Squared Up is set to release the version 3 of their dashboard next week at Ignite North America. One of the key features in the v3 release is called the "Visual Application Discovery & Analysis" (aka VADA).
VADA utilise OpsMgr agent tasks and netstat.exe command to discover the other TCP/IP endpoints the agents are communicating to. You can learn more about this feature from a short YouTube video Squared Up has published recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJK_3SritwY
I was given a trail copy of v3 for my lab. After I've installed it and imported the required management pack, I was able to start discovering the endpoints that are communicating to my OpsMgr agents in the matter of few clicks:
As we all know, natively, OpsMgr is lacking the capability of automatically Distributed Application discovery, customers used to integrate 3rd party applications such as BlueStripe FactFinder with OpsMgr for this capability. However, now that BlueStripe has been acquired by Microsoft and it's being fitted under the OMS banner as the Application Dependency Monitor solution (ADM), customers can no longer purchase it for OpsMgr. It is good to see that Squared Up has released something with similar capabilities because at this very moment, it seems to be a gap in the OpsMgr space.
Having said that, I don't think the OMS ADM solution is too far away from the public preview release.
One of the biggest differences I can see (after spending couple of hours on Squared Up V3), is that Squared Up VADA collects ad-hoc data at the time VADA is launched (which triggers the agent ask), whereas OMS ADM has it's own agents and it is collecting data continuously.
Additionally, looks like Squared Up VADA only supports Windows agents at this stage and OMS ADM will also support Linux agents.
At this stage, since we don't know if BlueStripe will be made available to OpsMgr in the future, and Squared Up is releasing this awesome addition to their already-popular OpsMgr web console / dashboard product, why not give it a try and see what you can produce? I guess since the data collection is ad-hoc, it will make more sense to start the discovery in VADA during peak hours when the system is fully loaded and each components are actively communicating to each other, so you don't miss any components.
Lastly, if you are going to attend Ignite NA next week and want to learn more about this new feature in Squared Up V3, please make sure you go find them at their booth.
Recently I have started using a private MyGet feed and my cPowerShellPackageManagement DSC Resource module to manage PowerShell modules on my lab servers.
When new modules are released in PowerShell Gallery (i.e. all the Azure modules), I'd normally use Install-Module to install on test machines, then publish the tested modules to my MyGet feed and then my servers would pick up the new modules.
Although I can use public-module cmdlet to upload the module located locally on my PC to MyGet feed, it can be really time consuming when the module sizes are big (i.e. some of the Azure modules). It only took me few minutes to figure out how do I push modules directly from PowerShell Gallery (or any NuGet feeds) to my MyGet feed.
To configure it, Under the MyGet feed, go to "Package Sources", and click "Add package source…"
Then choose NuGet feed, fill out name and source
Name: PowerShellGallery
Source: https://www.powershellgallery.com/api/v2/
Once added, I can search PowerShell Gallery and add packages directly to MyGet.
There are few ways to add PowerShell modules to Azure Automation accounts:
1. Via the Azure Portal by uploading the module zip file from local computer.
2. If the module is located in PowerShell Gallery, you can push it to your Automation Account directly from PowerShell Gallery.
3. Use PowerShell cmdlet New-AzureRmAutomationModule from the AzureRM.Automation module.
One of the limitation of using New-AzureRMAutomationModule cmdlet is, the module must be zipped and located somewhere online that Azure has access to. You will need to specify the location by using the –ContentLink parameter. In the past, in order to script the module deployment, even when the module is located in PowerShell Gallery, I had to save the module to a place where my Automation Account has access to (such as an Azure blob storage, or creating a release in a public Github repo).
Tonight, I was writing a script and I wanted to see if I can deploy modules to my Automation Account directly from a package repository of my choice – other than PowerShell Gallery, I also have a private MyGet feed that I use for storing my PowerShell modules.
It turned out to be really easy to do so, only took me few minutes to figure out how. I'll use a module I wrote in the past called "SendEmail" as an example. It is published in both PowerShell Gallery, and my private MyGet feed.
Importing from PowerShell Gallery
the URL for this module in PowerShell Gallery is: https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/SendEmail/1.3
The –ContentLink URI that we need to pass to the Add-AzureRmAutomationModule cmdlet would be:
As you can see, all you need to do is to add "api/v2/" in the URI. The PowerShell command would be something like this:
New-AzureRmAutomationModule -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName -AutomationAccountName $AutomationAccountName -Name 'SendEmail' -ContentLink 'https://www.powershellgallery.com/api/v2/package/SendEmail/1.3'
Importing from a private MyGet feed
For a private MyGet feed, you can access it by embedding the API key into the URL:
The URL for my module would be: "http://www.myget.org/F/<Your MyGet feed name>/auth/<MyGet API Key>/api/v2/package/<Module Name>/<Module Version>"
i.e. for my SendEmail module, the PowerShell command would be something like this:
$MyGetFeedName = 'SampleMyGetFeed'
$MyGetAPIKey = '89c2d7b8-2d76-4274-a5b7-bcb1f186502c'
$PackageURI = "https://www.myget.org/F/$MyGetFeedName/auth/$MyGetAPIKey/api/v2/package/SendEmail/1.3"
New-AzureRmAutomationModule -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName -AutomationAccountName $AutomationAccountName -Name 'SendEmail' -ContentLink $PackageURI
Importing from a public MyGet feed
If the module is located in a public MyGet feed, then the API key is not required. the URI for the module would be very similar to PowerShell Gallery, you will just need to embed "api/v2/" in to the original URI:
'https://www.myget.org/F/<MyGet Public Feed Name>/api/v2/package/<Module Name>/<Module Version>'
the PowerShell script would be something like this:
$MyGetPublicFeedName = 'SampleMyGetPublicFeed'
New-AzureRmAutomationModule -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName -AutomationAccountName $AutomationAccountName -Name 'SendEmail' -ContentLink "https://www.myget.org/F/$MyGetPublicFeedName/api/v2/package/SendEmail/1.3"
PowerShell version 5 has introduced a new feature that allows you to install packages (such as PowerShell modules) from NuGet repositories. If you have used cmdlets such as Find-Module, Install-Module or Uninstall-Module, then you have already taken advantage of this awesome feature.
By default, a Microsoft owned public repository PowerShell Gallery is configured on all computers running PowerShell version 5 and when you use Find-Module or Install-Module, you are pulling the modules from the PowerShell Gallery.
Ever since I started using PowerShell v5, I've discovered some challenges managing modules for machines in my environment:
- Lack of a fully automated way to push modules to a group of computers
- Module version inconsistency between computers
- Need of a private repository
Let me elaborate each of the point listed above.
Lack of a fully automated way to push modules to a group of computers
Back in the old days (pre WMF v5), I used to package PowerShell modules to msi's and use ConfigMgr to deploy the msi to target computers. although it's not too hard to a package module to msi, this method is really time consuming, not to mention it also requires ConfigMgr. In PowerShell v5, I can write a script that utilise PowerShell remoting to push modules to remote machines, this is still a manual process, and it may not be a viable solution for a large group of computers.
Module version inconsistency between computers
over the time, modules get updated, new modules get released from various sources. I often find module version become inconsistent among computers. there is no automated ways to update computers when a new version is released.
Need of a private repository
PowerShell Gallery is public. everything you publish to it will be available for the entire world. Organisations often write modules specifically for internal use, and may not want to share it with the rest of the world.
Before I dive into the main topic, I'd like to discuss what I have done for implementing private repositories.
Private Repositories
PowerShell PackageManagement uses NuGet repositories. I found the following solutions available:
- MyGet (https://www.myget.org/)
- ProGet (http://inedo.com/proget)
- Private NuGet repository (https://learn-powershell.net/2014/04/11/setting-up-a-nuget-feed-for-use-with-oneget/)
MyGet is a SaaS (Software as a Service) based repository hosted on the cloud. Although you can create your own feeds, private feeds come with a price tag (free accounts allow you to create public feeds that everyone can access).
ProGet is a on-premises solution. To install it, you will need a web server (and optionally a SQL server) within your network. It comes with free, basic and enterprise editions. the feature comparison is located here: http://inedo.com/proget/pricing/features-by-edition
Since both MyGet and ProGet offer NFR (Not For Resell) licenses to Microsoft MVPs, I have tested both for my lab environment. They both work pretty well. I did not bother to setup the free private NuGet repository (the 3rd option).
These days, I found myself writing more and more PowerShell modules for different projects. During development phase, I'd normally use a feed that's hosted on my ProGet server because it is located in my lab, so it's faster to publish and download modules. Once the module is ready, I'd normally publish it to MyGet for general consumption because it's a SaaS based application, both my lab machines and Azure IaaS machines will have no problem accessing it.
DSC Resource cPowerShellPackageManagement
In order to overcome the other two challenges that I'm facing (module automatically deployment and version inconsistency), I have created a DSC resource called cPowerShellPackageManagement.
According to the DSC namingstandard, the first letter 'c' indicates it is a community resource, and as the rest of the name suggests, it is used to manage PowerShell packages.
This DSC resource module contains 2 resources:
- cPowerShellRepository – used to register or unregister specific NuGet feeds on computers running PowerShell v5 and above.
- cPowerShellModuleManagement – used to install / uninstall modules on computers running PowerShell v5 and aove
cPowerShellRepository [String] #ResourceName
Name = [string]
[DependsOn = [string[]]]
[Ensure = [string]{ Absent | Present }]
[InstallationPolicy = [string]{ Trusted | Untrusted }]
[PackageManagementProvider = [string]]
[PsDscRunAsCredential = [PSCredential]]
[PublishLocation = [string]]
[SourceLocation = [string]]
To register a feed, you will need to specify some basic information such as PublishLocation and SourceLocation. You can also set Ensure = Absent to unregister the feed with the name specified in the Name parameter.
When not specified, the InstallationPolicy field default value is "Untrusted". If you'd like to set the repository as a trusted repository, set this value to "Trusted".
Note: since the repository registration is based on each user (as opposed to machine based settings) and DSC configuration is executed under LocalSystem context. you will not be able to see the repository added by this resource if you run Get-PSRepository cmdlet under your own user account. If you start PowerShell under LocalSystem by using PsExec (run psexec /i /s /d powershell.exe), you will be able to see the repository:
cPowerShellModuleManagement [String] #ResourceName
PSModuleName = [string]
RepositoryName = [string]
[DependsOn = [string[]]]
[Ensure = [string]{ Absent | Present }]
[MaintenanceLengthMinute = [Int32]]
[MaintenanceStartHour = [Int32]]
[MaintenanceStartMinute = [Int32]]
[PsDscRunAsCredential = [PSCredential]]
[PSModuleVersion = [string]]
- PSModuleName – PowerShell module name. When this is set to 'all', all modules from the specified repository will be installed. So please do not use 'all' against PSGallery!!
