we get alerts on all the servers being down.

Is it possible to setup a condition that if the VPN does go down, do not generate "Failed to Connect to Computer" alerts on those servers?

Environment is SCOM 2012 R2
