Single answer, multiple-choice
You are working in a System Center Operations Manager 2007 environment. You have deployed a Root Management Server, a Microsoft SQL Server 2005 database server and a Management Server on the network.
When you attempt to run a custom application on the SQL Server 2005 database server, you receive an error message related to the application. You want the error reports created on the Microsoft SQL Server to be sent to the Operations Manager 2007 Management Server. What should you do?
A. Configure an agent to act as a watcher node.
B. Configure Agentless Exception Monitoring (AEM).
C. Use the Windows Service template to generate a synthetic transaction.
D. Create an OLE DB Data Source monitoring synthetic transaction.
Answer:
B
Tutorial:
You should configure AEM to accomplish the objective in this scenario. AEM is used to monitor the operating system and application errors within a network environment. AEM is used in scenarios when you want the error reports created on Microsoft applications to be sent to the Operations Manager 2007 Management Server. After the report is sent to the Management Server, Operations Manager 2007 will display views and reports on the error data. AEM can be accessed in Operations Manager 2007 by navigating to Operations Console > Monitoring Pane > Agentless Exception Monitoring.
You should not create an OLE DB Data Source monitoring synthetic transaction to accomplish the objective in this scenario. The OLE DB Data Source template is used in System Center Operations Manager 2007 to generate a synthetic transaction to monitor the availability of databases. This template is used in System Center Operations Manager 2007 when you want to check the availability of databases or to monitor databases required by the company users. For example, if servers in your company communicate with the SQL Server database server, the OLE DB Data Source template can be used to check the availability of databases in the event that the SQL Server database fails.
You should not use the Windows Service template to generate a synthetic transaction. The Windows Service Management Pack template is used to monitor the availability of services related to Windows.
You should not configure an agent to act as a watcher node to accomplish the objective in this scenario. Watcher nodes are selected when a synthetic transaction is created. Watcher nodes are created to perform the actions of a synthetic transaction. For example, if you want to query a database or connect to a Web site, you can assign an agent to act as a watcher node. You can also perform a comparison of data to check performance by designating more than one watcher node.