- RepositoryName – Name of the repository where module will be installed from. This can be a public repository such as PowerShell Gallery, or your privately owned repository (i.e. your ProGet or MyGet feeds). You can use the cPowerShellRepository resource to configure the repository.
- PSModuleVersion – This is an optional field. when used, only the specified version will be installed (or uninstalled). If not specified, the latest version of the module from the repository will be used. This field will not impact other versions that are already installed on the computer (i.e. when installing the latest version, earlier versions will not be uninstalled).
- MaintenanceStartHour, MaintenanceStartMinute and MaintenanceLengthMinute – Since the LCM will run the DSC configuration on a pre-configured interval, you may not want to install / uninstall modules during business hours. Therefore, you can set the maintenance start hour (0-23) and start minute (0-59) to specify the start time of the maintenance window. MaintenanceLengthMinute represents the length of the maintenance window in minutes. These fields are optional, when specified, module installation and uninstallation will only take place when the LCM runs the configuration within the maintenance window. Note: Please make sure the MaintenanceLengthMinute is greater than the value configured for the LCM ConfigurationModeFrequencyMins property.
Sample Configuration
Here are some sample configurations to demonstrate the usage of these DSC resources.
1. Register to an On-Prem ProGet feed and install all modules from the feed
Configuration SampleProGetConfiguration
Import-DSCResource -Name cPowerShellRepository -ModuleName cPowerShellPackageManagement
Import-DSCResource -Name cPowerShellModuleManagement -ModuleName cPowerShellPackageManagement
#Register to On-Prem ProGet repository
$SourceUri = "http://ProGetRepo/nuget/FeedName"
$PublishUri = 'http://ProGetRepo/nuget/FeedName'
$FeedName = 'ProGet'
Node PowerShellModuleConfig {
cPowerShellRepository ProGetRepo {
Name = $FeedName
SourceLocation = $SourceUri
PublishLocation = $PublishUri
Ensure = 'Present'
InstallationPolicy = 'Trusted'
cPowerShellModuleManagement InstallAllModules {
PSModuleName = 'All'
Ensure = 'Present'
RepositoryName = $FeedName
DependsOn = "[cPowerShellRepository]ProGetRepo"
Using this configuration, I can manage the modules from the repository feed level. if I add or update a module to the feed, the DSC LCM on each configured compute will automatically install the newly added (or updated) module when next time the configuration is refreshed.
2. Register to a feed hosted on MyGet, and install several specific modules
Configuration SampleMyGetConfiguration
Import-DSCResource -Name cPowerShellRepository -ModuleName cPowerShellPackageManagement
Import-DSCResource -Name cPowerShellModuleManagement -ModuleName cPowerShellPackageManagement

Special Thanks
I'd like to thank my MVP friends Jakob G Svendsen (@JakobGSvendsen), Pete Zerger (@pzerger), Daniele Grandini (@DanieleGrandini) and James Bannan (@JamesBannan) who provided feedback and helped me testing the modules.
Earlier today, the OMS Product Group has released the OMS HTTP Data Collection API to public preview. If you haven't read the announcement, you can read this blog post written by the PM of this feature, Evan Hissey first.
As a Cloud and Datacenter Management MVP, I've had private preview access to this feature for few months now, and I actually even developed a solution using this API in a customer engagement with my friend and fellow CDM MVP Alex Verkinderen (@AlexVerkinderen) just over a month ago. I was really impressed with the potential opportunities this feature may bring to us, I've been spamming Evan's inbox asking him for the release date of this feature so I can blog about it and also present this in user group meetups.
Since most of us wouldn't like having to deal with HTTP headers, bodies, authorizations and other overhead we have to put into our code in order to use this API, I have developed a PowerShell module to help us easily utilize this API.
Introducing OMSDataInjection PowerShell Module
This module was developed about 2 months ago, I was waiting for the API to become public so I can release this module. So now the wait is over, I can finally release it.
This module contains only one public function: New-OMSDataInjection. This function is well documented in a proper help file. you can access it via Get-Help New-OMSDataInjection –Full. I have added 2 examples in the help file too:
PS C:\>$PrimaryKey = Read-Host -Prompt 'Enter the primary key'
$ObjProperties = @{
Computer = $env:COMPUTERNAME
Username = $env:USERNAME
Message = 'This is a test message injected by the OMSDataInjection module. Input data type: PSObject'
LogTime = [Datetime]::UtcNow
$OMSDataObject = New-Object -TypeName PSObject -Property $ObjProperties
$InjectData = New-OMSDataInjection -OMSWorkSpaceId '8eb61d08-133c-401a-a45b-0e611194779f' -PrimaryKey $PrimaryKey -LogType 'OMSTestData' -UTCTimeStampField 'LogTime' -OMSDataObject $OMSDataObject
Injecting data using a PS object by specifying the OMS workspace Id and primary key
PS C:\>$OMSConnection = Get-AutomationConnection 'OMSConnection'
$OMSDataJSON = @"
"Username": "administrator",
"Message": "This is a test message injected by the OMSDataInjection module. Input data type: JSON",
"LogTime": "Tuesday, 28 June 2016 9:08:15 PM",
"Computer": "SERVER01"
$InjectData = New-OMSDataInjection -OMSConnection $OMSConnection -LogType 'OMSTestData' -UTCTimeStampField 'LogTime' -OMSDataJSON $OMSDataJSON
Injecting data using JSON formatted string by specifying the OMSWorkspace Azure Automation / SMA connection object (to be used in a runbook)
This PS module comes with the following features:
01. A Connection object for using this module in Azure Automation and SMA.
Once imported into your Azure Automation account (or SMA for the 'old skool' folks), you will be able to create connection objects that contains your OMS workspace Id, primary key and secondary key (optional):
And as shown in Example 2 listed above, in your runbook, you can retrieve this connection object and use it when calling the New-OMSDataInjection function.
