I just started at a company where we have to monitoring systems. My group does not own SCOM, so I have limited access to it currently. I understand I may need full access to it and the authoring tab, which I may have to request.I've been asked to audit what rules/alerts/monitors we have on all systems we have between SCOM and SiteScope, our other monitoring system. We want to shore up any gaps we have in monitoring, remove redundancy, and perhaps consolidate everything to SCOM.What is the best way to see every rule I have for a given system? Can I export the alerts into a .csv file or anything?Thanks!

Hi ThereThere are two main ways to see what is happening on a server.Firstly you can use the effective config viewer, its is a really good help for looking at rules and monitors in a GUI format.http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=A9DB4DCA-6716-478D-89B9-42F27EBC76A8&displaylang=enYou can also look at your management packs and what discoveries and rules are being applied with the MP viewerhttp://blogs.msdn.com/boris_yanushpolsky/archive/2008/06/25/mpviewer-1-7-now-works-with-latest-e12-mp.aspxAnd in the ops console, in the operations manager mp there is a task called "show running rules and monitors", it is the job!Let me know if I can expalin any furtherPaulPaul Keely

Hello. Paul pretty much lays it out. The Effective Configuration Viewer is a great tool, but many of us have found it to be not as reliable as it used to be. I'm not sure why that is, but it has come up on the forums.The Show Running Rules and Monitors for this Health Service task is good, but you see many duplicates for things that are inherited from other classes. One problem I have with all these tools is that none of them show you the thresholds, which is usually what people want to know. It's great we can show them pretty easily what is being monitored, but not "how" they are being monitored. Perhaps there are 3rd party products that can do this? MP Studio maybe?Good luck,Layne

Hi.Effective Config Viewer does not run well at all on SCOM R2. So please keep this in mindBest regards, Marnix Wolf (Thoughts on OpsMgr)

Current versions of MPViewer can be found here, and has various fixes and improvements over Boris's original version that I "inherited" http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dmuscett/archive/2012/02/19/boris-s-tools-updated.aspx
