I have noticed that many monitors have the Generate alerts for this monitor checkbox checked, but then also have an override to set Enable Alerting to False (such as the Backup Status Monitor -- I definately want to know/get alerted if the Site Backup fails...)

So I am having to not only verify what monitors are enabled, but that they effectively still have alerting enabled for them...

Just wanted to point this out, as the MP Guide does not mention which monitors have alerting disabled...

Update on my earlier comment... I just noticed that the Aggregate Rollup monitors above the monitors I was mentioning have alerting enabled for them.  So alerts will be generated, and for those cases where there are multiple monitors that rollup to the aggregate monitor (Management Point availability, for example), you will only get the one alert from the aggregate monitor.  I suppose this was done to minimize the amount of alerts recieved.

My site server is shown a not monitored in SCOM 2012 SP1 console, can you please help me to resolve this. I have even manually done the site discovery and still site server is showing not discovered

Hi Kevin,

We have the Microsoft.SystemCenter2012.ConfigurationManager.SiteServer found in not monitored state in the Server state view under the SCCM 2012 folder. Any tips to make them healthy and monitored? Kindly assist.

I created the dashboard above in 2012 but can figure out how you were able to setup the service level widget.

Thanks Kevin for such a wonderful document. In the last part of your post, you have given snapshot of SCOM with Configuration Manager Service Level. Are "Configuration Manager SLO" predefined or is it something we can configure. If we can configure, what are the best practices to configure that?
