    I am getting event ID 6024 (LaunchRestartHealthService.js : Launching Restart Health Service. Health Service exceeded Process\Handle Count or Private Bytes threshhold.) within an interval ranging from 12-17 minutes.

    I am using SCOM (2012 SP1 and 2012 R2) on Windows Server (2008 R2 / 2012 / 2012 R2).

    This issue is occurring only on agent managed computer (acting as proxy and discover managed objects on other computers setting is enabled) which i am using for monitoring my device. All discovery scripts (powershell) and monitors are targeted on this agent managed computer.

    There are total 80 discoveries and 900 monitors. 55 discoveries and 550 monitors are enabled by default and rest all are disabled.

    I am seeing event id 6024 frequently only on agent managed computer. Can anyone help me to resolve this issue.

    Thanks,

    Mukul

    To fix issue 6024, you can follow below steps:

    1. Open SCOM console. Go to Monitors -> Agent -> Entity Health -> Performance -> Health Service Performance -> Health Service State.

    2. Double click Health Service Handle Count Threshold monitor and go to Overrides page.

    3. Click Override -> For a specific object of Class: Agent. Select the affected SCOM agent QMXServer.

    4. Check on the parameter Agent Performance Monitor Type - Threshold. Change the default value 2000 to an appropriate value, like 4000. You can check the Health service handle count alert in SCOM console to get the value when the alert is generated. You can also launch the health explorer against QMXServer to check the value when the monitor state is changed from healthy to critical.

    Hi,

    I would like to suggest you to identify why this agent's health service handle count is exceeding the threshold before you increase the threshold for this particular system. You may download the handles.exe tool from SysInternals to evaluate what is occuring with the HealthService and review the Health Service Handle Count threshold using PerfMon.

    Here is a blog that could be helpful, please go through it:
