    Hi Experts,

                    We have one client requirement for Monitoring Fenestrae Software using SCOM 2007 R2. So please someone guide me with the feasibility of Management Pack and supporting documents.

    Regards,
    Sundar

    Hi Sundar

    To do a professional management pack would require knowledge of SCOM authoring to create appropriate classes, discoveries and rules \ monitors. So to some extent it depends what your client exactly needs.

    A simpler workaround can be done via creating groups and targetting classes like windows computer with the rule \ monitor disabled and then just override, enable for the group. This isn't best practice though.

    Whichever route you choose, consider:

    - what windows services are there to monitor? You can use the authoring console or rely on the authoring template

    - what event Ids does it drop in the windows event logs? We can create rules for these.

    - what performance counters does it expose?

    - Are there log files that we can monitor?

    Cheers

    Graham

    Hello Sundar, 

    If you need to monitor the availability of the application, then you can perhaps create a distributed application by monitoring critical services, Databases, processes, ports, websites and so on.

    However, if you need to monitor custom features, then you need to create a Management Pack as Graham Suggested.

    Thanks for your reply Graham & Abdul. I thought some dedicated MP's will be there for FCS monitoring. So let me check with client on there specific requirement and get back to you.

    There is nothing that I know of. You might want to contact the software vendor directly and see what their plans are.
