If you could share an example, I would sincerely appreciate it. I’m in the US, so we have Thanksgiving holiday tomorrow, but I will take a look when I’m back in the office on Friday.

Thank you.

Ok, Then I will advice you to create a discovery that discovers an instance of a class which has the service name/display name as a property.

I can post an example you can use as a template. But it will be tomorrow (I'm on GMT+1)

Henrik,

Thank you for the information. Excuse me if I’m not grasping the last sentence. When I create the monitor, it is for different services. So for this example it was ‘Spooler’, but each service name is different. I was hoping I could achieve the same functionality with the service name as I do with the hostname—I don’t have to define the hostname in the Alert Description, the Parameter will replace it with the appropriate value. I’m trying to cut down on the hard-coding within the MPs because it requires more modifications when changes are made, and is not as efficient.

I was hoping I could do something like:

Service ‘<Insert Paramter>’ is not running on $Target/Host/Property[Type="Windows!Microsoft.Windows.Computer"]/NetworkName$.This would allow me to copy monitors in Visual Studio and not have to go into each description and update it with the hard-coded service name. Is that possible with the way I’m authoring these monitors?

Thanks,

Geoff

Yes, it can be challengingJ But if you use $Target/Property[Type="Microsoft.SystemCenter.NTService"]/DisplayName$ it has to be a property of the target(class) that you target.

In your case, you’ve written ‘spooler’ as a parameter for the monitor. You could do the easy thing: Write ‘spooler’(or anything else) as alert parameter.

No, it is not derived from there, it is hosted by the Microsoft computer role. I still lack a lot of the in-depth relational knowledge within SCOM.

I am using TypeID="Windows!Microsoft.Windows.CheckNTServiceStateMonitorType" to target the service like this:

<ComputerName>$Target/Host/Property[Type="Windows!Microsoft.Windows.Computer"]/NetworkName$</ComputerName>

<ServiceName>Spooler</ServiceName>

</Configuration>

I’m not sure where to begin on the Alert Parameter. How could I fill in the <AlertParameter> for the service name? I know see the error of trying to use Microsoft.SystemCenter.NTService, but I’m not sure how to go about targeting the Alert Parameter at the service name. Any relevant links or examples? I have tried looking online, but there isn’t a lot of resources on the MP Authoring side of SCOM.

Thanks,

Geoff

Hi!,

You are targeting Acme.Application.AppServerRole How are that class defined? Is it derived from Microsoft.SystemCenter.NTService?

If not, the statement $Target/Property[Type="Microsoft.SystemCenter.NTService"]/DisplayName$ has no meaning at all.

All:

Goal: Get the Service Name passed as a parameter into the Alert Description. I have the server name working, but whatever I try for the service name results in blank output.

Issue:

I am authoring an unit monitor in Visual Studio using “Windows!Microsoft.Windows.CheckNTServiceStateMonitorType”). The alert parameter “$Target/Property[Type="Microsoft.SystemCenter.NTService"]/DisplayName$” results in a blank output in the Alert Description. I created a service monitor in the SCOM console and exported that to XML in order to determine what Alert Parameter is being used—and it’s the one listed above. However, when I am insert it into my MP, the Alert Parameter is blank in the Alert Description when the alert is generated. Below is the relevant MP code (scrubbed).

<Category>AvailabilityHealth</Category>

<AlertOnState>Error</AlertOnState>

<AlertPriority>Normal</AlertPriority>

<AlertSeverity>MatchMonitorHealth</AlertSeverity>

<AlertParameter1>$Target/Host/Property[Type="Windows!Microsoft.Windows.Computer"]/NetworkName$</AlertParameter1>

<AlertParameter2>$Target/Property[Type="Microsoft.SystemCenter.NTService"]/DisplayName$</AlertParameter2>

</AlertParameters>

</AlertSettings>

</OperationalStates>

<ComputerName>$Target/Host/Property[Type="Windows!Microsoft.Windows.Computer"]/NetworkName$</ComputerName>

<ServiceName>Spooler</ServiceName>

</Configuration>

</UnitMonitor>

</Monitors>

</Monitoring>
