Open Text Content Server Monitoring Agent 5.0 with SCOM using SNMP

 Hi All

Got a requirement to integrate Opentext monitoring agent with SCOM 2012.

Can we use SNMP to forward the alerts to SCOM console ? or can we directly monitor opentext content server with some MP's ?

Regards

Madhavi.

Hi Madhavi!

Never seen a MP for that.

Yep, you can receive traps from any system as long as you have discovered it as a network device. With that being said: that is not possible with Windows computers. If the application is running on a Windows OS you have to chose another way like writting to the event log and get it from there.

 Thanks Patrick

 The application is running on windows computer . We have MIB file for this application along with OID. Is it possible to configure for SNMP traps.

As this is a windows machine , unable to discover as network device.

That's the point. You cannot discover Windows Computers as Network Devices with SCOM 2012. So sending traps (directly) to SCOM is not possible.

You can think about a workaround like writing the events to the Windows Event Log and grab them with an Event Log Rule/Monitor. Or send the traps to System Center Orchestrator and write an Alert using the SCOM Integration Pack.
