Integrating 3rd party tools with MOM |
|
|
Hi
To begin I should state I am a complete MOM novice.
I have been asked by a client to integrate a 3rd party product with MOM. The
client wishes to view alerts generated by the 3rd party product in MOM. This
3rd party product is capable of running scripts and sending email when it
generates an alert.
Can someone give me some guidance as to the capabilities of MOM taking input
from 3rd party products?
Is there a programmable or scripting API? Does it support SNMP? All
suggestions would be appreciated.
Regards, John |

There is an SDK for this and it's called the MOM Connector Framework (MCF).
It's part of the MOM SDK at
http://www.microsoft.com/mom/downloads/sdk/default.mspx

John,
the simplest way of doing this is to avoid the MOM SDK
altogether and get your 3rd Party Product to write to the
windows event log on a box with a MOM agent - you can
then write MOM rules to process the events. You can use
any means of writing to the event log such
as "logevent.exe" , WMI, VBScript etc - it just depends
on the level of sophistication you need. The challenge is
to make your third party events easily identifiable,
granular and meaningful.
MOM can receive SNMP traps (via what it refers to as a
provider) but it isn't pretty to set up from scratch.
The new API for MOM 2005 is .NET based and is quite
powerful but might well be overkill for your needs -
particularly if you only need one-way flow.
Regards,
Mark
