Using the PowerShell Community Management Pack

Graham Davies

Technical Product Manager – SCOM products

We're excited to announce a new series of posts over the coming weeks covering how to use the Community PowerShell Management Pack to enhance your SCOM monitoring. The Community Management Pack brings PowerShell scripting wizards to SCOM authoring so you can plug your existing PowerShell scripts into SCOM with minimal complexity.

There will be examples of configuring monitors, rules (alert and performance), diagnostics and recoveries, and how to leverage "Cookdown" to improve performance and scalability of your PowerShell scripts.

The history of the Management Pack

The future of the Management Pack

A new blog series

Part 1 - Create a Monitor to remotely monitor a file share including using Run As Accounts.

Part 2 - Create a Performance Collection Rule to use the same data source as the monitor (taking advantage of "Cookdown" with SCOM authoring).

Part 3 - Add a diagnostic to the Monitor.

Part 4 - Add a recovery to the Monitor.

Stay tuned!

Let me know what you would like to see in future posts.
