PowerShell Script for Retrieving SCOM Monitor and Rule Configuration Details

Question

Hello,

As a new SCOM administrator, assistance is needed with PowerShell scripting. After upgrading to SCOM 2019, there is a requirement for reports containing monitor and rule configuration details for each server. Collecting this information individually from each server has proven challenging.

Could anyone provide a PowerShell script to help retrieve the monitor configuration details from a list of servers?

Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

You can download and use this, from Kevin Holman. Always test these in your test environment before using in other tiers.

There is also a .xml that you can load into (your test environment first to ensure it works for you). It has a really good explanation of how to create the dashboard along with a download link at the bottom of the article.

Hope this helps you.

Hi,

what you need is the SCOM Effective Monitoring Configuration Report. This will show you all discoveries, rules and monitors, initialized on a particular server or group of servers as well as all the their overrides, applied to that system or group of systems.

Thre ready-to-use script is part of the SCOMHelper PowerShell Module:

SCOM: Export Rules, Monitors, Overrides, Settings, Effective Monitoring Configuration with PowerShell

Please check on that too:

Script to export all effective configurations of Alert Rule in SCOM 2012 R2 & SCOM 2019

In there Leon gives one more Link to an older version of the script.

Hope this helps.
