Advanced Monitoring with System Center Operations Manager 2007 and System Center Virtual Machine Manager

This blog will now focus on advanced monitoring of heterogeneous data centers. This includes traditional physical servers, both Microsoft and non-Microsoft platforms. It will also include the virtual space, both Hyper-V as well as VMware. Lastly, it absolutely will include networking components!

Console Refresh Rates

When it comes to the Operations Console, the notion of refresh rate often is a popular topic. Just thought I'd recycle some bits:

Refresh settings are managed in the registry of the desktop client running the Operations Console:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Operations Manager\3.0\Console\CacheParameters\PollingInterval

    • 1 (Default ) – Normal polling interval (15 secs)
    • 2 (Double the normal  interval)
    • 10 (Max value) Anything above 10 will be treated as 10.
    • 0  Turn off polling

Some other points to consider, if your console has a very large number of objects, use the /clearcache switch to ensure you are not seeing any artifacts.

    1. Microsoft.MOM.UI.Console.exe /clearcache
    2. If you are launching the console via an RDP session do not use the /clearcache switch unless you are sure no one else is using the console at the same time.
