SCOM Connector QuickStart Guide

Ambrose Wong put together a great quick start guide to connectors in SCOM. I've attached the Word version below. Any feedback is appreciated and I can pass it on to Ambrose.

    Also, SP1 is expected to RTM before end of Feb and there will be a link from www.microsoft.com/opsmgr to download the final SP1.  All downloads include both 32 and 64 bits.  You can also find the RC of SP1 here:  https://connect.microsoft.com/SystemCenter/Survey/NominationSurvey.aspx?SurveyID=1228&ProgramID=500

    Reporting is part of the product and is a role that can be installed.

    Jakub, Is there any special MP for "Windows Data Storage server 2003" Or should just use the standard win 2003 MP to monitor that ?

    After successfully coding up a .NET console app that reads notices from and HPSIM SQL store, and writes them into a SCOM instance as a “CustomMonitoringEvent”s, I have a few questions: [1]  How exactly to register an inbound SCOM connector. MSDN’s "Connecting to External Systems by Using Operations Manager Connectors" is useful, but leaves me wondering how the registration process really works. The information/properties used to create/register a new connector do not seem to include any references to my actual program file. [2]  I could use some tips on how to properly assure that my CustomMonitoringEvents are going into the proper MonitoringClass. Right now, I am using an aribitrary MonitoringClass to create events into. This code seems to close to what I need to run: string MonitoringClassQuery = "Name='System.Chassis'"; MonitoringClassCriteria ChassisClassCriteria = new MonitoringClassCriteria(MonitoringClassQuery); ReadOnlyCollection<MonitoringClass> classes = mg.GetMonitoringClasses(ChassisClassCriteria); But it fails to find any MonitoringClass for “Name='System.Chassis'”. I hope that this MonitoringClass simply needs to be created somehow. [3]  So I am creating CustomMonitoringEvents, and I can find them using the SCOM UI. But I think I might need to get Alerts created from the Events, in order for IMQ to pick them up. How does one generate Alerts from Events? I hope this would be a one-time setup of to fire Alerts when any CustomMonitoringEvents for Name='System.Chassis' occur. Thank you Eric

    [1] You only create the connector. We don't run your code for you, so you still need to run your code either via an application or service. [2] I am not sure I follow on this one. What do you mean by "going into the proper MonitoringClass." The event doesn't take a class. [3] You need to create rules that generate alerts off the events. This is a good start: http://blogs.msdn.com/jakuboleksy/archive/2006/09/27/Sample-Alert-and-State-Change-Insertion.aspx

    Do you ever call Cleanup on your connector? If so, this is likely causing the problem. Cleanup should only be called when you uninstall your connector.

    I found the problem... ...Actually I removed accidentally che built-in connector installed when SCOM in installed... I beg you pardon but I have a lot of problems with SCOM MCF. I do not find answers, therefore where may I put my questions ? In this blog? If yes, where? If no, where may I post ?

    You can post questions here or in the newsgroups, preferably the SDK newsgroup.

    I had the opportunity to build a simple product connector for System Center Operations Manager 2007 last week. A product connector is used to forward alert information from OpsMgr to an external system. This post describes how I built the product connector

    Please tell me how to create an alert subscription for an outbound connector through the OMCF service, I was not able to find any method related to that in the SCOM 2007 web service. Thanks in Advance.

    You can't do this via the web service, you can only do it via the public APIs.
