Comment on scom web application monitoring – making it useful – part 1 by P-AU

Hi, thanks for the article !
When it comes to have an alert after, say, 3 “over the threshold” response time, wouldn’t it be possible to implement the alert using the corresponding rule ? I mean, if you have a web app that your testing the access to, you’ll have a performance rule that will store the different response times. What if we create an alerte based on this rule and stating “alert me when the rule is over the threshold 3 times in a row” ????
Thanks in advance for your answer

Thx mate. Couldn’t agree more in terms of the frustration with this.
Some helpful points in this article.
Have u messed with setting up Authentication (Run As) accounts and using proxies etc? I can find no information on that. and I get inconsistent results when using the TEST button in the wizard. ie sometimes the test works and sometimes it errors. sometimes it depends on which watcher I use and the Proxy settings on the Watcher Node if I am logged in as the Opsmgr-Server action account (Which I assume is what the Agent is using to test the connection on the remote website).

In the early 70′s I visited the site not knowing what it was while riding motorcycle. It was blocked with a chain which was down so I rode in. I must have missed the no trespassing signs! First was a large tin building on the rightlike a hanger, with what I thought at the time was a very large parking lot. Tools were still lying around. A hammer wrench ect. Off to one side of the ‘parking lot’ was a at least 2 or 3 story yellow building with very thick walls. The building looked as it had been shelled. All of this was on the top of the hill.
On down the road I came to an area that looked to have lookout towers, it was starting to freak me out a mite, by this time I knew I probably wasn’t to be there. A little on down the road was an opening large enough to drive a truck in going under ground. On signs anywhere. I shined my headlight in and could see the entrance went down hill and was flooded. I later learned this was the reactor site and water from the Etowah River was used for cooling.
there were also tunnels large enough to drive a small car through running underground from the top of the hill to the reactor site. Today little can be seen, but I still can find the reactor site and I doubt if the yellow building was destroyed.
