Feature Summary The following list gives an overview of the features introduced by Microsoft System Center Operations Manager Management Pack for SQL Server vNext Replication. Please refer to Microsoft SQL Server vNext Replication Management Pack Guide for more details. Full functionality will be available with SQL Server vNext GA. This CTP release only covers a subset of monitors and rules. We will work towards full functionality as we release new CTPs.

  • Agentless monitoring is now available along with traditional agent monitoring. Agentless monitoring target is defined by SQL Server vNext Monitoring Pool.
  • Usage of scripts is discontinued in favor of .Net Framework modules.
  • SQL Server Dynamic Management Views and Functions are now used for getting information on health and performance. Previously some of these monitors were using WMI and other system data sources.

We are looking forward to hearing your feedback.
