System Center Operations Manager 2012 Toolbox

  • Artikkeli

After posting some years ago a blog post with all the OpsMgr 2007 tools I thought it would be time for a new OM2012 Toolbox blog post.

 

Tool Purpose Description Author Webpage
MPViewer 2.2 MP Viewing

The previous version 1.7 (that works with OpsMgr 2007 and 2007 R2) was released here. Version 2.1.2 has been updated to work with OpsMgr 2012, and now includes support for MPB files (MP Bundles) as well as the ability to Unseal and Unpack MP Bundles. Warning: only MP Bundles that contain a single ManagementPack are supported; there are some Service Manager MPBs that contain multiple ManagementPacks in a single bundle, and this tool currently cannot deal correctly with those.

GTMTool Dashboard Authoring

In OpsMgr 2012, we provided users the ability to create customized dashboards using the OpsMgr 2012 console. The GTM.exe tool provided in this blog allows you to build off these dashboard investments, in particular we allow you to accomplish three specific tasks that you cannot do via the console.

1. Turn IT Pro Console created dashboards into shippable MPs by stripping out management group specific parameters (removes MG GUIDs from dashboard MPs)

2. Provides the ability to have a custom dashboard show up under any Management Pack folder in the Monitoring view.

3. Have a custom dashboard be launched from the task pane when you pick a specific computer or object.

    Hi Stefan, Thanks for this great list. I'm wondering if you could share the SCOMTypeView tool? Like you said, the download link from System Center Central is not valid anymore. Thanks Tao
