Learn how System Center Operations Manager can secure your infrastructure. Read the blog. The Operations Manager agent cannot be installed on a Service Manager management server because Service Manager uses the System Center Management service to process its own management packs. To monitor a Service Manager management server, you must configure it to use agentless monitoring, which allows Operations Manager to process its management packs on an Operations Manager management server.

Once the computer is added to the Operations Manager management group in this manner, it is monitored like any other computer. The only exception is that it will not run any rules or monitors that do not support an agentless scenario.

You can perform many of the functions that you can perform with Windows PowerShell cmdlets only within the context of an Orchestrator runbook. The activities included in the Operations Manager Integration Pack address the following scenarios:.

The Operations Manager Integration Pack allows you to create one or more connections to Operations Manager management servers that can be used by its activities.

Each connection holds the security configuration required to access a management group. NET Script activity. In this case, the Operations Manager cmdlets would need to be installed on the runbook server. If the account used for the Orchestrator Runbook Service does not have authority to the Operations Manager management group, then alternate credentials would need to be provided for this connection. In this case, the name and password could be stored as encrypted variables in Orchestrator so that they would not have to be hardcoded into the script.

In System Center, the management pack for Orchestrator discovers and measures the health of Orchestrator components such as management servers and runbook servers. It does not discover runbooks, nor does it monitor at the runbook level. For example, the management pack will send an alert if the runbook service on a runbook server fails, but it will not alert if a runbook fails. The recommended strategy to raise an alert in Operations Manager if a runbook fails is to include one or more Create Alert activities that raise an alert if a previous activity does not succeed.

You'll also find updates that are available for the management packs installed in your management group. A new capability, Machine Details , allows administrators to view the agent computer's name and the operating system installed on it. Operations Manager supports the latest application servers. For more information, see Supported application servers.

With Operations Manager , client-side monitoring supports Internet Explorer and the following web browsers:. Application performance monitoring APM can now monitor websites that are created with SharePoint The following features or feature updates were introduced in Operations Manager and are included in Operations Manager To prevent the SCX logs from growing and consuming all available free space on the system disk, a log rotation feature is now available for the SCX agent.

The Operations and Service Manager consoles and PowerShell modules can be installed on the same system. Support is added for OpenSSL 1. The UNIX and Linux agents were enhanced to detect a pseudo file system dynamically and ignore enumeration. You can now use a Linux agent with Fluentd support for log file monitoring on par with Windows Server. This update provides improvements over previous log file monitoring with support for:. Management pack developers can continue using it with the latest version of Visual Studio to create custom management packs.

They can use one of the management pack templates provided or edit an existing management pack. Performance improvements in the Operations console typically prevent the console from responding while a new management pack is being imported or deleted or a configuration change to a management pack is saved.

This capability provides greater security by no longer needing to enable basic authentication for Windows Remote Management WinRM. Service Map automatically discovers application components on Windows and Linux systems and maps the communication between services. It automatically builds a common reference map of dependencies across your servers, processes, and third-party services.

You can automatically create distributed application diagrams in Operations Manager based on the dynamic dependency maps in Service Map. For more information on how to plan and configure integration, see Service Map integration with System Center Operations Manager. In previous versions of Operations Manager, you had to upgrade from the evaluation version to a licensed version by using the PowerShell cmdlet Set-SCOMLicense after initial deployment of a new management group.

Registration of the product key now can be done during or after setup in the Operations console. The following sections introduce the new features or feature updates supported in Operations Manager Update Rollup 1 UR1. The following components now have a single installer each for all supported languages, instead of language-specific installers.

The installer automatically selects the language based on the computer's language settings where you're installing. The improvised user interface guides you through the installation steps, which patch the management server, update the databases, and update the management packs. For more information on how integrated patching is done, see Simplified management server patching - Operations Manager The existing universal management packs are enhanced in Operations Manager UR1.

These management packs are also version and distribution agnostic. For all future Linux platform support, the same management pack is updated instead of releasing a new management pack per Linux distribution.

The existing SLES 15 management pack is no longer on the download center. Use the new universal management pack for discovery and monitoring. Download the updated management packs from this website. Use the universal management pack previously mentioned to discover and monitor RHEL 8. With Operations Manager UR1, to improve reliability, a separate process is introduced to send the heartbeat.

Earlier, the performance and heartbeat collection threads used to run under the same process context. Because of this arrangement, any delay in performance data collection affected the system availability. With this change in Operations Manager UR1, during heartbeat collection, you can now see an additional omiagent process that runs under omi user.

For more information, see Performance and reliability improvements in the Linux agent. For more information, see Support for group Managed Service Accounts. The following changes will take effect to take advantage of this improvement:. The following sections introduce the new features or feature updates supported in Operations Manager Update Rollup 2 UR2.

Change tracking is enabled by default in UR2 to track and report the changes on the management packs and management pack objects. You can use the filters available in the reports to set the criteria and get the reports per your requirement. Learn more. In earlier releases, if there is a conflict in maintenance mode window for object s , the newly updated end time overwrites the existing scheduled time.

If this latest defined time is longer than previous value, then computer stays in maintenance mode for extended period.

However, when the latest defined time is shorter, then the computer comes out of maintenance mode, earlier than expected, generating false alerts. With UR2, if there is a conflict in maintenance mode end time, then the object will exit maintenance mode at the furthest end time defined for the object.

This feature is available in Operations Manager web console, which is now supported in UR2. However, this feature is not available from Web console. With UR2, using web console, you can create folders and place dashboards inside them. These folders can be saved in unsealed management packs. To install the agent on servers, see this procedure.
