So after analyzing the MPs, I see there is a class for SharePoint 2013 Sites, why is there no discovery (no sites are discovered and I can't find any reference to the class in other discoveries across all SharePoint MPs) and why is the class abstract (see link below)?

Microsoft.SharePoint.2013.SPWebApplication.SPSite

Also in regards to the sites class, there is a unit monitor that looks at availability of the site.  Why is this there if no sites are discovered?

Furthermore, I would like to monitor Site Collection quotas.  However, I also noticed that no Site Collections are discovered.

So, should SP 2013 Sites be discovered and monitored?  Product team, in the future please include discoveries for these classes and monitors for these scenarios.

SCOM 2012 R2 UR5

MP versions:

Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2013 Core Library, Discovery, Monitoring - 15.0.4557.1000
Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013 Core Library, Discovery, Monitoring - 15.0.4557.1000

All pre-reqs seem to be satisfied as all views are populated (Run-As accounts etc.)

Config. file workflow section is populated as according to MP user guide:

<WorkflowCycle BaseStartTime="+300" Length="28800" Spacing="60">     <Workflow Id="WSSInstallation.Discovery" Type="Discovery" Times="1" />     <Workflow Id="MOSSInstallation.Discovery;WACInstallation.Discovery;SearchExpressInstallation.Discovery;SearchStandardInstallation.Discovery" MP="Microsoft.SharePoint.Server.2013" Type="Discovery" Times="1" />     <Workflow Id="SPFarm.Discovery" Type="Discovery" Times="1" />     <Workflow Id="SPService.Discovery" Type="Discovery" Times="4" />     <Workflow Id="SPSharedService.Discovery" Type="Discovery" Times="4" />     <Workflow Id="SPService.Discovery" MP="Microsoft.SharePoint.Server.2013" Type="Discovery" Times="4" />     <Workflow Id="SPSharedService.Discovery" MP="Microsoft.SharePoint.Server.2013" Type="Discovery" Times="4" />     <Workflow Id="SPSharedService.Discovery.WAC" MP="Microsoft.SharePoint.Server.2013" Type="Discovery" Times="4" />     <Workflow Id="SPHARule.Discovery" Type="Discovery" Times="1" />     <Workflow Id="SPHARuleMonitor.Availability;SPHARuleMonitor.Security;SPHARuleMonitor.Performance;SPHARuleMonitor.Configuration;SPHARuleMonitor.Custom" Type="Monitor" Times="8" />     <Workflow Id="SPHARuleMonitor.SPServer.Availability;SPHARuleMonitor.SPServer.Security;SPHARuleMonitor.SPServer.Performance;SPHARuleMonitor.SPServer.Configuration;SPHARuleMonitor.SPServer.Custom" Type="Monitor" Times="8" />   </WorkflowCycle>

Thanks for the response but that's not the answer.

After analyzing the discovery data sources and discoveries themselves what I've discovered is that there are no discoveries for SharePoint Site Collections nor sites.

Why the product team wouldn't include these in the MP is beyond me.  There are certainly monitoring scenarios for each that should be considered and included in the next release.
