  Hi

  As I understand you would like to create alerts from certain Events e.g. Windows Events. You either can create a rule or a Monitor http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh457603.aspx . You can create alerts from different sources like here http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh457593.aspx . As I mentioned, if you would like to create an alert from a Windows Event you could try to create an Event Monitor http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh457559.aspx like a Manual reset http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh457598.aspx .

  If you would like to create a rule I suggest starting here http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc180957.aspx .

  If you Need to Monitor a log file from an application I suggest use the NiCE Log File Library http://stefanroth.net/2014/02/24/scom-2012-nice-log-file-library-mp-monitoring-robocopy-log-file/

  In all cases the server needs to be monitored (have SCOM agent installed).

  Cheers,

  Stefan

  Thanks Stefan.

  These events/exceptions are being logged to SQL database. Can we monitor the log database ? Any pointers ?

  Thank you

  As I understand, one way to write the Events to Event log and then subscribe to these events from SCOM ? Since I do not have option to write these events to event log, what other options do I have ? Can I monitor these events from SQL Database.

  Hi,

  Based on my unserstanding, if we could not get those event directly from event logs, then we could not create Windows Event type monitor to monitor it. And as we know, we can create monitors and rules to generate alerts, for your requirement, I think we need to create Scripting type monitor, and we should get out event information from SQL database with the script.

  For the SQL scripting issue, please also contact Windows SQL forum and the official scripting guys forum.

  You can write tsql queries and create a SCOM custom monitor The below may help http://matthewlong.wordpress.com/2012/06/23/query-a-database-without-scripting-as-part-of-scom-monitoring-the-system-oledbprobe-module/ http://rockyprogress.wordpress.com/2011/09/26/scom-monitoring-using-a-database-query/

  Hi

  Ok, you have all your logs written in a SQL DB and you would like to check basically the DB. I suggest to write a script monitor like in this example here...

  http://contoso.se/blog/?p=1346

  Of course you need to adjust the SQL query...

  Cheers,

  Stefan
