Using property bag approach will also make it easier to get the alert description to be more useful. Is this possible at all? HI ,

Try overriding the discoveries to speed up the process.

But I believe that, in this serie of posts, I have explained pretty well how to proceed if you want to roll your own...

I have 2 CentOS 5 servers. But I'm unable to get the MP for CentOS (5) not working. It only shows that it's alive but no server stats like, RAM/CPU/SWAP usage. :( So my questions is if you have for me a working MP for CentOS 5 that I can import into SCOM 2007 R2? Thanks in advance... Hi Daniele,

Ubuntu and all debian-based distro's are not supported. The package for Redhat installs on CentOS just fine (they are pretty similar) and modifying the MP is easy, os you can get that to work pretty easily. But for different distributions you would technically need to build your own agent "package" by grabbing OpenPegasus's code at http://www.openpegasus.org/ . I am not sure if the SCX_ providers have been open sourced, or not, and under which license. Not currently. Ubuntu and all debian-based distro's are not supported.

Do you have any experience with Ubuntu server? Does OpsMgr R2 discover Ubuntu server and install an OpsMgr Agent on it so - for instance - the Novell MP for Apache can discover and monitor Apache on an Ubuntu server? Hope to hear from you. Best regards, Marnix Hi Daniele.
