System Requirements (SCOM) 2Before installing and configuring the Management Pack, ensure your system meets the following requirements:

vRealize Operations Requirements Microsoft SCOM Requirements

Version(s) vRealize Operations 6. 3+ (Enterprise edition)

Microsoft SCOM 2016

Microsoft SCOM 2012 (SP1, R2)

Connection Hostname (or IP address) of vROps system

The Management Pack for Microsoft SCOM collects data using the jtds drivervia port1433(default).

You will need your SCOM Database Hostname (or IP address).

Optional: Database name(s) to monitor (if specific databases are not specified, all databases will be returned).

Credentials N/A SCOM Database User Name/Password(See also: Configuring the Least-Privileged User (LPU) (SCOM))

Note If you use Active Directory (i.e., Windows Integrated Authentication), you must also provide the domain name. See: Creating a Credential (SCOM).

This chapter includes the following topics:

n Configuring the Least-Privileged User (LPU) (SCOM)

n Adding an SSL Certificate to the vROps Truststore (SCOM)

Configuring the Least-Privileged User (LPU) (SCOM)

The following SQL script should set up a local LPU user and grant the required SELECT permissions to the necessary tables in order to collect data from the source database. You may choose to use an AD user account instead of a local as indicated in the script.

Take note of the following placeholders within the script:

n Replace LPUUSERNAME with DB username for LPU user

n Replace LPUPASSWORD with LPU user password

VMware, Inc. 6

Page 7: Microsoft SCOM Management Pack for - VMware

n Replace LPUROLE with the name you want to assign to the LPU role

Note If the operational database is on a separate system than the Data Warehouse database, those sections of the script must be run on the correct corresponding systems.

Adding an SSL Certificate to the vROps Truststore (SCOM)

Management Pack for Microsoft SCOM

VMware, Inc. 9

Page 10: Microsoft SCOM Management Pack for - VMware

We recommend adding an SSL certificate for your SCOM host server to the vROps truststore to prevent a Missing SSL Certificate error during configuration, as well as help provide an added level of security. (See: Chapter 6 Troubleshooting the Management Pack (SCOM))

Note Different levels of security can be configured in the Management Pack. The least secure configuration is to set the SSL Config Advanced Setting to No SSL. The next level of security is to set SSL Config to No Verify , and the Management Pack will accept all SSL certificates. For the highest level of security, you can set SSL Config to Verify, and the Management Pack will have to verify the SSL certificate on your vROps system. See: Creating an Adapter Instance (SCOM).

To add the SSL certificate to your vROps truststore:

1 Obtain the SSL certificate for your SCOM host server from your Internet browser. Export the certificate as an X.509 Certificate (PEM).

2 Copy the certificate to your vROps machine.

3 Use ‘ssh’ to log in to the vROps machine as the root user, then run the following command:

Linux:

$VCOPS_BASE/jre/bin/keytool -import -alias <product_alias> -file /tmp/<certfile> -keystore “$VCOPS_DATA_VCOPS/user/conf/ssl/tcserver.truststore” -storepass <truststore_password> -trustcacerts

Windows:

%VCOPS_BASE%\jre\bin\keytool -import -alias <product_alias> C:\path\to\certfile -keystore “%VCOPS_DATA_VCOPS%\user\conf\ssl\tcserver.truststore” -storepass <truststore_password> -trustcacerts

Note The <truststore_password> is generated by vROps and is located in/storage/vcops/user/conf/ssl/storePass.properties. Copy the password from thessltruststorePassword= field and paste it in the <truststore_password> placeholder.

Parameter Descriptions:

n -alias is a unique name for each key that you add (per host)

n certfile is the location where the cert file was saved

4 Run the reboot command to re-start the vROps machine for the changes to take effect.

n Max Events: The default maximum number of events returned per collection cycle is 5000.

n Support Autodiscovery: When you enable autodiscovery (default), the Management Pack creates resources and relationships in vROps, then collects data for the discovered resources after the main collection query runs. This should not be set to False

Note The collection interval for the adapter instance resource determines how often the Management Pack collects data. The default collection interval is five minutes, but the interval can be changed in the scom.properties file.

What to do next

n To validate data collection, see: Validating Data Collection (SCOM).

Running Historical Mode (SCOM)

To backfill data after upgrading to a new version of the Management Pack, you can run historical mode, as follows:

1 Stop all adapter instances.

2 Go to the $VCOPS_BASE/user/plugins/inbound/msscom_adapter3/conf directory.

3 Open the historical.properties file and set historicModeEnabled=true and hoursOfDataToCollectOnInstall to be greater than 0.