02. Fall back to the secondary key if the primary key has failed
When the optional secondary key is specified, if the web request using the primary key fails, the module will fall back to the secondary key and try the web request again using the secondary key. This is to ensure your script / automation runbooks will not be interrupted when you are in the process of following the best practice and cycling through your keys.
03. Supports two types of input: JSON and PSObject
As you can see from Evan's post, this API is expecting a JSON object as the HTTP body which contains the data to be injected into OMS. When I started testing this API few months ago, my good friend and fellow MVP Stanislav Zhelyazkov (@StanZhelyazkov) suggested me instead of writing plain JSON format, it's better to put everything into a PSObject then convert it to JSON in PowerShell so we don't mess with the format and type of each field. I think it was a good idea, so I have coded the module to take either JSON format, or a PSObject that contains the data to be injected into OMS.
Sample Script and Runbook
I've created a sample script and a runbook to help you get started. They are also included in the Github repository for this module (link at the bottom of this article):
Sample Script: Test-OMSDataInjection.ps1
#requires -Version 3 -Modules OMSDataInjection
$LogName = 'OMSTestData'
$UTCTimeStampField = 'LogTime'
$Now = [Datetime]::UtcNow
$ISONow = "{0:yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm:ssZ}" -f $now
#Change the OMSWorkspaceId
$OMSWorkSpaceId = Read-Host -Prompt 'Enter the workspace Id'
$PrimaryKey = Read-Host -Prompt 'Enter the primary key'
#region Test PS object input
$ObjProperties = @{
Computer = $env:COMPUTERNAME
Username = $env:USERNAME
Message = 'This is a test message injected by the OMSDataInjection module. Input data type: PSObject'
LogTime = $Now
$OMSDataObject = New-Object -TypeName PSObject -Property $ObjProperties
#Inject data
Write-Output "Injecting PSobject data into OMS"
$InjectData = New-OMSDataInjection -OMSWorkSpaceId $OMSWorkSpaceId -PrimaryKey $PrimaryKey -SecondaryKey $SecondaryKey -LogType $LogName -UTCTimeStampField 'LogTime' -OMSDataObject $OMSDataObject -Verbose
#region test JSON input
#Placing the OMS Workspace ID and primary key into a hashtable

Write-Output "Injecting JSON data into OMS"
$InjectData = New-OMSDataInjection -OMSConnection $OMSConnection -LogType $LogName -UTCTimeStampField 'LogTime' -OMSDataJSON $OMSDataJSON -verbose
Sample Runbook: Test-OMSDataInjectionRunbook
#requires -Version 3 -Modules OMSDataInjection

$ISONOw = "{0:yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm:ssZ}" -f $now
#OMS connection object
$OMSConnectionName = 'OMSConnection'
$OMSConnection = Get-AutomationConnection -Name $OMSConnectionName
#region Test PS object input
$ObjProperties = @{
Computer = $env:COMPUTERNAME

Message = 'This is a test message injected by the OMSDataInjection module via an Azure Automation runbook. Input data type: PSObject'
LogTime = $Now
$OMSDataObject = New-Object -TypeName PSObject -Property $ObjProperties
#Inject data
Write-Output "Injecting PSobject data into OMS"
$InjectData = New-OMSDataInjection -OMSConnection $OMSConnection -LogType $LogName -UTCTimeStampField 'LogTime' -OMSDataObject $OMSDataObject -Verbose
#region test JSON input
$OMSDataJSON = @"
"Username": "$env:USERNAME",
"Message": "This is a test message injected by the OMSDataInjection module via an Azure Automation runbook. Input data type: JSON",
"LogTime": "$ISONow",
"Computer": "$env:COMPUTERNAME"
Write-Output "Injecting JSON data into OMS"
$InjectData = New-OMSDataInjection -OMSConnection $OMSConnection -LogType $LogName -UTCTimeStampField 'LogTime' -OMSDataJSON $OMSDataJSON -verbose
Exploring Data in OMS
Once the data is injected into OMS, if you are using a new data type, it can take a while (few hours) for all the fields to be available in OMS.
i.e. the data injected by the sample script and Azure Automation runbook (executed on Azure):
all the fields that you have defined are stored as custom fields in your OMS workspace:
Please keep in mind, since the Custom Fields feature is still at the preview phase, there's a limit of 100 custom fields per workspace at this stage (https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/log-analytics-custom-fields/), so please be mindful of this limitation when you are building your custom solutions using the HTTP Data Collector API.
Where to Download This Module?
I have published this module in PowerShell Gallery: https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/OMSDataInjection, if you are using PowerShell version 5 and above, you can install it directly from it: Install-Module –Name OMSDataInjection –Repository PSGallery
You can also download it from it's GitHub repo: https://github.com/tyconsulting/OMSDataInjection-PSModule/releases
In the past, we've had the OMS Custom View Designer that can help us visualising the data that we already have in OMS Log Analytics, what we were missing is a native way to inject data into OMS. Now with the release of this API, the gap has been filled. Like Evan mentioned in his blog post, by coupling this API with the OMS View Designer (and even throwing Power BI into the mix), you can develop some really fancy solutions.
