Hi,



It would be great if we could establish that the FME Server system is stable and healthy using a SCOM Management Pack.

We are maintaining our servers, running critical systems, using Microsoft SCOM. For this, critical applications usually provide a SCOM, Management Packs (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh212794(v=sc.12).aspx)
to support this kind of maintainance. These management packs include
the "business logic" for the monitoring of the various monitoring
areas. Many default Management Packs are supplied by Microsoft and 3rd party
vendors, that can be used directly in SCOM.


Is it a good idea to develop such a SCOM management pack Question for FME Server? At the moment we consider building a custom setup that uses Windows Eventlog (which can be monitored by SCOM). For critical FME Workspaces that works OK since they can trigger a notification that results in writing a Windows Event. Trouble with that solution is that, for user jobs, we can not be sure the SCOM polling request is handled in time since the system load can vary.


This sounds more like an enhancement than a particular problem. I don't see any mention of this in our development database, so it doesn't look like it's on our radar right now. I suggest you file a request with our support team (safe.com/support) and file it as an idea on this site so that other users can vote for this functionality too.

Hope this helps. It does sound to me like a useful piece of functionality and well worth making a formal request for.