Note OPTIONAL: Set historicalDataChunkSizeInMinutes, which is the amount of time that each historical collection will be allotted. An example would be to set it to 100 hours of data to collect, with 600 minute intervals so that there will be 10 historical collections with 10 hours of data each.

4 Go to the $VCOPS_BASE/user/plugins/inbound/msscom_adapter3/work director.

5 Remove the lastcollection_<#>.properties file that corresponds with the adapter instance. If you want to use historical collection on all adapters, remove all lastcollection_<#>.properties files.

6 Restart the adapters. Historical metrics should fill in as expected.

Configuring the Properties File (SCOM)

Management Pack for Microsoft SCOM

VMware, Inc. 21

Page 22: Microsoft SCOM Management Pack for - VMware

The scom.properties file in the $VCOPS_BASE/user/plugins/inbound/msscom_adapter3/conf/folder contains general settings that apply to all database queries. You can modify these properties to customize Management Pack operation.

Note After you modify property values, stop and restart collection for the adapter instance for changes to take effect.

Prerequisites

n Creating an Adapter Instance

Properties

The following additional configuration settings can be found in the scom.properties file located in the $VCOPS_BASE/user/plugins/inbound/msscom_adapter3/conf/ folder. You can modify the entries in the file, and they will be read in during the next collection.

true

What to do next

n If you set the Support Autodiscovery setting to False, see: Discovering Resources Manually.

n To validate data collection, see: Validating Data Collection.

Adding Top-Level Object Types (SCOM)

By default, the Management Pack for SCOM recognizes a default list of object types (i.e., resource kinds). (See: Resource Kinds and Relationships (SCOM)). You can configure additional top-level object types using the topLevelResourceKinds property in the scom.properties file. SCOM entities that are not configured as top-level types appear as metric groups under the nearest top-level parent entity. If multiple levels of objects that are not top-level appear under a top-level object, the Management Pack for SCOM creates groups within groups. EXAMPLE: if an entity named mydb of type Microsoft.SQLServer.Database is not configured as a top-level type, it appears as an instanced group named Microsoft.SQLServer.Database:mydb. The Management Pack will assign all metrics for mydb to the instanced group.

Prerequisites

n Creating an Adapter Instance (SCOM)

Procedure

1 The query returns all SCOM entities.

a For a database, run the query SELECT Name FROM ManagedTypeView ORDER BY Name

b For a data warehouse, run the query SELECT ManagedEntityTypeSystemName FROM vManagedEntityType ORDER BY ManagedEntityTypeSystemName

2 From the query results, find the entity types to add as a top-level object type.

3 Edit the scom.properties file to add the value(s) to the comma-separated list in the topLevelResourceKinds property.

4 Save your changes and close the scom.properties file.

5 Optionally, add the object type to the categories.properties file, assigning it to the category group Appliances, Applications, Operating Systems, Services, Servers, or Virtualization.

Management Pack for Microsoft SCOM

VMware, Inc. 23

Page 24: Microsoft SCOM Management Pack for - VMware

6 Stop and restart collection for the adapter instance.

Modifying Default Database Queries (SCOM)

The Management Pack for SCOM uses certain default SQL queries to collect SCOM data and discover SCOM objects. These queries are modified with each version of the Management Pack.

Caution CAUTION! We DO NOT recommend modifying the default database queries unless you are familiar with this type of advanced configuration.

If you choose to modify the default queries at your own risk, they can be found within the following template properties files, which are located at $VCOPS_BASE/user/plugins/inbound/msscom_adapter3/conf/:

n sql_db.properties.template – contains default queries for the Database source database type

n sql_dw.properties.template – contains the default queries for the Data warehouse source database type

When modifying queries, you will want to re-name the files by removing the .template portion of filename, and then stop and restart data collection for the adapter instance in order for the new properties to take effect.

Note Each query must return a result that contains the same number of columns with the same names (labels). In addition, you will want to ensure that the default number of parameters (indicated by ?) is retained, in the same order, when modifying the queries. For example, the mainCollectSQL query must have two parameters to specify the time window to retrieve metrics: (pdav.TimeSampled > ? AND pdav.TimeSampled <= ?) ORDER BY TS

Validating Data Collection (SCOM)

After you add an adapter instance, you will most likely want to validate the data that it collects in vROps.

Prerequisites

n Creating an Adapter Instance (SCOM)

Procedure

1 Select the Environment navigation shortcut.

2 Under Inventory Trees, select All Objects , then expand the Microsoft SCOM objects list.