On 21st of September (3 weeks from now), I will be presenting at the Melbourne Microsoft Cloud and Datacenter Meetup (https://www.meetup.com/Melbourne-Microsoft-Cloud-and-Datacenter-Meetup/events/233154212/), my topic is Developing Your OWN Custom OMS Solutions. I will doing live demos creating solutions using the HTTP Data Collector API as well as the Custom View Designer. If you are from Melbourne, I encourage you to attend. I am also planning to record this session and publish it on YouTube later.
Lastly, if you have any suggestions for this PowerShell module, please feel free to contact me!
I've been playing with the OMS Network Performance Monitor (NPM) today. Earlier today, I've released an OpsMgr MP that contains tasks to configure MMA agent for NPM. You can find the post here: http://blog.tyang.org/2016/08/22/opsmgr-agent-task-to-configure-oms-network-performance-monitor-agents/
The other thing I wanted to do is to create a Power BI dashboard for the data collected by OMS NPM solution. The data collected by NPM can be retrieved using OMS search query "Type=NetworkMonitoring".
To begin my experiment, I created a Power BI schedule in OMS using above mentioned query and waited a while for the data to populate in Power BI
I then used 2 custom visuals from the Power BI Custom Visual Gallery:
01. Force-Directed Graph
02. Timeline
and I created an interactive report that displays the network topology based on the NPM data:
In this report, I'm using a built-in slicer (top left) visual to filter source computers and the timeline visual (bottom) to filter time windows. The main section (top right) consists of a Force-Directed Graph visual, which is used to draw the network topology diagram.
I can choose one or more source computers from the slicer, and choose a time window from the timeline visual located at the bottom.
On the network topology (Force-Directed Graph visual), the arrow represents the direction of the traffic, thickness represents the median network latency (thicker = higher latency), and the link colour represents the network loss health state determined by the OMS NPM solution (LossHealthState).
I will now explain the steps I've taken to create this Power BI report:
01. Create a blank report based on the OMS NPM dataset (that you've created from the OMS portal earlier).
02. Create a Page Level Filter based on the SubType Field, and only select "NetworkPath".
03. Add the Slicer visual to the top left and configure it as shown below:
04. Add the Force-Directed Graph (ForceGraph) to the main section of the report (top right), and configure it as shown below:
Fields tab:
- Source – SourceNetworkNodeInterface
- Target – DestinationNetworkNodeInterface
- Weight – Average of MedianLatency
- Link Type – LossHealthState
Format tab:
- Data labels – On
- Links
- Arrow – On
- Label – On
- Color – By Link Type
- Thickness – On
- Nodes
- Max name length – 15
- Size – change to a value that suits you the best
05. Add a timeline visual to the bottom of the report, then drag the TimeGenerated Field from the dataset to the Time field:
As you can see, as long as you understand what each field means in the OMS data type that you are interested in, it's really easy to create cool Power BI reports, as long as you are using appropriate visuals. This is all I have to share today, until next time, have fun in OMS and Power BI!
OMS Network Performance Monitor (NPM) has made to public preview few weeks ago. Unlike other OMS solutions, for NPM, additional configuration is required on each agent that you wish to enrol to this solution. The detailed steps are documented in the solution documentation.
The product team has provided a PowerShell script to configure the MMA agents locally (link included in the documentation). In order to make the configuration process easier for the OpsMgr users, I have created a management pack that contains several agent tasks:
- Enable OMS Network Performance Monitor
- Disable OMS Network Performance Monitor
- Get OMS Network Performance Monitor Agent Configuration
Note: Since this is an OpsMgr management pack, you can only use these tasks against agents that are enrolled to OMS via OpsMgr, or direct OMS agents that are also reporting to your OpsMgr management group.
These tasks are targeting the Health Service class, if you are also using my OpsMgr 2012 Self Maintenance MP, you will have a "Health Service" state view, and you will be able to access these tasks from the task pane of this view:
I can use the "Get OMS Network Performance Monitor Agent Configuration" task to check if an agent has been configured for NPM.
i.e. Before an agent is configured, the task output shows it is not configured:
Then I can use the "Enable OMS Network Performance Monitor" task to enable NPM on this agent:
Once enabled, if I run the "Get OMS Network Performance Monitor Agent Configuration" task again, the task output will show it's enabled and also display the configured port number:
and shortly after, you will be able to see the newly configured node in OMS NPM solution:
If you want to remove the configuration, just simply run the "Disable OMS Network Performance Monitor" task:
You can download the sealed version of this MP HERE. I've also pushed the VSAE project for this MP to GitHub.
Few days ago, the OMS product team has announced the OMS Agent Heartbeat capability. If you haven't read about it, you can find the post here: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/msoms/2016/08/16/view-your-agent-health-in-oms-2/. In this post, Nini, the PM for the agent heartbeat feature explained how to create custom views within OMS portal to visualize the agent heartbeat data. Funny that I also started working on something similar around the same time, but instead of creating visual presentations within OMS, I did it Power BI. I managed to create couple of Power BI reports for the OMS agent heartbeat, using both native and custom Power BI Visuals:
01. Agent Locations Map Report:
Since the agent heartbeat data contains the geo location of the agent IP address, I've created this report to map the physical location the agent on an interactive map.
02. Agent Statistics Report:
This report has several parts, it contains the following parts:
- A heat map based on the country where the agent is located (Agent Location by Country). The colour highlighting the country changes based on the agent count.
- An interactive "fish tank" visual. In this visual, each fish represent an OMS agent. the size of the fish presents number of heartbeats generated by the agent. So, the older the agent (fish) is, the more heartbeat will be generated to the OMS workspace (fish tank), and the bigger the fish will become.
