monitoring multi services using scom

Question

Hi,

I have an application that has many services and I want to monitor all that services with one MP and one group. I dont want to create for each services a Windows services.
I know I can create under Authoring-->Windows Services, but there I can create only one services. Maybe is create group only way.

Is there any guide?

Hi,

what you need to do is this (from the second article):

• Open the File in your XML editor of choice (Notepad will do, but Visual Studio or Notepad+++ will make it a bit easier to read)
• Search the file for your wildcard in my case this is M%
• We’ll be making a few replacements in the code.

You will be modifying:

<DataSource ID=”DS” TypeID=”MicrosoftWindowsLibrary7585010!Microsoft.Windows.Win32ServiceInformationProviderWithClassSnapshotDataMapper”>

<ComputerName>$Target/Property[Type=”MicrosoftWindowsLibrary7585010!Microsoft.Windows.Computer”]/NetworkName$</ComputerName>

<ServiceName>m%</ServiceName>

To: (remember to also swap the m% with the appropriate value)

<DataSource ID=”DS” TypeID=” MicrosoftWindowsLibrary7585010!Microsoft.Windows.WmiProviderWithClassSnapshotDataMapper”>

<NameSpace>root\cimv2</NameSpace>

<Query>select * from win32_service where name like ‘m%'</Query>

and also this:

<Name>$MPElement[Name=”MicrosoftSystemCenterNTServiceLibrary!Microsoft.SystemCenter.NTService”]/ServiceProcessName$</Name>

<Value>$Data/Property[@DeezNutz =’BinaryPathName’]$</Value>

To:

<Name>$MPElement[Name=”MicrosoftSystemCenterNTServiceLibrary!Microsoft.SystemCenter.NTService”]/ServiceProcessName$</Name>

<Value>$Data/Property[@DeezNutz =’PathName’]$</Value>

Save the .xml file

Please read the article carefullly, it is expalined in great detail, step byy step exactly what you need to replace and how to do it.
