SCOM Managed Instance

Microsoft

SCOM Managed Instance enables System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) capabilities in Azure, simplifies management of SCOM infrastructure, and enables the common set of Azure Monitor tools for correlation, analysis, visualization and response to the collected telemetry with SCOM MI or other data sources supported in Azure Monitor. SCOM MPs for Core OS (Windows), SQL Server, Oracle, Exchange, SharePoint, and the different Windows roles are supported on SCOM MI. Moving a SCOM setup to SCOM MI leverages cloud advantages and cuts down the total ownership cost (including infrastructure, software, and operational expenses) by as much as 30% over a multi-year period

Key Benefits and Value additions

Azure-based lifecycle management of the System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) setup, including deployment, updating, and decommissioning
  • Hands off maintenance of the SCOM instance, including the databases, management servers, and SCOM updates
  • Get informed about the latest available SCOM updates and one-click experience to patch their instances
  • Simple Azure-based capability to adjust (scale) the SCOM setup based on the number of endpoints to monitor. Add/Remove SCOM management servers without updating the agents
  • [In preview] Manage the agent deployment on monitored servers using the Azure control plane through VM extensions
  • [In preview] Simplify management of SCOM gateway servers on Arc-enabled machines via VM Extensions, and Azure managed identities instead of certificates
Integrated experience to interpret and respond to data collected with SCOM MI & other sources supported by Azure Monitor
  • View all SCOM alerts with Azure Monitor alerts and use all capabilities to respond to alerts (including those with ITSM tools such as ServiceNow)
  • Integrate SCOM events data in an LA workspace to get a system-wide view and deeper insights by looking across data from different data sources
  • Modern Power BI reporting, replacing the SCOM data warehouse and the SSRS deployments
  • [In preview] Advanced dashboarding and analysis using Azure Workbooks and Azure Managed Grafana
Consistent experiences for monitoring workloads on Azure and off Azure
  • Monitor all your workloads by using the same SCOM MPs that are used for on-prem monitoring with SCOM. With SCOM MI, all Windows-based 1P MPs are supported along with other popular MPs like M365, AzureMP, Cert-based monitoring MP among others
  • For monitoring off-Azure workloads (enabled via Azure Arc), utilize SCOM MI and get an identical monitoring experience as you will get for your Azure and on-prem workloads
