Integrating OpsMgr Non-Windows Devices
,Network management is not a new concept. Simple management of various network nodes has been handled for quite some time through the SNMP. Quite often, simple or even complex systems that use SNMP to provide for system monitoring are in place in an organization to provide for varying degrees of system management on a network.
OpsMgr can be configured to integrate with non-Windows systems through monitoring of syslog information, log file data, and SNMP traps. OpsMgr can also monitor TCP port communication and website transaction sequencing for information-specific data management.
New to OpsMgr 2007 R2 is the capability to monitor non-Microsoft operating systems such as Linux and UNIX, and the applications that run on them, such as Apache and MySQL. OpsMgr monitors the file systems, network interfaces, daemons, configurations, and performance metrics. Operations Manager 2007 R2 supports monitoring of the following operating systems:
• HP-UX 11i v2 and v3 (PA-RISC and IA64)
• Sun Solaris 8 and 9 (SPARC) and Solaris 10 (SPARC and x86)
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 (x86/x64) and 5 (x86/x64) Server
• Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 (x86) and 10 SP1 (x86/x64)
• IBM AIX v5.3 and v6.1
Note
The previous operating systems are first-class citizens in Microsoft’s parlance because they are treated as equals with the Windows operating systems. Agents can be pushed from the console, operations data is collected automatically, tasks can run against the agents, and all major functions are supported.
Special connectors can be created to provide bidirectional information flows to other management products. OpsMgr can monitor SNMP traps from SNMP-supported devices as well as generate SNMP traps to be delivered to third-party network management infrastructures.
