System Center
Monitor Anything
- PowerShell to SCOM in seconds.
- Drag and drop script creation.
- Publish data to any WMI-aware application.
- No programming required.
- Push data to multiple monitoring solutions.
Although Microsoft System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) is designed to provide end-to-end service management, it is only as good as the data it collects. Systems that don’t report metrics to SCOM are blind spots in your IT infrastructure management that can lead to downtime. Microsoft and ISV’s provide SCOM management packs for well known applications, but if your application is home-grown, lacks market share, or existing management packs are insufficient, there were few options. Before PowerWF, building custom management packs was costly and error prone; it required a deep knowledge of the application, Windows Management Instrumentation, SCOM data and process models.
PowerWF greatly simplifies this process:
- Eliminates the need to write code
- Provides prebuilt WMI and SCOM integration.
- Automatically creates management packs
- Schedule data collection using PowerWF’s Agent
PowerWF lets you think about WHAT you want to accomplish instead of thinking about HOW to accomplish it. Simply drag-and-drop the desired activities to create a workflow that represents your process and business logic.
Acts like PowerShell
– Looks like workflow
- Workflows are easy to explain to non-programmers.
- Integrated help lets you create workflows from PowerShell samples.
- Wizards simplify parameterization and deployment.
- Interpret PowerShell scripts or directly execute PowerShell.
