ActiveBatch Management Pack for System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2
IT Operational Groups require the ability to monitor the essential business processes
and procedures that ensure that all components in the organization's environment
on which their company relies are healthy. More and more, IT Operations Management
are relying on Microsoft's Systems Center Operations Manager 2007 R2 (SCOM) for
improving service levels by being able to identify and resolve issues in near real
time that can affect the health of their systems and applications.
The ActiveBatch® Management Pack for Systems Center Operations Manager 2007
R2 allows IT Operations staff to centrally monitor the performance and health of
the ActiveBatch Job Scheduler, Windows, UNIX and Linux Execution Agents and other
ActiveBatch Objects such as Jobs, Job Plans, etc with other important IT systems
and components. When an alert is raised for an ActiveBatch Job Scheduler or Execution
Agent service or a "tagged" object, timely alerts are raised that direct IT Operations
members to the SCOM console where detailed information is available for the rapid
resolution of issues that affect the health of your environment.
The ActiveBatch Management Pack performs comprehensive monitoring, along with other
important systems from a centralized console, with greater efficiency and fewer
dedicated personnel focused on key issues like:
- Are all ActiveBatch services running?
- Are targeted ActiveBatch Objects such as Jobs and Job Plans "active and available"?
- Are ActiveBatch systems in "maintenance mode" or are they available?
- Is ActiveBatch performing efficiently and reliably?
- Are Jobs and Job Plans succeeding?
- What is the success rate of jobs and plans that have finished?
- What ActiveBatch configuration changes (patches, hotfixes and/or updates etc.) were
applied to the Job Scheduler and Execution Agent machines?
- What is the uptime of the Job Scheduler and Execution Agents?
