Nutanix Monitoring on SCOM or OMS

Comtrade has been around quite some time now delivering custom management packs, in my experience for everything Citrix, F5 now, and Nutanix for SCOM and OMS.

Their profile is accurate in my opinion “The SCOM Extension Specialists”

Comtrade’s Channel Profile states “we natively integrate with System Center Operations Manager, providing a comprehensive monitoring of network (F5) and hyperconverged infrastructure (Nutanix) with insight into Citrix and Microsoft applications.”

Note: These MP’s are not free.  Contact for a trial key and download.

 

If you use Nutanix hosts, this will provide insights on configuration, logs, resource performance, and overloaded clusters/hosts

SCOM MP dashboards don’t look that much different, but provide easy insight into your virtual environment

Getting Started with OMS – Operations Manager Suite

How do you make sure the business you’re in is productive and making widgets?

 

What does OMS do?

Acronym:  OMS – Operations Manager Suite

IMHO

Answer:  Pretty much anything you can imagine to help provide a single pane of glass into what is happening in your IT environment.

Do you use System Center?

You can tailor OMS to any solution in the Solutions gallery, and you can even request solutions and functionality in the UserVoice website.

 

Ready to dig into OMS, even if you’re not cloud based?

 

OMS has four basic services

Azure Application Insights

Application Insights

Application Insights simply put is Application Performance Management for web developers (or DevOps) on multiple platforms

Are you trying to solve how to monitor application performance?

Do you need to monitor application performance for ASP.NET, Java or Node.js apps?

SCOM can monitor, but not necessarily with the same functionality

Riverbed makes products, but at a higher cost

 

Dashboard

 

 

Much like SCOM APM agent, application Insights Monitors the same information, without having to setup SCOM in Azure

This is also an OMS solution, so if you’re using Azure for Web Applications, this should be on the to-do list

 

 

 

How about application Telemetry data?
