SharePoint Portal Server 2003 Management Pack for Operations Manager 2007

The SharePoint Portal Server 2003 Management Pack discovers and monitors a number of key components of SharePoint Portal Server 2003. These include the SharePoint Portal Server 2003 server role and related services in addition to Web sites and databases. This Management Pack monitors these components to report issues that cause downtime or poor performance.

These components are key building blocks for using the Distributed Application Designer to define a line-of-business application or a server farm running SharePoint Portal Server 2003. You can use the Distributed Application Designer to define not only the components of a line-of-business application or a server farm running SharePoint Portal Server 2003, but also their dependencies and relationships to each other.

The SharePoint Portal Server 2003 Management Pack is used with the Internet Information Services, SQL Server, Windows Server, and other Management Packs. For example, a server farm running SharePoint Portal Server 2003 consists of one or more roles for SharePoint Portal Server 2003 roles, Internet Information Services Web sites, SQL Server databases, and Windows logical hardware components.

You can use the Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2003 Management Pack with the Operations Manager 2007 Distributed Application Designer to define a line-of-business application or a server farm. Such line-of-business applications and server farms can consist of one or more Web sites, business-logic-related server roles and components, and databases.

The health state of each component can be rolled up to the overall health state of your line-of-business application. In addition to health monitoring capabilities this Management Pack includes dashboard views, extensive knowledge with embedded inline tasks, and views that enable near real-time diagnosis and resolution of detected issues.
