Hi,
I have a question regarding the SCOM (2012/2007) heartbeat mechanism.
From what I know, The SCOM Management Server gets "I'm alive" signal from the monitored agent.
If the MS didn't get the signal 4 times in a raw, it sends the "health service down" message and checks ping with the monitored agent. It will send a message accordingally(MSG if down, No MSG if up).
My question is: The one who sends the ping check - s the MS, right?
If so, I have another question regarding a specific architecture(I tried to upload a photo but couldn't because my account needs to be verified):
2 Management servers
3 GW(1-3) servers that communicates with MS1
X agents under GW1
What happens when?: Agent1(A1) health service is down and his manager is GW1. Who sends the ping to A1, GW1 or MS1?
The way I see it - the one who sends the ping to A1 is MS1. If so, can I change it so the one who sends the ping will be GW1?
Thanks,
Yakir.
