Do I have a problem?
• I’m getting alerts so everything works, right?
• It’s not me, it’s the users.• I have everything monitored so I have 360 monitoring
Phase 1:
Denial

Do I have a problem?
• Ok people are complaining that they get too many alerts when something happens…
• Ok I can’t pinpoint right away the issue…
• I might have room for improvement…
Phase 2: Recogniti
on

Do I have a problem?
• Hmmm how can I change the way SCOM works to get the users of my back?
• Maybe I can implement SLA’s and SLO’s to show management.
• That’s it! I’m ready for a change!
Phase 3: Acceptance
![Page 27: The path to become a SCOM Master Ready to take it to the next level? Cameron Dieter](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070611/5a4d1bb97f8b9ab0599cffc5/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
What do I get out of it?
• Find the relationships between objects
• Less alerts• Direct root cause analasys
• Happy users

Start small…
Rule 1: Start small
Rule 2: Keep asking questions
Rule 3: Never
believe “document
ation”
Rule 4: Test, test and test.

Phase 1: Get all the building blocks
Take your documentation and get all the components lined up and ready to go.
Check the health of the components
Check the monitoring of the components to avoid false positives
![Page 30: The path to become a SCOM Master Ready to take it to the next level? Cameron Dieter](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070611/5a4d1bb97f8b9ab0599cffc5/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Phase 2: Build the service DA
Create the distributed applicationCreate the object groupsFill the object groups with the objects
![Page 31: The path to become a SCOM Master Ready to take it to the next level? Cameron Dieter](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070611/5a4d1bb97f8b9ab0599cffc5/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Phase 3: Define the relationships
Check the relationships of the object groupsDefine the alert flow
Check your test scenario

Key takeaways
Don’t be afraid to try…There’s a solution for all monitoring scenariosCan’t find one? Build one!
It’s ok to combine other solutions.