- A Brick chart shows the percentage (this chart contains 100 tiles) of the agent by OS type (Linux vs Windows).
- A tornado chart shows agent distribution by country. Agent OS type is also separated in different colours.
- A Pie Chart shows agent distribution by management groups (SCOM attached vs direct attached vs Linux agents)
- Agent version Donut chart that separates agent counts by agent version numbers (both Windows agents and Linux agents).
The fish visual is called "Enlighten Aquarium", as you can see below, it's an animated visual.
In this blog post, I will walk through the steps of creating these reports.
Before we create these reports, you need to make sure:
01. Power BI account
You will need to have a Power BI account (either a free or pro account) so OMS can inject data into your Power BI workspace.
02. Power BI preview feature is enabled in OMS
At the time of writing this post, the Power BI integration feature in OMS is still under public preview. Therefore if you haven't done so, you will need to manually enable this feature first. To do so, go to the "Preview Features" tab in the OMS settings page, and enable "Power BI Integration":
03. Connect your OMS workspace to your Power BI workspace.
Once the Power BI Integration feature is enabled, you need to connect OMS to Power BI. This is achieved by providing the Power BI account credential in the "Accounts" tab of the OMS settings page:
04. Setting up Power BI injection schedules
We need to inject the OMS agent heartbeat data to Power BI. We can just use a simple query: "Type=Heartbeat", and set the schedule to run every 15 minutes:
05. Wait 15 – 30 minutes
You will have to wait a while before you can see the data in Power BI.
06. Download Power BI Custom visual
Since these reports use number of custom Power BI visuals, you will need to download them to your local computer first, and then import them into the reports when you start creating the reports. To download custom visuals, go to the Power BI Visuals Gallery (https://app.powerbi.com/visuals/) and download the following visuals:
- Brick Chart
- Hierarchy Slicer
- Donut Chart GMO
- Timeline
- Tornado Chart
- Enlighten Aquarium
Create Reports
To start creating the report, firstly logon to Power BI using the account you've used to make the connection in OMS, and then find the Dataset you have specified. in this post, I've created a dataset called "OMS – Agent Heartbeat". By clicking on the dataset, you will be presented to an empty report:
You will then need to import the custom visuals – by clicking on the "…" icon under Visualizations, and select "Import a custom visual"
You can only import one at a time, so please repeat this process and import all the custom visuals I have listed above.
Creating Agent Location Report
For the Agent location report, we will add 3 visuals:
- Hierarchy Slicer – for filtering IP addresses and computer names
- Map – for pinpointing the agent location
- Timeline – for filtering the time windows
Agent Filter (Hierarchy Slicer)
Add a Hierarchy slicer and place on the left side of the page, then drag the ComputerIP and Computer fields from to the "Fields" section, please make sure you place ComputerIP on top of Computer:
it's also a good idea to turn off single selection for the hierarchy slicer so you can select multiple items:
Agent Location Map
Add the Map visual to the report, configure it as listed below:
- Location – RemoteIPCountry
- Legend – Computer
- Latitude – Average of Remote IPLatitude
- Longitude – Average of RemoteIPLongitude
- Size – Count of Computer (Distinct)
Note: since the latitude and longitude shouldn't change between different records for the same computer as long as the IP doesn't change, so it doesn't matter if you use average, or maximum or minimum, the result of each calculation should be the same.
Time Slicer (Timeline)
Add a timeline slicer to the bottom of the report page, configure it to use the TimeGenerated field:
To same some space on the report page, you may also turn off the labels for the timeline slicer:
Lastly, add a text box on the top of the report page, give it a title, also if you want to, assign each visual a title by highlighting the visual, then click on Format icon, and update the title field:
To use this report, you can make your selections in the hierarchy slicer and the timeline slicer. The map will be automatically updated.
Create Agent Statistic Report
For the second report, you can create a new page of the existing report, or create a brand new report based on the same dataset. We will use the following visuals in this report:
- Filled Map
- Aquarium
- Brick Chart
- Tornado Chart
- Pie Chart
- DonutChartGMO
Agent Location By Country (Filled Map)
Configure the Filled Map visual as shown below:
OMS Agent By Heartbeat Count (Aquarium)
Configure the Aquarium visual as shown below:
Agent OS Type (Brick Chart)
Configure the Brick Chart visual as shown below:
Agent Distribution By Country (Tornado Chart)
Configure the Tornado Chart as shown below:
Agent Distribution By Management Groups (Pie Chart)
Configure the Pie Chart as shown below:
Agent Version (DonutChartGMO)
Configure the DonutChartGMO visual as shown below:
and change the Primary Measure under Legend to "Value" / "Percentage" / "Both", whichever you prefer:
Most of the visuals used by this report are interactive. i.e. if I click on a section in the Agent Version DonutChartGMO visual, other visuals will be automatically updated to reflect the selection I made in the DonutChartGMO visual.
Once you've configured all the visuals, please make sure you save your report.
There are many things you can do with the Power BI reports you've just created. i.e. you can share it with other people, ping individual visuals or entire report to a dashboard, or create an Iframe link and embed the report to 3rd party systems that support IFrame (i.e. SharePoint sites). We are not going to get into details of how to consume these reports today.
Please note that during my testing, the RemoteIPLatitude and RemoteIPLongitude data from the heartbeat events are not very accurate for the computers in my lab. I'm based in Melbourne, Australia but the map coordinates pinged to a location in Sydney, which is over 1000km away from me.
