Microsoft Ignite in Orlando has started, already on day one we got a lot of announcements and new features. In this post I will try to keep track of the updates on regarding monitoring and management. SCOM, OMS, Azure monitor etc.
### Microsoft Operations Management Suite, Log Analytics, Azure Monitor

- [Azure Security Center for hybrid cloud.](https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/msoms/2017/09/25/oms-customers-can-now-use-azure-security-center-to-protect-their-hybrid-cloud-workloads/)
- [Azure Monitor, near real-time alerts](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/revamped-solutions-in-azure-for-application-and-infrastructure-monitoring/)
- [New container monitoring solution](https://docs.microsoft.com/nb-no/azure/log-analytics/log-analytics-containers)
- [Using Log Analytics query across multiple workspaces](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/revamped-solutions-in-azure-for-application-and-infrastructure-monitoring/)
- The OMS portal as we know it will be deprecated and everything integrated in to the Azure portal.

### System Center Operations Manager
From the session “System Center : First look at advancements coming this year” held 26.09 we got the following annoucements regarding SCOM.

- New release cadence.
- 

System Center 1801 prieview early November. Release Q1 2018

- Service Map integration
- Windows Server 2016 SDDC monitoring
- Improved Unix/Linux support
- 

“setup improvements” hopefully a better way to deploy “manually”
- Kerberos support
- Log file monitoring with FluentD. Essentially this enables us to create monitors etc. based on logfiles as we can with Windows

- SCOM 2016 HTML5 console
- 

Improved diagnostics and drill down – this is huge for those who haven’t invested in third-party software
- Custom widget support. Display other charts on your dashboard.
