Microsoft SystemCenter Tool : Migrate GSM Tests from SCOM to Azure Application Insights

  • Version: 1.0.0.2
  • Released: 9/14/2018
  • As of November 07, 2018, we will retire the Global Service Monitor and recommend our customers to migrate GSM tests to Azure Application Insights well before that date. The migration script will provision your tests with the same configuration in Application Insights as you have in GSM. The migration script will also provision alert rules based on what you are currently using in SCOM. This tool will create new Ping tests and Web tests in Application Insights. This tool will not impact customer's SCOM GSM environment and GSM tests in SCOM will continue to work till November 7th 2018. Post November 7th 2018, we recommend deleting GSM MP from the SCOM server. If customers want to bring the Alerts data back in SCOM, they can use Azure MP at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=50013 We recommend customers to run this tool well before November 07, 2018.

  • Microsoft Ignite | September 24-28, 2018 | Orlando, Florida

    Watch live https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/ignite as Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella lays out his vision for the future of tech, then watch other Microsoft leaders explore the most important tools and technologies coming in the next year. After the keynotes, select Microsoft Ignite sessions will stream live—take a deep dive into the future of your profession.

    There's a script and information out here. It has the details on how to use the parameters for the script, etc.: https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Ignite-2016-Slidedeck-and-296df316. I had to install the Visual C++ 2010 Redist Package from for the Youtube-dl.exe utility to work. Without it I kept getting pop-ups and the script itself would skip the videos altogether.

    Video downloads will leverage one or more utilities:

      

    • YouTube-dl, which can be downloaded from https://yt-dl.org/latest/youtube-dl.exe. This utility needs to reside in the same folder as the script. The script itself will try to download this utility when the utility is not present.
