 | System Center 2016 Management Pack for UNIX and Linux Operating Systems |
The Management Packs for UNIX and Linux Operating Systems enable discovering, monitoring, and managing UNIX and Linux computers with System Center Operations Manager.
SCOM 2016 has been updated to utilize a key-size of 3072 for communication with Linux workloads monitored by SCOM. This enhancement aligns SCOM 2016 with modern cryptographic standards, enhancing the security posture of communication channels between SCOM and monitored Linux systems and ensure compatibility with Linux agent >=1.9.0-0.
It's essential to apply this hotfix in addition to updating Linux/Unix MPs.
The UNIX and Linux Operating Systems Management Packs enable discovering, monitoring, and managing UNIX and Linux computers with System Center 2016 Operations Manager. They provide both proactive and reactive monitoring of UNIX and Linux operating systems. The management packs monitor components such as processes, resources, and server agents. The monitoring provided by the management packs includes availability and configuration monitoring, performance data collection, and default thresholds. You can integrate the monitoring of UNIX and Linux components into your service-oriented monitoring scenarios. In addition to health monitoring capabilities, the management packs include reports, diagnostics, tasks, and views that enable near real-time diagnosis and resolution of detected issues. The management packs also enable the installation of the Audit Collection Services for UNIX/Linux Management Packs.
