I’ve been working on several things all in parallel, and I’ll give you a little insight into them all.
But first, don’t forget to enter the Pavleck.NET Contest for your chance to win 1 of two Amazon.Com gift cards. We’re currently at a paltry 10 entries, so your chances are pretty good to say the least. If I get a good turnout for this, I’ll make this a regular event – I already have next months prize ready, too. A rare copy of System Center Operations Manager 2007 Unleashed – signed by all the authors. Not many of these exist, but I have one for you!
What’s I’m working on:
- Writing a small MOM 2005 to SCOM 2007 migration report script. Examines your agents from MOM and compares them with what’s installed in SCOM.
- Attempting to write a small service that will handle custom alert notifications by matching alert names to notification groups through the SDK. A simple XML file is used to create the configuration, and it’s as easy to setup as this:
1234567891011<SCRAPPI><MS><RMS>draco.pavleck.org</RMS></MS><AlertMatrix><alert matchType="Prefix"><alertName>My Custom Alert Prefix</alertName><notiRecip>f6f0278c-9bd7-874a-db18-cf85f2620c4d</notiRecip></alert></AlertMatrix></SCRAPPI> - Work on SCOPE continues, including a partial command list – feel free to add to it.
- As does an article (With a nifty flow chart!) of the steps to take to handle an alert storm, from the console all the way to SQL – get that system back in action!
