EBOOK: Inside MSOMS v2

Version 2 of the Inside Operations Management Suite e-book is available for download here

A year has passed since the authors Pete Zerger, Tao Yang and Stanislav Zhelyazkov released their first version of “Inside OMS” book. I read the first version cover to cover and learned a lot about OMS when first adopted the service. A lot has changed to the platform over the last year and the new ebook covers all new features, except the new query language recently introduced.
If you are like me, passionate about monitoring, analytics and general Microsoft technology, i strongly recommend this e-book.

This is the updated release (v2.0) of “Inside the Microsoft Operations Management Suite”, an end-to-end deep dive into the full range of Microsoft Operations Management Suite (OMS) features and functionality, complete with downloadable sample scripts.

For the first time i will speak publicy outside Norway. I am travelling to Experts Live in Berlin.

I was lucky to be invited by SquaredUp to their SCOM community (and famous whisky Tasting) session. I’ll have a small contribution on how you can automate and integrate your operations manager environment with your modern application stack.
If you find SCOM interesting, come by and see a live demo on the SCOM Web API, Powershell management pack and other great community contributions.

SCOM 2016 migration – Transfer alert Ticket ID

Quick publish:

We are migrating a large SCOM environment to 2016 and the current 2012 environment have an integration with our ticketing system. As we want the migration as smooth as possible, updating the co-existing alerts with the already connected ticket ID seemed like a good idea.

All alerts with an assigned ticket that aren’t closed have a custom resolution state. Using Powershell I grabbed all alerts from SCOM 2012 and updated the same alerts in our 2016 environment.

Import-Module OperationsManager

#Connect to old SCOM environment
$OldEnv = New-SCOMManagementGroupConnection OldScomServer

#Get all alerts with custom resolution state, indicating a ticket is created
$Alerts = get-scomalert | where {$_.ResolutionState -eq 3}
#Connect to the new SCOM Environment.
$NewEnv = New-SCOMManagementGroupConnection NewSCOMServer

#Loop through the alert and set resolution state, ticket and custom field in the new environment
foreach ($Alert in $Alerts)
    {
    Get-ScomAlert | where {$_.Name -eq $Alert.Name -and $_.MonitoringObjectPath -eq $Alert.MonitoringObjectPath -and $_.ResolutionState -eq 0} | Set-SCOMAlert -ResolutionState 3 -CustomField4 "TEXT" -TicketID $Alert.TicketId
    }
#list updated alerts
Get-SCOMAlert -ResolutionState 3 | select Name, TicketID

As you see, we have a string in custom field 4, you can just remove this and change your resolution state to fit your environment.
