SCOM is definitely geared to the Microsoft eco-system. For monitoring stuff that comes from non-Microsoft vendors, you generally need an MP from that vendor (or author your own). SCOM requires a fair amount of tuning out-of-the-box as the MS MPs generate vast amounts of information. MyITForum has a pretty active SCOM forum
From: helpdesk UK [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, 31 December 2010 2:09 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Monitoring Software Thank you for the quick response. To be honest we are not looking at free stuff due to various reasons....hence I did not ask that question earlier but... Having read what I have...no comments on SCOM ? why not SCOM ?? Does it require a lot of scripting hence it is not proffered ? OR Does it not integrate with switches / routers easily ? Does it not perform mrtg graphs ? Does it require more resources ? Does it not monitor vmware ? OR Once you purchase the product from MS than you basically go to 3rd parties to buy plug-ins for SCOM ? like quest supply some modules ? cheers John On 30 December 2010 15:01, Erik Goldoff <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: http://www.nagios.org/ Erik Goldoff IT Consultant Systems, Networks, & Security ' Security is an ongoing process, not a one time event !
