Hi there!
I am very new to System Manager 2012, so I am seeking advice on how to best start my project. I am reading the initial part of the Getting Started - Operation Manager ( http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh509025.aspx ), and I am wondering if this is the right component, based on my design requirements.
So here is what I am trying to achieve in two bullet points:
- I got my own monitoring system application that I can query via an API. The API is REST based (i.e. HTTP GET/POST operations) and I already wrote a Python script to query my API so I can export data and alerts from it.
- I'd like to integrate the data/alerts coming from my own monitoring application into the Microsoft System center.
Questions:
1) is Operation Manager the right component to fulfil my design needs?
2) what's the best documentation link to start studying how to integrate the data coming from my own monitoring system API?
3) is my Python script fine to run on the Microsoft Virtual Machine, in order to query my API and pass the data to the System Manager 2012?
Thanks in advance for your help, and looking forward to actively join your community!
