Hi All,
Is it possible to get SCOM to monitor if a job has returned some policy failures?
EG
I have a CMS setup for the EPM. A policy is created to check that a full backup has occured in the last 24 hours.
If there are 4 instances having this policy run against and 1 instance fails with some of the databases not being backed up in this time period is it possible to raise a single alert into SCOM with the instance and database which has failed ?
This is a bit of a vague request i know.
I know that the policies using this framework are "on demand" and that they do not raise an error if they fail so not sure how it can be done - I also know that if i create this policy/condition on each server then I can set up an alert to fire into the windows event log but then that defeats the point as I may as well have scom monitor for each individual job.
The point of this is to have a single alert raised with all the relevant details in it of the failures instead of being bombarded with hundreds of alerts (which ideally shouldn't happen but hey... not a perfect world :) )
Cheers,
Chris.
