Hello everybody. Sorry for maybe common question, i'm absolutely newbie in SCOM. I'm standing at task of monitoring basic servers counters - Memory utilization, disk free space & CPU utilization. After reading some articles about SCOM architecture I get a little frustrated - cannot get full understanding about monitoring mechanisms. What I want from my monitors:
- Monitor 2,3...N groups of servers with _different_ disk free space thresholds and sending alerts (email) to specific people.
I've already have imported management pack for Windows OS, configure channels & subscribers.
I get a lot of question trying to configure such monitoring, maybe you can help me (or send me to manuals)
1. I can use monitor's for specific OS (i.e. logical disk free space), then I need to override it(why? I can't use it?) and select servers.
2. How can I map a group of servers to monitor?
3. Do I need rules?
4. New monitor sets in installed agents automatically?
Cannot understand steps, in which I should resolve my task..
