Voici une mise à jour attendue du pack d'amistration "de base" permettant de superviser l'état de santé de votre infrastructure de supervision :).
Au menu pas mal d'ajustement !
- Local and Remote Monitoring of an Agent’s Health
- Operations Manager agents monitor themselves for events and performance indicators that signal an issue with the agent’s health.
- Management servers also maintain an external perspective of an agent’s health via the Health Service Watcher.
- The ‘Agent Health State’ view provides a side-by-side dashboard of both perspectives on the agent.
- Optional, Automatic Agent Remediation Capabilities
- If the Health Service Watcher determines that an agent is unhealthy, a series of diagnostics and recoveries can be enabled to further diagnose the problem and event take actions to attempt to fix the problem (e.g. Ping the server to see if it is completely offline, start a stopped agent, trigger a reinstall, etc.). Refer to the management pack guide for more details.
- Agents are monitoring their own process to ensure that memory utilization is not sustained at unacceptable levels. If this condition is detected then the agent will automatically restart itself to force the freeing up of memory.
- Detection of Problems and Misconfigurations with Run As Accounts and Profiles
- Checks are run on a regular basis to detect if any of the management group’s “Windows” type Run As Accounts have credentials which are about to expire. Alerts will be raised, and where possible this will be done in advance of the credentials expiring to avoid outages.
- Alerts will be raised if any errors are encountered during the distribution of Run As Accounts.
- Monitoring of problems with Running Workflows in Management Packs
- Numerous rules are provided to detect if workflows within management packs are failing. Examples of workflows include discoveries, rules, monitors, etc. Failures can range from bad configurations on the workflows themselves, script failures, permissions problems, etc.
- Reports for identify drivers of data volumes in your environment
- Introduced with the 6.1.7599.0 release of the management pack, these reports provide insight into the overall data volumes being processed by your environments. These reports can be used for gaining an understanding of current usage levels in order to establish a baseline and for identifying opportunities for tuning.
- Operational Data Reporting
- Introduced in the 6.1.7599.0 release of the management pack, these reports gather information and sends reports to Microsoft on a weekly basis (if you select to send reports). Microsoft uses these reports to improve the quality of its management packs and Operations Manager 2007. Participation in the program is strictly voluntary. For more information, see the Management Pack Guide.
Suite à la récente sortie des Cumulative Update 2 pour les Cross Plateform :
Voici le lien pour obtenir directement les mises à jours du pack d'administration (6.1.7000.269) associé ainsi que les documentations d'utilisation:
Nous avons le plaisir de vous annoncer la disponibilité du second pack (KB979490) cumulatif de l'ensemble des correctifs disponible à ce jour pour les composants Cross Plateform votre infrastructure de supervision System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2 (SCOM) !
Note: Il contient les mises à jour contenu dans le précedent KB973583.
Pour le moment, ce dernier est disponible uniquement en anglais à l'adresse suivante :
Ce gros bébé de 260 mégaoctets permet de corriger les problèmes suivants:
- Ajout du support de nouvelles plateformes Unix/Linux (déja inclus dans la KB973583):
- SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (both 32-bit and 64-bit)
- Zones (Whole and Sparse Zones) for all supported version of Solaris
- Correction de nombreux bugs (déja inclus dans la KB973583):
- The Operations Manager 2007 R2 Cross Platform agent intermittently creates defunct processes on the UNIX system or on the Linux system. This behavior occurs in the following scenario:
- The password for the account that connects to the server is changed on the UNIX system or on the Linux system. For example, the password for the UNIX Action account or the UNIX Privileged RunAs account is changed.
- The password is not updated on the Operations Manager Management server.
- When this problem occurs, the defunct processes (scxcimservera) continue to exist until the Cross Platform agent restarts. These defunct processes consume system resources.
- The Cross Platform agent may not discover soft partitions on supported Solaris systems. Therefore, the disk provider may be unloaded, and then the Cross Platform agent may stop collecting information from the system disks.
- The Cross Platform agent may not restart after the supported AIX server reboots.
- Les nouveautés incluses dans ce Cumulative Update 2:
- The Log File provider rescans a file repeatedly if the size of the file has become smaller than last scan, generating old records and potentially causing performance issues on AIX computers and the Operations Manager Management server.
- When the Operations Manager Management server fails over to another Management server, alerts in the failed server’s log files may be re-generated and CPU load may increase significantly.
- The Cross Platform agent installed on a Solaris computer could stop working when the system configuration is changed. For example, when disks are added or removed on the Solaris computer.
- The Operations Manager agent stops working on computers running supported version of Solaris where Hot Spare Pool is declared by name and there is no disk association.
- The Operations Manager Management server fails to replace display string parameter while creating the alert for monitor state change.
- Operations Manager generates 'disk full' alerts when mounting UFS CDROMs on any supported version of Solaris.
- Certificate generation could fail when adding a new UNIX or Linux computer to the management group.
Enfin quelque mot sur la mise en production de ce dernier :
-
Ce correctif ne doit être appliqué que sur des serveurs hébergeant les rôles serveur d'administration (management server) ou passerelle (gateway)
-
Une fois installé, si nécessaire importez le pack d'administration Microsoft.Linux.SLES.11.MP
- Relancer l'assistant de détection d'agent Unix/Linux afin de redécouvrir vos serveurs et mettre à jour l'agent présent sur ces derniers.
