January addendum updates for multiple management packs<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
First, the biggest change item for large enterprise environments included a change in syntax for get-SCOMAlert<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n
Example<\/strong><\/div>\n
get-scomalert -ResolutionState (0..254) -Name “##stringhere##*”<\/span><\/div>\n
get-scomalert -ResolutionState 255 -Name “##stringhere##*”<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Second, another change with the repo’s was a ‘whitespace audit’ encoded characters, or ‘data concealment’.\u00a0 See\u00a0AT&T link CyberSecurity Link<\/a><\/h5>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Third, after whitespace we focused on script\/workflow efficiencies seen in large enterprise environments.\u00a0 While Efforts began in December, the workflow efficiencies sprint resulted in two sets of improvements.<\/h5>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
\"Fast<\/a>
Fast and Efficient<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
1) Added ‘Reset Monitors Script base code’ $Age variable<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
What does this mean?<\/strong><\/div>\n
Simply put $Age allows admins to define monitor age before resetting.<\/div>\n
The default is 1 (day), but can be specified in the script to tailor to requirements.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Example<\/strong><\/div>\n
$Age = [DateTime](Get-Date).AddDays(-1)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
2) Beyond incorporating $Age<\/span> into the reset monitor logic, the packs utilize logic for a much faster runtime (~90%+).<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
What does this mean?<\/strong><\/div>\n
Updated logic quickly gathers unhealthy monitor objects, by leveraging ‘Get-SCOMManagementPack<\/span>‘ and then ‘Get-SCOMClass<\/span>‘, before passing to ‘Get-SCOMClassInstance<\/span>‘.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Example PowerShell<\/strong><\/div>\n
## Grab the MP, get the Monitors and Rules from the MP, then grab all alerts found inside the Monitors\/Rules<\/div>\n
$SCOMCoreMP = Get-SCOMManagementPack -DisplayName “Microsoft Windows Server DNS Monitoring”<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
# Get classes – Examples –<\/div>\n
$Monitoring = $SCOMCoreMP<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
# DNS pack naming<\/div>\n
$DNSClasses = @(Get-SCOMClass -ManagementPack $Monitoring; )<\/div>\n
$DNSClass = $DNSClasses | sort -property Name -uniq<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
