SCOM Monitoring Tool for SCOM Server Management and Applications Alerts
Extend SCOM capabilities to monitor third-party apps and devices
One interface for extended SCOM monitoring across heterogeneous IT infrastructure
SolarWinds® Server & Application Monitor (SAM) is built to extend the functionality of System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) to third-party and custom applications, VMware, and multi-vendor server hardware, all from one interface.
SAM’s SCOM management pack is designed to eliminate the need to buy and deploy multiple management packs from various vendors. By integrating SCOM with a more feature-rich server monitoring tool, you can extend the capabilities of Microsoft SCOM monitoring to include business-critical, non-Microsoft applications.
Out-of-the-box SCOM monitoring support
Adding SolarWinds SAM SCOM monitoring software to your environment can allow you to monitor your applications from one console without multiple management packs/add-ons.
SolarWinds SAM includes out-of-the-box templates for monitoring a range of non-Microsoft applications, including:
Help simplify your IT administration and troubleshooting by instantly viewing application health, performance metrics, dependent nodes, IP address, and more using the SCOM monitoring features in SAM.
Monitor virtually any custom and home-grown applications with easy-to-build templates
Creating custom application monitors in SCOM can be cumbersome and time-consuming. With the wizard included in SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor for SCOM server monitoring tool, it’s simple to create templates to monitor custom applications. You can also use the SAM custom app templates available for free from the SolarWinds THWACK® community.
SolarWinds SAM is also built to allow you to automatically discover and monitor performance metrics using WMI, SNMP, JMX, and VMware protocols. Once discovered, you can easily set baseline values for performance counters to receive custom alerts once a threshold reaches warning and critical levels.
In-depth SCOM monitoring of Microsoft applications
SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor is designed to provide in-depth monitoring for Microsoft systems. The integrated AppInsight™ applications in SAM are designed to help you troubleshoot and solve complex performance issues with purpose-built templates to monitor:
- Microsoft Exchange for storage issues, mail queues, events, and critical processes and services
- SQL Server for resource contention, database status and capacity, and inefficient queries
- IIS for website availability, resource consumption, and response time
Gain a detailed SCOM monitoring tool for servers and databases
SAM performance metrics and alerts are also designed to be integrated in the System Center management console for centralized insights into your server and data center performance monitoring.
Ensure you have the detailed data and custom alerts you need by using SolarWinds SAM for your SCOM monitoring. For even deeper IT infrastructure insights, you can leverage the same SolarWinds SCOM management pack to integrate System Center with SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor, NetFlow Traffic Analyzer, and Web Performance Monitor data for a comprehensive monitoring dashboard.

Do you find yourself asking…
SCOM monitoring is based on the Microsoft System Center Operations Manager (SCOM). SCOM is a suite of software used for monitoring, configuring, deploying, and managing the many components of a Windows-based IT infrastructure. SCOM is used by IT departments to monitor the performance and availability of applications, devices, and servers simultaneously, and display the findings on a single console.
SCOM monitoring provides information about the status of different aspects of your IT environment, such as:
- Computer health
- Antivirus software
- Operating systems
- Server hardware
- Applications
- Packet loss
- Latency
Administrators can configure which objects they want monitored and set the thresholds to trigger SCOM alerts, so you can discover issues as they arise.
While SCOM is a powerful tool, you may need to purchase and deploy many different SCOM management packs to monitor third-party applications and devices not from Microsoft. This means non-Microsoft technologies like Oracle, VMware, Citrix, and SAP require their own System Center management pack. The result is SCOM monitoring can become overly complicated as IT administrators try to navigate the many packs they need to purchase, manage, deploy, and maintain.
