The problem is that we have over 200
servers with different roles. I wish Unicenter had an agent that can look at a
server that is set to automatic and if its stopped, send an alert. I know MOM
does this. This seems link this is going to be a tedious job. -Devon From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rich Milburn Hi When you are configuring
service monitoring, I would start out by getting a list of the services that
are running on each server, and then eliminating the ones that are,
what’s the word I’m looking for... redundant? For example,
it’s silly to monitor the SNMP service with an SNMP agent – if the
SNMP service goes down, you won’t get a report via SNMP. You should
(IMHO) start out monitoring a subset of your total services, and select the
ones that are specific to a server’s function. On each server, pick
out which services are running that, if stopped, will mean a loss of
service. For example, losing MSSQL service would be bad on a SQL server.
WW Web Publishing Service would be bad to lose on a Web server. And so
on. Pick a couple on each server, and monitor those to start with.
Other things to select for are dependencies – not just in the service
defs, but for example if SNMP service goes down, you’ll have all the
others go red and send events too. Otherwise, if you’re not
careful, you’ll end up with a red map all the time, and it won’t
mean anything. I wish I still had lists
for Win2K… but that was 2 years ago on a different continent. Rich ----------------------------------------------------------------------- From:
