    Linux Log file monitoring
    System Center 1801 Operations Manager has enhanced log file monitoring capabilities as listed below -
    • Support for Wild Card characters in log file name and path
    • Support for new match patterns for customizable log search like simple match, exclusive match, correlated match, repeated correlation, and exclusive correlation
    • Support for generic Fluentd plugins published by the fluentd community.

    Linux Kerberos support
    System Center 1801 Operations Manager supports Kerberos authentication wherever the WS-Management protocol is used by the management server to communicate with UNIX and Linux computers, providing greater security by no longer needing to enable basic authentication for Windows Remote Management (WinRM).
