2 Agenda What s new in SCOM 2016 & futures (in 60 seconds or less) Introduction to OMS & what s new in OMS What does SCOM do well and what does OMS do well? SCOM & OMS: Better together Introducing some new Microsoft players to automation, monitoring & visualization Automatically Adapting : Integrating Automation and Monitoring

3 What s new in SCOM 2016 & Futures

4 In sixty seconds or less Release of SCOM 2016 Update Rollups, New MPs, Service Map in SCOM, updates aligning with SCCM Better with Unix/Linux HTML5 console, MP updates & recommendations See my Operations Manager (SCOM): Today & Tomorrow session for details

5 SCOM & OMS Community updates Books: Try Getting Started with Microsoft System Center Operations Manager by Kevin Greene Inside OMS v2! New PowerShell functionality go SquaredUp! Visualize Free tier usage Azure Virtual Machine inventory ACS Dashboard solution Kemp monitoring Server OS monitoring

6 Introduction to OMS & what s new in OMS

7 What is in OMS? Log analytics (Operational Insights) Backup & Recovery (Azure Backup & ASR) IT Automation (Azure Automation) Security & Compliance (Operational Insights) Effortless log collection Integrated fast search and queries with custom dashboard Integrated cloud backup Seamless disaster recovery and workload migration Hybrid runbook worker Graphical workbook authoring and automation DSC Malware assessment Security posture and system update assessment With OMS capabilities customers can Spot problems fast Protect data easily Automate tasks quick Recognize threat early extending System Center capabilities, as an all-in-one management solution!

8 The OMS Console is classic Classic = Dead App Walking Moving to the Azure portal Mobile under development

9 OMS Dashboarding in Azure Views in OMS can be pinned to the Azure Dashboard! Right-click, and choose Pin to Dashboard

10 Solution changes Solutions colors and tiles re-designed

11 New solutions Logic Apps Management (Preview) DNS Analytics (Preview) Update Compliance (Preview) Azure SQL Analytics (Preview) Azure Web Apps Analytics (Preview) Application Insights Connector (Preview) Device Health (Preview) Office 365 Analytics (Preview) Service Map (IE: BlueStripe in OMS) IT Service Management Connector Patching for Linux! Network Performance Monitor Upgrade Readiness (Win10) SCOM Assessment, Agent Health VMWare Analytics Containers Activity Log Analytics

12 Updated solutions Security & Audit Change Tracking: Added registry tracking, Linux File Tracking Wire Data 2.0

13 Integration with Azure OMS in Azure: View your OMS Workspace Run queries Set data retention periods And more! Azure Monitor Logs & Metrics

14 Integration with Azure Easily change retention Workspace data sources

15 DEMO Log Analytics Integration with Azure

16 OMS Platform Updates: The good OMS Gateway with SCOM support HTTP API! ITSM integration! View designer & Donut Multi Query Extended retention timeframes Solution targeting! Details here

17 OMS Platform Updates: The Bad & interesting The bad: OMS workspaces require Azure subscription The interesting: New-new pricing: Update management is free! Configuration Management is free is Azure!

18 Enter KQL/Kusto/The new query language for Log Analytics Power BI benefits! See Brian Wren s session: Advance Analytics in Azure

19 What does SCOM do well and what does OMS do well?

20 System Center in a Hybrid Cloud World Key concepts: Cloud does not change the requirement for management & monitoring Cloud changes the where and some of the how Increases complexity and need to monitor & manage workloads Hybrid monitoring realistically requires both SCOM & OMS Catapult whitepapers on these topics: The Road to the Cloud Is Operations Manager still relevant?

21 What does SCOM do well? SCOM monitors well using: Powerful (but not perfect) notification engine Solid on-prem monitoring with an existing & evolving management pack catalog Distributed Applications & Health models Integrated with a strong partner ecosystem Provides a great platform for custom management packs & dashboards (including third party ones) Works great for on-prem and Azure IaaS (anything you can put an agent on)

22 What does OMS do well? Analysis Pre-built solutions with minimal to no tuning Identifying conditions that SCOM does not Platform agnostic & integrated Unix/Linux as first class citizens Zabbix and Nagios integration Integrates well with SCOM Integrates well with Azure solutions

23 What does OMS do well? Retains data for up to two years Fast and extremely effective search (especially with Kusto) Visualization of data Including the ability to span multiple workspaces, multiple management groups Remember; Log Analytics are all about consuming data Top 10 tips to maximize the benefits of your Log Analytics workspace by minimizing non-required data

24 Bonus Tip for SCOM admins with OMS Your SCOM skills are extremely relevant in OMS They are built on the same technologies They both use management packs They both have the same agent/same event logs Change behavior through altering management packs and using overrides This of us who do not evolve our skillsets will become the technical equivalent of dinosaurs found only in the dusty virtual corners of search engine histories and in the bargain book bins.

25 SCOM & OMS: Better together in a Hybrid World

26 Monitoring in System Center Monitoring in Azure Monitoring in OMS Monitoring as a concept will exist, but it will evolve and change

27 Using SC(OM)S to monitor Hybrid environments SCOM can monitor things that OMS cannot and viceversa Solution specific benefits Alert Management Solution Agent Health Solution SCOM Assessment Solution Automated DA creation (Service Map) Additional benefits: External alerting Automation without supporting the platform Synthetic transactions

28 DEMO Monitoring non-iaas applications with OMS & Azure

29 Introducing the new players in automation, monitoring, and visualization

30 Flow Microsoft answer to lightweight workflow automation Ultra-mobile friendly Connect to 'Services' Automate Processes Multi-step Flow Conditions On or Off Prem Pre-Built Templates Mobile Friendly Easy Multiple Conditions! Log direct to Log Analytics!

31 Flow vs Azure Automation Flow Mobile Friendly Lightweight Built-In Integrations (Services) Azure Automation The '747' of the Automation World Unlimited potential Azure Integrated

32 Flow vs Logic Apps Flow Built on Logic Apps Self Service Business User Friendly Logic Apps VS Code View Mission Critical Ready

33 Power BI: Let your customers visualize their own data Take data from pretty much any place you want Excel, CSV, XML, Text, JSON, SharePoint folders, SQL, Access, SQL Server Analysis services, Oracle, IBM DB2, Azure SQL, Facebook, Github and more! Configuration Manager, Operations Manager sure! Log Analytics heck yeah! As a full first class citizen now! Carve it up and display it as you want Or Better yet let your end users carve it up! How? Power BI online ( Power BI Desktop (

34 DEMO Getting data from Log Analytics into PowerBI

35 Integrating Automation with Monitoring

36 A stroll down memory lane Welcome back to 2007 Chapter 20 of Unleashed book on the topic of Automatically Adapting We had Diagnostics & Recoveries & Scripts where would could automate things like Disk defragmentation Patch Management Disk Backups Antivirus Security threat response Provisioning and beyond We are getting closer!!

37 Automatically Adapting: Combining automation & monitoring Call an Azure Automation runbooks from SCOM: And don t forget the SquaredUp PowerShell integration! Using alerts to respond to conditions directly in OMS In OMS you can directly run runbooks In OMS we can even alert only during business hours Embracing this challenge in my day job: Automating IT Lifecycle Management

38 Summary SCOM isn t going anywhere & neither is OMS Use each where it makes sense Everything is going to Azure & the Azure portal If you are in Hybrid especially you should be using SC(OM)S How about some free stuff: If you aren t already using Log Analytics start working with it now! It s still free to try up to 500 MB which can be a good sized demo lab Need a patching solution? Try Log Analytics Update Management it s free as well!
