Hi, I've got a couple of network boxes that don't do snmp, they do provide some performance statistics via a web page that comes off as an XML file. Using other monitoring tools (Nagios/Zenoss), I can parse these files and use the data for statistics, does SCOM/SCE have this capability? I've searched on this and drawn a blank so far. TIA

One could do it - but it is a complex undertaking involving writing a custom data source in XML, and having that data source output the correct translated data types (counter or event). A powershell script of a VBscript that uses the DOM would be able to make sense of the files. The script would have to make the web connnection. What kind of devices are they?Microsoft Corporation

Storage devices as I understand it there aren't any standardised MIB's for storage boxes hence why they don't support it. It could also be done by scraping a standard html web page but I'm guessing this is as difficult, any way of doing it from a telnet script, I think you can get to a basic CLI on them.

Hi, One way could be to use a script that reads the XML file and input it as performance data to Operations Manager, see http://contoso.se/blog/?p=213 for a example scriptAnders Bengtsson | Microsoft PFE | blog at http://www.contoso.se
