Monitoring Active Roles Administration Service with Management Pack for SCOM

This section describes the processing rules that Management Pack for SCOM uses to monitor the availability and health of the Active Roles Administration Service. These include the following:

  • General response

  • Replication monitoring

  • Monitoring of connection to configuration database

  • Monitoring of Dynamic Group-related operations

  • Monitoring of Group Family-related operations

  • Internal error

  • Critical error on startup

  • License system failure

Monitoring of general response and replication is performed via custom, script-based processing rules. Those rules run on a scheduled basis, analyzing information returned by the scripts and raising an appropriate event if an error is detected. The schedule is stored as part of rule configuration data, and can be adjusted by managing rule properties in the Operations Manager console.
