SCOM 1801 REST API Interfaces

For many years SCOM have delivered state of the art infrastructure monitoring. The platform itself is very flexible, but it has lacked an easy integration interface. This has now changed.

SCOM UnOfficial REST API

A year ago we needed an easier way to integrate monitoring data with non Microsoft products customer portals, CMDB etc. Some of these systems also needed the ability to trigger maintenance mode and create maintenance schedules. As an internal project with a very steep learning curve I started on a SCOM Web API. In May 2017 everyone on the Internet could see how poorly I knew C# as I pushed the whole project to GitHub (First commit).

Latest version now supports many new features and a lot of code changes.

 

SCOM Official REST API

As I follow Microsoft’s monitoring space closely I was very surprised when Jasper VanDamme started talking about a official SCOM REST API released with SCOM 1801. This was something never seen (by me) in the release notes and not talked about at all. If we had got this news when 1801 first announced I believe people had seen it as one of the big news along side HTML5 dashboards, which I understand is why the API now exists.

Being very passionate about SCOM and it’s possibilities despite being an old dinosaur, I feel this official API can open doors for many non SCOM admins creating very cool solutions. I was hoping this could happen to the one I created (and to some extent it have) but now we have a officialy backed SCOM API which is consistent and professional in every corner – future looks promising.

Remarks

When I find the time to upgrade my labs to 1801 I will write a blog post dedicated to the new API. Please let me know if you have developed anything cool using either of the API’s available. I’m happy to check it out and provide feedback.
