Automating the setup of URL monitoring

  • [アーティクル]

One of the new things in OpsMgr is the ability to easily setup URL monitoring from multiple watcher nodes. What what if you want to monitor 500 different URLs? Setting this up manually could be pretty time consuming. Here is a script I put together that demonstrates how to automate this process using PowerShell.

There are four parameters you need to pass to this script:

1 - The URL

2 - One or more FQDNs of watcher nodes. The watcher nodes must have the OpsMgr agent installed.

3 - The display name of the type that will be created. This will appear in the authoring space where you see all the web site monitoring objects as well as when you will be creating the state view or alert view.

4 - The display name of the management pack into which all the URL monitoring logic will be stored as a result of running the script.

Here is exactly what you need to do to run this script:

1 - Open the OpsMgr Command Shell

2 - Type the following

C:\CreateUrlMonitoring.ps1 -url:"https://url.contoso.com" -watcherNodes:"watcherNode1.contoso.com","watcherNode2.contoso.com" -displayName:"Url Monitor 1" -targetMp:"WebSiteMonitoring"

Running the script with the above parameters will create the right monitoring logic to monitor "https://url.contoso.com" URL from watcherNode1.contoso.com and watcherNode2.contoso.com and store the monitoring logic in a management pack whose display name is WebSiteMonitoring.

Once you run the script, you will need to create state and alert views to see the status of the URL from the perspective of the watcher nodes.

If you find this sort of automation script useful and you want to see automation of other monitoring scenarios, please leave a comment and let me know.

The script is attached and the link is at the bottom of this post.

    Is there any way of forcing the web application monitor to use a client certificate to authenticate?We would like to monitor an IIS website that allows certificate auth only - not Basic, Digest or IWA/NTLM.

    I am not sure to tell you the truth. I suggest you post a question to one of the OpsMgr newsgroups or contact CSS.

    You need to open the OpsMgr commandshell first and then run the script.

    There is no easy way to do this with the script I posted as it requires manipulation of the MP objects created by the script.

    Can we check for searchstrings (like NetIQ)? E.g.: check if the return page has a string. If it doesn't (or not) generate an alert.

    You can do this, but through the UI rather than in powershell.

    Is there no other way of doing this through a script? We need to migrate 700 NetIQ URL monitors. If this is not possible through a script the customer wont be a happy customer.

    Hi Boris, we need to migrate 700 URL monitors from NetIQ to Operations Manager. If we are not able to script this the customer will not be happy. Is there any other way to script this except for Powershell?

    In theory there should be a way to do this, but there are no cmdlets for this, so it would require writing managed code.
