VMware Management Pack Update Release (1.3.1679.0)

It is now 2020 and we are happy to announce a new update release this month of our VMware Management Pack for SCOM.

As we are constantly improving our Management Pack for VMware, we now have a new version (1.3.1679.0) available for download in our customer download area.

New

• You can now monitor all Hosts services at top level per host. This way you save SCOM resources and still get notified when a host service is unhealthy. Use the override smallset = true for the discovery and monitor to enable this.
• Added: Hardware storage monitoring will now include the sensors for drive faults , predictive failures , parity checks , disk array movement , rebuild states.

Fixed

• Various performance improvements in the SCOM MP modules.

Changed

• NOTICE !!! >>> The network NIC monitoring is now by default disabled. Please use the enable override to activate.
• NOTICE !!! >>> Before importing this release remove the "OpsLogix IMP - VMware Configuration Dashboard" management pack.
• NOTICE !!! >>> Before importing this release remove the "OpsLogix IMP - VMware Full Monitoring Groups" management pack. This will reset the members in group "VMware VM Enable Full Performance Collections".

Note
