Dynamic Discovery using SCOM 2007

    Dynamic Discovery using SCOM 2007

    I have created a distributed application in SCOM 2007. The view in Distributed Application Designer contains 3 logical components i.e. Website, Webservice and Database. Since I have pre configured few managed servers, I could see the list of objects identified by standard discovery rules provided by IIS, SQL Server Management Pack in the Objects Box in Distributed Application Designer view. I have manually dragged and dropped website, webservice and database in their logical component to complete my design. I was then able to monitor health of the entire system.

    The above approach is good for limited managed server. But what I have is thousands of server. It is tedious to drag drop each component to its logical component. Is there are way in which we can dynamically associate objects of type website to website component, database to database component and webservice to webservice component. The discovery of database can be as simple as existence of particular database e.g. AdventureWorks on managed server. If yes, what all I need to do. If there is any tutorials or any documentation then please let me know. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    That's something I don't have a great answer for right off. I'll look at this problem in the lab over the weekend and get back to you.

    Yes, I had a thought here. Add a component group to your DA model, and select Groups as the object type, and then drag your desired group into the component group.

     Does that make sense? It allows you to embed the group in the DA, and since the groups from the MS are dynamic and have a health state based on the health of their collective membership, which meets all your criteria I believe.
