help Microsoft System Center Operations Manager FAQ
What does Microsoft System Center Operations Manager monitor?
System Center Operations Manager, or SCOM, monitors servers, applications, operating systems, and networked infrastructure. It collects performance and health data so administrators can investigate failures and availability problems.
How does SCOM collect monitoring data?
SCOM commonly uses agents installed on monitored computers, together with management packs that define what to monitor and how to interpret it. It can also use agentless or specialized monitoring methods for selected devices and services.
What are SCOM management packs used for?
A management pack contains monitoring rules, discoveries, reports, and alert logic for a particular platform or application. For example, an organization can use management packs to monitor Windows Server, SQL Server, or other supported workloads.
Is SCOM the same product as Azure Monitor?
