Can SCOM monitor a RSS feed and act on new item/entry in the feed? For example, notify someone about the new entry. I understand, why not use a RSS reader? Would be nice to have an RSS reader that notifies via email or txt message that there are 10 new entries.

Can scom monitor an RSS feed out of the box? no, it can moniotor an RSS feed out of the box, unless you create an MP/Script/Datasource and monitor to do so. (It is not as cut and dry as creating an MP/Script/Datasource and monitor but...) Operations Manager can however, send alerts to an RSS feed, but that is a different story all together. hope this helps you on your way!Scott Moss MVP (Operations Manager) | President - System Center Virtual Users Group | Vice President - Atlanta Southeast Management Users Group (ATL SMUG) Please remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you!
