Hi Kevin Trouble is by creating the monitor you mention you are actually duplicating work that OpsMgr is doing. It sort of highlights the lack of logic in some functionality. To me, it makes no sense that I have to do a ping script as a monitor when OpsMgr has a much more powerful solution - agent heartbeat with associated ping of servers on which the agent heartbeat has been missed. I just need to get that information into the console .... and the fact that OpsMgr can't is a something of design flaw. As I mentioned on the newsgroups, I don't think the report is feasible for near real time info in a large environment. Cheers GrahamAnonymous

You are correct - It looks like in this RDL file I named my data source "Ops" instead of "OpsDB". Simply open the RDL file - edit that, and import..... or simply go to your imported report - edit it - change the data source to your live data source that points to the opsDB.Anonymous

YES! I do. :-) In R2 - this is super easy - because we can subscribe to alerts rule by rule - monitor by monitor. In SP1 - it is doable - just a bit more difficult.

Nice report. Works well,and I learnt a thing or two about SRS along the way. I did have to refer to Marnix's blog about importing rdl files, but then it all came together. Thx Kevin John Bradshaw http://thoughtsonopsmgr.blogspot.com/2009/12/how-to-upload-rdl-file-for-sql-server.htmlAnonymous

Hi, I do not understand how to IMPORT the report in to the new Custom report folder. I notice that the reports on my reporting server are *.rpdl but this attachment is *.rdl. How do I get this report into the new folder? Thx, John BradshawAnonymous

Ahhh .. didn't read that properly before I posted!! Meant the fact that agent health state couldn't be incorporated into the computer state view is something of a flaw ... realise there are the agent health state views as per my posting in the newsgroup ;-)Anonymous

One note to add - in OpsMgr you will get a distinct alert whenever an agent doest not respond to ping, in addition to the heartbeat failurre alert. What we dont have - is a state view JUST for computers that are down... You could easily write a custom monitor that runs a ping script - and build your own state view for this in the console... and not need this report. The benefit of the report is being able to schedule it and deliver via email or sharepoint.Anonymous

Upgrade from SQL 2008 to SQL 2008 R2 is unsupported as of this writing. It is on the roadmap, and will come with the release of the next CU. This is a blog post on its own on my blog with details.Anonymous

With MOM 2005, we can accomplish this quite easily using the following approach: An SERVER DOWN alert can be generated in response to an internally-generated ping failure event created by a MOM Agent ping script which is part of a MOM Agent connectivity rule. This rule monitors for the internal failure event and will generate a "Service Unavailable" alert indicating that the Agent Computer is most likely down (or has lost network connectivity). Note that 12 ping attempts over a 90 second period along with an additional ping after 15 minutes must all have failed before this alert is generated.Anonymous

I tried to use this UDL file by following the steps as mentioned in this site. When i run the report getting this error "An error has occurred during report processing. Cannot create a connection to data source 'ops'. For more information about this error navigate to the report server on the local server machine, or enable remote errors ". Please advise.

Do you know of any way to setup subscriptions for only "ping failed" notifications? Right now every time a server fails a heart beat and cannot be pinged we receive two text messages. One for the heart beat failure and one for the Ping failure.Anonymous

Nice Blog, thank you Kevin I wanted to import your report (Servers_Down_Report.rdl) but that was written with Report Server 3. Now I'm updating SQL 2008 SP1 to R2 but the setup failed with two errors:
- RS_NoCustomAuthExtensions (The Report Server has some custom authentication extensions configured)
- RS_NoCustomSecurityExtensions (The Report Server has some custom security extensions configured) can you please help? Thanks, Reto
