Setting up monitoring for an Enterprise Vault server

This section assumes that you have some familiarity with SCOM administration. See the SCOM documentation if you need help with using SCOM.

To set up monitoring:

  1. Use the SCOM management console to add the SCOM monitoring agent to the Enterprise Vault server so that the server is Agent Managed.

    Import the Enterprise Vault Management Pack, as follows:

    • On the Enterprise Vault server, start Windows Explorer and navigate to the SCOM subfolder of the Enterprise Vault program folder (normally C:\Program Files\Enterprise Vault\SCOM).

    • Start the SCOM management console.

    • Start the import wizard and import EnterpriseVault.xml. The wizard automatically converts the file to a MOM 2005 Backward Compatibility pack.

  2. Enable monitoring in the Enterprise Vault Administration Console, as follows:

    • In the left pane of the Administration Console, right-click the vault site and, on the shortcut menu, click Properties.

    • Click the Monitoring tab of Site Properties.

    • Select the items for which you want to receive notifications.

    • Click OK.

  3. In the SCOM management console, review the Enterprise Vault alerts and modify them as required.