Please also be aware that for SCOM attached agents, each time when the agent sends heartbeat, it will send 2 heartbeats via different channels. This behaviour is by design – my good friend and fellow CDM MVP Stanislav Zhelyazkov(@StanZhelyazkov) has explained this in his blog post: https://cloudadministrator.wordpress.com/2016/08/17/double-heartbeat-events-in-oms-log-analytics/
This is all I have to share for today. until next time, have fun with OMS and Power BI!
Few weeks ago, the OMS product team has made a very nice change for the Near Real Time (NRT) Performance data – the data aggregation has been removed! I've been waiting for the official announcement before posting this on my blog. Now Leyla from the OMS team has finally broke the silence and made this public: Raw searchable performance metrics in OMS.
I'm really excited about this update. Before this change, we were only able to search 30-minute aggregated data via Log Search. this behaviour brings some limitations to us:
- It's difficult to calculate average values based on other intervals (i.e. 5-minute or 10-minute)
- Performance based Alert rules can be really outdated – this is because the search result is based on the aggregated value over the last 30 minutes. In critical environment, this can be a bit too late!
By removing the data aggregation and making the raw data searchable (and living a longer life), the limitations listed above are resolved.
Another advantage this update brings is, it greatly simplified the process of authoring your own OpsMgr performance collection rules for OMS NRT Perf data. Before this change, the NRT perf rules come in pairs – each perf counter you want to collect must have 2 rules (with the identical data source module configurations). One rule is for collecting raw data and another is to collect the 30-minute aggregated data. This has been discussed in great details in Chapter 11 of our Inside Microsoft Operations Management Suite book (TechNet, Amazon). Now, we no longer need to write 2 rules for each perf counter. We only need to write one rule – for the raw perf data.
The sample OpsMgr management pack below collects the "Log Cache Hit Ratio" counter for SQL Databases. It is targeting the Microsoft.SQLServer.Database class, which is the seedclass for pre-SQL 2014 databases (2005, 2008 and 2012):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ManagementPack SchemaVersion="2.0" ContentReadable="true" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<Reference Alias="IPTypes">
<Reference Alias="SQL">
<Reference Alias="Windows">
<Reference Alias="System">
<Rule ID="OMS.NRT.Perf.Collection.Demo.SQL.Log.Cache.Hit.Ratio.Perf.Rule" Target="SQL!Microsoft.SQLServer.Database" Enabled="true" Remotable="false" ConfirmDelivery="false" Priority="Normal" DiscardLevel="100">
<DataSource ID="DS" TypeID="IPTypes!Microsoft.IntelligencePacks.Performance.DataProvider">
<CounterName>Log Cache Hit Ratio</CounterName>
<WriteAction ID="WA" TypeID="IPTypes!Microsoft.SystemCenter.CollectCloudPerformanceData_PerfIP" />
<LanguagePack ID="ENU" IsDefault="true">
<DisplayString ElementID="OMS.NRT.Perf.Collection.Demo">
<Name>OMS NRT Perf Collection Demo</Name>
<DisplayString ElementID="OMS.NRT.Perf.Collection.Demo.SQL.Log.Cache.Hit.Ratio.Perf.Rule">
<Name>OMS NRT Performance Collection Demo SQL Log Cache Hit Ratio Perf Rule</Name>
As you can see from the above sample MP, the rule that collects aggregated data is no longer required.
So if you have written some rules collecting NRT perf data for OMS in the past, you may want to revisit what you've done in the past and remove the aggreated data collection rules.
Earlier this week, Microsoft has release a new feature in System Center Configuration Manager 1606 called OMS Connector:
As we all know, OMS supports computer groups. We can either manually create computer groups in OMS using OMS search queries, or import AD and WSUS groups. With the ConfigMgr OMS Connector, we can now import ConfigMgr device collections into OMS as computer groups.
Instead of using the OMS workspace ID and keys to access OMS, the ConfigMgr OMS connector requires an Azure AD Application and Service Principal. My friend and fellow Cloud and Data Center Management MVP Steve Beaumont has blogged his setup experience few days ago. You can read Steve's post here: http://www.poweronplatforms.com/configmgr-1606-oms-connector/. As you can see from Steve's post, provisioning the Azure AD application for the connector can be pretty complex if you are doing it manually – it contains too many steps and you have to use both the old Azure portal (https://manage.windowsazure.com) and the new Azure Portal (https://portal.azure.com).
To simplify the process, I have created a PowerShell script to create the Azure AD application for the ConfigMgr OMS Connector. The script is located in my GitHub repository: https://github.com/tyconsulting/BlogPosts/tree/master/OMS
In order to run this script, you will need the following:
- The latest version of the AzureRM.Profile and AzureRM.Resources PowerShell module
- An Azure subscription admin account from the Azure Active Directory that your Azure Subscription is associated to (the UPN must match the AAD directory name)
When you launch the script, you will firstly be prompted to login to Azure:
Once you have logged in, you will be prompted to select the Azure Subscription and then specify a display name for the Azure AD application. If you don't assign a name, the script will try to create the Azure AD application under the name "ConfigMgr-OMS-Connector":
This script creates the AAD application and assign it Contributor role to your subscription:
At the end of the script, you will see the 3 pieces of information you need to create the OMS connector:
- Tenant
- Client ID
- Client Secret Key
You can simply copy and paste these to the OMS connector configuration.
