      Have you imported the correct MP's for these OS?

    Is there a distinguishing alert, similar to Windows, for Linux/Unix for ICMP (Failed to Connect to Computer) after a Heartbeat Failure?It is one thing for the agent to have issues, but a whole bigger issue if the computer is not reachable via ping.

      No, not built in. Microsoft considers HB failures the same as "server down" even though we know that's not realistic. Many customers institute a ping solution, the problem is that many environments today blog ICMP, therefore this isnt always a reliable method.

    dont believe this post is being monitored. I would LOVE to hear of ANYONE who is successfully monitoring Linux systems with SCOM 2016... in particular on SLES 11. Operations Manager is great. SCOM NOT SO!

    Hi Kevin, hope you can help me. Im installing SCOM 2016 agent on SUSE 12 Enterprise, i run scx-1.6.2-338.sles.12.x64.sh with putty and all is ok, but when i go to see the scx-host-[hostname].pem (/etc/opt/microsoft/scx/ssl/) isn´t created, i only can see scx.pem. How can i generate scx-host-[hostname].pem to sign the certificate in the MS?really thanks

    As there's not much documentation about multihomed unix servers and i dont really have the time for writing proper blog. if you are upgrading your SCOM 2012 environment to SCOM 2016 side by side, this will work fine as well.Just discover the unix/Linux servers already in the old environment. Make sure you have imported the xplat certs (in the blog above Configure the Xplat certificates) from the 2012 resource pool to all servers in de 2016 resource pool.The agent doesn't get upgraded in the proces, so this actually works without changing your sudoers. However, you do want to upgrade to the latest version, so you need to change sudoers to push the upgrade (also described in kevin's post).

    Hi Kevin,I am trying to accomlish an automated solution for this. Do you have any inputs? We want to roll out the software using chef (manually install seen from scom) where we will have to find a solution for copying and signing agent certificates before we have to run the discovery wizard, which is a nightmare.Any thoughts on this?Martin

    There is one little but important error in your guide:You have defined a single account for monitoring (scxmon) and then defined it as a signle UNIX/Linux RunAs Account instance with sudo elevation enabled. Then you have assigned this single RunAs Account to both the "Action" and "Privileged" RunAs Profiles.This wont work. When SCOM lanuches any command, that command is attributed with whether to use the "Action" or "Privileged" RunAs Profile, and if the UNIX/Linux RunAs Account assigned to that profile has sudo elevation enabled, it will always be used, regardless of real need.This will clearly conflict with sudoers configuration narrowing the use of sudo by SCX agent. In simple terms, virtually all of the unprivileged commands will fail to run due to disallowed sudo use.A proper way would be to configure the same linux account as two separate "UNIX/Linux RunAs Account" instances. One with sudo elevation enabled and the other without. Then assign the first one to the Privileged Account RunAs Profile, and the latter to Action Account RunAs Profile.This has been tested (and in fact discovered) in a real deployment and the first visible result of this misconfiguration was that neither Apache nor MySQL installations were discovered and displayed in the corresponding views ("Apache HTTP Servers" and "MySQL Servers" respectively).

    Hi Keven,I have added test Linux VM that is an Oracle Linux mix (dont ask) it discovered fine and is being monitored by SCOM as a Universal Linux agent, but we are not getting any Logical/Physical Disk or Network adaptor discovery, even after 24hrs?

    I've got a curious problem that I think is related to the SCOM performance rather than to the Linux agent deployment itself, but it's about an Agent deployment process, so I'll ask here:I've got an intermittent problem with agent deployment. Both Invoke-SCXDiscovery and Install-SCXAgent fail 95% of times due to the failure of a single task: "UNIX/Linux Discovery Enumerate Available Agents Task".I've reviewed the task and it succeeds occasionally, but in most cases it just runs for several minutes and then dies/timeouts. Yet the internal PowerShell script takes like a second to run if run manually - it just lists few directories and enumerates agent scripts into some XML.I assume that the issue must be that my SCOM server hits some powershell queue limit and the task script waits forever in that queue. But I lack insight as to where to look for such SCOM internals, how to debug it and confirm diagnosis.Would you be able to provide me with some help in that regard?

    Hi Kevin, Could I to configure an monitor for CPU and RAM with two states for the Linux Servers?
