    To:  Dinesh That is because this query is not for the warehouse database.  It is for the Operations database.

    Re: DHCP Yes - thats a very old MP.  That makes sense now. I would normally say go upgrade that MP.... but if you are happy with the monitoring it provides - you might just keep it.  The current updated Native DHCP MP 6.0.6452.0 has some significant monitoring limitations, due to some advanced monitoring that it performs, and I am not 100% sure those limitations are present in the conversion MP.  I just dont know.  Like I said - if you are happy, I'd probably stick with it.

    Hello, I found this ... http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc655729.aspx#BKMK_ApplicationProviderPath For these rules to work, you need to create the %SMS_INSTALL_DIR_PATH% environment variable on your site server with the installation path that was specified for your site installation. The environment variable path should not end in a backslash. Each Configuration Manager 2007 server with a sender must be a managed computer. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc755616(WS.10).aspx Is it what is missing ONLY? Thanks, Dom

    Great post Kevin, thanks. I made a slight change that may be useful to others: I added the Channel field which - in SCOM 2012 - shows the event log the events are from. Saves a lot of time digging :) The query on my side now is: SELECT top 20 Number as EventID, COUNT(*) AS TotalEvents, Publishername as EventSource, Channel as EventLogName FROM EventAllView eav with (nolock) GROUP BY Number, Publishername, Channel ORDER BY TotalEvents DESC

    Thanks Marco - The 31707 is a known issue - from you not configuring your SMS MP according to the guide.  There is a variable for the SMS logs path in the MP - and you need to set this variable on ALL your SMS servers.  I would STRONGLY recommend you set this up correctly - otherwise you arent monitoring your logs, and you are flooding opsmgr with these events. I dont have any 1501 events - what are they when you create the view to look at those? The others are known issues - and I would diable them.

    I searched the XML of all the current DHCP MP's - and 1501 is not in them.  What DHCP MP are you using, what OS version is your DHCP server, and what is the EXACT rule or monitor name, and target, that is responsible for inserting the 1501?

    Dom: Which MP are you running - the SCCM MP, or the SMS MP?  Or both?

    Dom: As for the other events - you should follw exactly what the blog posts says - create views for them in "My Workspace" - look at them and see if this is indicative of a big problem - or something you just wanna turn off.   Several of the ones in your list are ones I turn off collection rules for.  The others that are not in my list... I would investigate.

    If the TEST event is your largest event - you just dont have anything goin on yet. :-) (but yeah - I'd disable it if it was my top event and showed me no value)

    Hi Kevin, thanks for sharing this Information. To give you some feedback on the Events i see in our Environment: Top1 (1.8 Million! Events) - EventID 31707 (Error monitoring parent directory. Directory = %SMS_INSTALL_DIR_PATH%) followed by Event 1501, 10409, 21024, 10403 with about 200k each. So maybe 31707 is an issue for other environments too. Regards Marco

    Event 1501 is from the DHCP Scope Monitoring, collecting the address status. From the Product Knowledge of the Rule: Summary This rule collects the following DHCP related information: DHCP superscopes and scopes DHCP superscope and scope relationships DHCP superscopes and scope utilization Caution: Disabling this rule prevents the DHCP server superscope and scope monitoring and reports from functioning.

    Hi Kevin, I've checked and figured out the 1206. Apparently 1 (ONE!) server was going ballistic a couple of days ago. Unfortunately it was an nWorks Virtual Infrastructure Collector. These servers collect all info on VM Hosts & Guests. Typically I saw all kinds of Events like this one: Rule/Monitor "nworks.VMware.VEM.VC2Alarm.VMGUEST.CPU.toRed", running for instance "_Total" with id:"{C5AC8DDB-DE26-A276-9177-1D9E5D854400}" failed, got unloaded and reached the failure limit that prevents automatic reload. The 117 is also an interesting one :-) According to Veeam: This is intended as an update "hint" to the mom/scom MP. This event drives the performance data consumer in the MP. The description contains this kind of info: SV110 Performance data for 'VMDiskProperties' class published in WMI Guess I'm gonna drop the guys at nworks a couple of questions. Cheers, Serge

    Hi Kevin, regarding the 1501 Events. We currently have about ~170 DHCP Servers included in our SCOM Monitoring, running Windows Server 2003. The exact Rule Name is "DHCP Scope Monitoring", the Rule Target is "Microsoft Windows 2003 DHCP Servers Installation". The MP is V6.0.5000.33, probably a rather old Version.

    Hello, Which SMS MP guide are you referring to? I have checked the Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007 Guide unsucessfully as I could not see any SMS MP name ... should I install one on top of my existing configuration? Does it have another name in SCOM 2007? Thanks, Dom

    Most common event in my OpsDB so far (which is not that long) is: Source: Health Service Script Generating Rule: Collect Distributed Workflow Test Event Event Number: 6022 Level: Information Description:  LogEndToEndEvent.js : This event is logged to the Windows Event Log periodically to test a event collection. Seems like a decent candidate for disabling but I didn't see it anyones list here.   Thoughts?

    Hello, So I'm trying to create overrides for some of the top events in our database. For instance, Event 21402 and 21403 which you also list in your list of common events to disable. This rule (Collect Batch Response Module Events) is targeted to Health Service and when I right click the event to create an override it shows "Override the rule... For all objects of class: Health Service".  I select this target, put a check mark in the "override" field, change Override Value to "False", select a custom MP to store the override in and click OK.  I can even view the override using the Summary link.  But, the events keep coming in... several days later, so it's not that I'm just not waiting long enough for the new configuration to take effect.  I've found that overrides I create for rules that target something other than "Health Service" work fine... but they seem to never work for Health Service. Is there something I'm missing here? Should I be targeting a different class? Thanks.

    Hi,Is it me or we cannot override a specific event in the DHCP MP?Because the replication process is awful for the number of event logs. See below.EventID TotalEvents EventSource106 169522 Microsoft-Windows-DHCP-Server107 169451 Microsoft-Windows-DHCP-Server17 90449 Health Service Script108 50343 Microsoft-Windows-DHCP-Server73 43848 Microsoft-Windows-DHCP-Server74 43846 Microsoft-Windows-DHCP-ServerWhile on the main there are only 2-3 change events on the main, the replicate seems to flush and re-write every reservation.So I came across that post because I wish to remove the events 106-108 from the replica. But the override option I see is only to disable all collection.And under Data source, I only have the view option.Thanks

      MP: Microsoft.Windows.2008R2.DHCP.ServerVersion: 6.0.6709.0Rule name: Rule for event collection - DHCP server configuration changesRule Target: Microsoft.Windows.2008R2.DHCP.Server.Role

      1. That MP is really poorly written, and you should remove it ASAP. Upgrade your DHCP servers and get them off of WS2008R2, which is ending extended support lifecycle soon.2. You should disable all the event collection rules in that MP if you want to keep it.That MP should have never been shipped in the way it was. It is nothing but a TON of event and performance collection which serves very little purpose, and almost ALL the monitors are terrible:a. They are almost all manual reset which is a worst practice.b. They are event log monitors which are a bad idea in the first place. Event based monitors are unreliable.I'd seriously recommend disabling every rule in that MP.The DHCP MP's for Windows Server 2012 and 2016 are WAY better MP's.

          Hi,Thanks for the reply, I think the majority if not all of our DHCP are already at 2012 R2, but strangely it`s still that MP that was trapping the events. Following your comment, I will work with my team to remove it ASAP.Thanks again for the quick reply and have a nice day. :)
