In addition, there are special monitor types which can be enabled for URLs that require a client certificate or even for web sites that use forms-based authentication, a first for SCOM (to my knowledge)! The standard monitors all support the various types of http authentication: None, Basic, NTLM, Digest, and Negotiate.
This is significantly different than the Operations Manager standard Web Availability or Synthetic Transaction monitoring which will only alert on the rollup and contain no specific or useful alert context information.
Each individual monitor will alert with plenty of alert specific context information. There are standard monitors which target the http and https class types. *Please make note of the supported limit of URLs here. This is the most simple and scalable configuration. A decent place for the shared configuration folder is on management server or the data warehouse server with all watcher nodes configured with the same shared folder path. Typically the configuration files will be centrally located in a single shared network folder. There can exist any number of configuration files, each with any number of requests defined within.

Any managed Windows computer can be activated as a watcher node with a simple Console task during which the watcher nodes get configured with a path to where it should look for configuration files. The URL instances and their respective monitoring criteria get instantiated on any number of “watcher” nodes from one or more XML configuration files. With URLGenie you can easily configure monitoring for thousands of standard URL instances in less than a minute. The URL Genie Management Pack provides a fast and easy way to implement monitoring for a large numbers of URL instances from only a few instances up to many thousands! In addition there are some special features which allow monitoring sites which require client certificates in addition to pages that use forms-based authentication. I hope this management pack makes your life easier. See the MP guide for tutorials and load testing results. After no small amount of testing, I finally feel like it’s ready for the community to use. The hardest part was finding the time to build a lab in Azure, followed by load testing, followed by extensive documentation with tutorials. I have been slowly chipping away at my lengthy “to do” list for this pack only when my schedule would allow. This MP has been a work in progress for over 2 years (when this post was originally written in 2015). My MCS buddy, Boklyn, suggested WebMon. Although that solution is definitely streamlined, I needed to be able to post SOAP messages to web services using authentication in addition to testing forms-based logins. I was tired of using the slow and cumbersome (although complex and powerful) built-in Web Application Transaction Monitoring wizard and wanted something faster and easier. Without this excellent example, I would have never set out on this authoring journey.Ī few years ago I was working for a large eCommerce company and I was responsible for monitoring a very large number of sites. Let me start by first saying that I was inspired to start this project after dissecting a very cool solution by Kristopher Bash.
