System Center 2012 Monitoring Pack for RemoteAccess 2012

SystemCenter2012

 

 

Recientemente hablamos sobre el nuevo Management Pack que permitía monitorear Hosts Hyper-V en Windows 2012, ahora es el turno del RemoteAccess 2012, este MP es el que nos permite monitorear el rol de Remote Access en servidores WS 2012

Les comparto parte de la documentación donde se muestran las opciones del monitoreo.

DirectAccess Monitoring

  • Issues with internal and external network adapter connection and settings such as forwarding
  • Teredo server state and configuration
  • Isatap availability and configuration such as name publishing and route publishing
  • 6to4 adapter and forwarding state
  • Heuristics around network security such as DOS attack, spoof attack and replay attack and state of IPSec
  • State of network infrastructure like Dns servers, Management servers configured for DirectAccess
  • IP-Https state and configuration
  • State of various underlying services such as BFE, IPHelper etc needed for Remote Access
  • Heuristics related to OTP

Most of the health monitoring scenarios that can be monitored using the native DirectAccess UI have been included in the management pack.

VPN Monitoring

Existing capabilities for RRAS management pack have been included in the unified management pack as well. We’ll summarize the monitoring capabilities for RRAS included in the unified management pack:

  • Remote access (VPN) connection failures due to erroneous configuration.
  • Demand-dial (site-to-site) connection failures due to erroneous configuration.
  • Erroneous configuration of VPN tunnels:
  • Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP)
  • Layer Two Tunneling Protocol (L2TP/IPSec)
  • Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol (SSTP)
  • Internet Key Exchange version 2 (IKEv2)
  • Connection licenses, registry corruption, authentication, and accounting issues for remote access
  • VPN network access protection (NAP) enforcement and Network Access Quarantine Control access issues
  • Erroneous configuration and setup issues involved with various routing protocols that are exposed through RRAS, such as the following:
  • Routing Information Protocol (RIP) v1 and v2
  • DHCP Relay Agent
  • Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP)
  • DHCPv6 Relay Agent
    • Monitors and alarms to notify the administrator about erroneous conditions. These conditions include the following:
    • Hardware device error
    • Protocol initialization failure
    • Remote Access Connection Manager (RASMAN) service unexpected termination
    • Routing and Remote Access service unexpected termination
    • Routing and Remote Access service monitor
    • Authentication or accounting failures
    • Configuration failures
    • IPsec-related failures
    • Packet filter-related failure
    • IPCP negotiation failure
    • Memory allocation monitor
    • Memory allocation failure
    • No more licenses monitor
    • Port open failures
      • Support for monitoring performance counters and instrumentation, including the following:
      • Total number of remote access connections
      • Total number of timeout and serial overrun errors for this connection
      • Total number of alignment errors for this connection (alignment errors occur when a byte received is different from the byte expected)
      • Total number of buffer overrun errors for this connection (buffer overrun errors occur when the software cannot handle the rate at which data is received)
      • Total number of bytes received for this connection
      • Number of bytes received per second
      • Total number of bytes transmitted for this connection
      • Number of bytes transmitted per second
      • Total number of cyclic redundancy check (CRC) errors for this connection (CRC errors occur when the frame received contains erroneous data)
      • Total number of data frames received for this connection
      • Number of frames received per second.

OM001: Instalando pre-requisitos para Operations Manager 2012 SP1

SystemCenter2012

Hola Amigos, esta serie de Post vamos a desarrollarlos sobre System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) para los amigos 😉 vamos a relizar lo mismo que realizamos en los post sobre VMM, ver los pasos de la instalación y luego ir configurando el producto.

Para instalar Operations Manager 2012 SP1 debemos cumplir algunos pre-requisitos de software, los mismos van a depender de que roles vayamos a instalar y son los siguientes:

Management Server

  • Sistema Operativo: 2008 R2 SP1, 2012 o 2012 Core
  • PowerShell 2.0 o 3.0
  • WMI habilitado
  • .NET 4.0

Operations Console

  • Microsoft Reprot Viewer 2010
  • Sistema Operativo: Windows 7, Windows 8, 2008 R2 SP1, 2012
  • Windows Installer 3.1 o superior
  • PowerShell 2.0 o 3.0
  • .NET 4.0

Web Console

  • Sistema Operativo: 2008 R2 SP1, 2012 o 2012 Core
  • Web browser IE8, IE9, IE10 con Silverlight 5.0
  • IIS 7.5 o superior con los siguientes role services instalados:
    • Static Content
    • Default Document
    • Directory Browsing
    • HTTP Errors
    • HTTP Logging
    • Request Monitor
    • Request Filtering
    • Static Content Compression
    • Web Server (IIS) Support
    • IIS 6 Metabase Compatibility
    • ASP.NET (both the 2.0 and 4.0 versions of ASP.Net are required.)
    • Windows Authentication
  • .NET 4.0

Operational Database

  • Sistema Operativo: 2008 R2 SP1, 2012 o 2012 Core
  • Windows Installer 3.1 o superior
  • Microsoft SQL Server: SQL Server SQL 2008 R2 SP1, SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2, SQL Server 2012, SQL Server 2012 SP1.
  • SQL Server Full Text Search is required.
  • .NET 4.0

 Reporting Server

  • Sistema Operativo: 2008 R2 SP1, 2012 o 2012 Core
  • Microsoft SQL Server: SQL Server SQL 2008 R2 SP1, SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2,
  • Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services: SQL Server SQL 2008 R2 SP1, SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2, SQL Server 2012, SQL Server 2012 SP1.
  • .NET 4.0

En este caso vamos a instalar todos los roles en un mismo servidor, con lo cual vamos a tener que satisfacer todos los pre-requisitos, vamos a utilizar un Servidor W2012 y SQL Server 2012, también la instalación del mismo es la misma que utilizamos para la instalación de los pre-requisitos de VMM, solo que en este caso también seleccionaremos el rol de Reporting Services. como se ve en la siguiente captura:

SQL_SCOM01

También instalaremos Microsoft ReportViewer 2010, esto deberemos de instalarlo en las pcs que usemos de consolas, es una instalación muy simple como se ve en las siguientes capturas:

REPORTVIEWER01 REPORTVIEWER02 REPORTVIEWER03

Una vez concluido esto iniciaremos la instalación de Operations Manager como veremos en el siguiente Post.