Once you have configured the connector in ConfigMgr and enabled SCCM as a group source, you will soon start seeing the collection memberships being populated in OMS. You can search them in OMS using a search query such as "Type=ComputerGroup GroupSource=SCCM":
Based on what I see, the connector runs every 6 hours and any membership additions or deletions will be updated when the connector runs.
i.e. If I search for a particular collection based on the last 6 hours, I can see this particular collection has 9 members:
During my testing, I deleted 2 computers from this collection few days ago. If I specify a custom range targeting a 6-hour time window from few days ago, I can see this collection had 11 members back then:
This could be useful sometimes when you need to track down if certain computers have been placed into a collection in the past.
This is all I have to share today. Until next time, enjoy OMS .

Going Coastal
What can be more confusing than whipping up a nice meal? Perhaps whipping up a nice meal that also tastes the way it's supposed to? Sure, anyone can boil a few noodles and drench 'em in marinara, but it can't be considered spaghetti unless it tastes like spaghetti. Just in case you've been struggling with Rachael Ray's 30-minute recipes, Central Market's got you covered. Making Friends in the Kitchen: Coast to Coast invites aspiring cooks to discover dishes like Susan Spicer's summer crab salad and Todd English's pan roasted rib-eye. Oh, and no worries, Allen Susser's mango creme brulee is set to satisfy that sweet tooth at the end of the night. Stovetops and ovens will stay heated from 6:30 to 9 p.m. this Saturday at Central Market Cooking School, 5750 E. Lovers Lane. Admission is $60.

It doesn't get much better than this, sports fans. At high noon on Friday, hundreds gathered to cheer the students and coaches of the 2011 Big Red men's swimming and diving team for their first-ever NCAA National Championship.
The "Rally on the Quad" outside Slayter featured remarks by President Dale Knobel, Provost Brad Bateman, Head Coach Gregg Parini, and team captains Jake Lewing, a senior from Yardley, Pa., and Kyle Chabot, a senior from Washington, Mich.
The messages were all about "team."
"Swimming, in some ways, is a solitary sport, but in other ways, it's a team sport," Knobel said, "and that's what we saw on display this last weekend. Each individual not only sought to perform at the highest level, but they were convinced they weren't going to let their teammates down."
Parini's pride was apparent. "The alumni and I challenged this group early on in the season," he said, "and it became our team mantra: 'Never be afraid of failure, but be absolutely terrified of being forgotten.' This team will never be forgotten."
Parini also credited the coaching staff: Jason Glorius, Matt Ense, Rachel Schlatter, Alexa Robinson-O'Neill, and Bill Mason '57.
And here's a bit of trivia: What does the team's signature pose mean — the one where they're standing tall with their fists meeting above their heads?
We hear it symbolizes an unbroken circle: a continuous bond between the swimming and diving alumni who built the program's traditions and the current team members who will, in turn, support future generations of swimmers and divers.
To prove it, Chabot said, "This championship belongs to a lot of people. First, the alumni. We had constant visits from the alumni throughout the year, reminding us, over and over again, that we had the chance to do something special."
And so they did.

text: I would like to suggest that the best parts of our human nature can be seen in sacrifice or surrender. A mother sacrificing her time for her child, a teacher devoting her afternoons to help students off-the-clock. These are truly our most incredible moments as a species: moments of unmerited kindness.

We marketers can easily forget whom we are marketing to. We get so caught up in analytics and creative that we often overlook and rarely evaluate the human factor as it relates to our marketing campaigns. Society is shifting from offline media being the primary communication methods to e-mail, IM, and social networking as the primary, if not sole, communication tools. We must address our audience again.
Look at things like use cases, communication preferences, and of course emotional response to messages in those media. In essence, we must understand the human element of our marketing efforts and reevaluate what the means to our brand, campaign effectiveness, and overall relationship with our audience.
There's a great human experiment unfolding before us that really hits the heart of what I mean by marketing to the human element: social networking. I've written about how Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn can be used for marketing and business tools, but to grasp the essence of how to use these tools you must observe and participate in this social experiment. If you're actively engaged in these three networks and use e-mail, you know what I am talking about.
As you participate in the social experiment, questions arise. Questions like:
- Do I direct-message (DM) him after he tweets something interesting to start a conversation, or do I just retweet his comment to continue the open conversation for all to see?
- Do I connect with her on Facebook to open a further the business relationship or just connect with her on LinkedIn?
- Will he be cool if I post on his wall how I feel about his status or is that only for friends?
- Should I feed my Twitter updates to my Facebook Status updates to keep all abreast of my goings on?
- Can I e-mail her now that we've had a dialogue on Facebook?
- Do I friend my boss or client when I get his friend request?
And on it goes. The human element really comes down to social networking etiquette. At some point, society determined that yelling in a communal place was not acceptable, that asking someone to be your friend before you actually got to know her was the order of events; and that there's an appropriate time to get someone's address or phone number. They all morphed into social norms that we follow almost without thinking. But the rules for communicating online are fuzzy, and for those who didn't grow up with electronic communications, this type of communication is all new and not quite natural.
Getting a feel for the rhythm and social norms of these social media will help you avoid shouting when you should be conversing and being introduced before asking for a friendship with someone. So here are three quick tips to help guide you in your social networking relationships:
- One medium at a time. The messages you post on Twitter are rarely appropriate for any other medium, Facebook included. Facebook is built for learning more about people, seeing photos, and connecting on a more personal level. Twitter is for publishing useful (or banal) information to those who follow you. Feeding your Twitter updates to your Facebook status is a gross misuse of the media, encouraging folks to shut you out on a personal level. Same applies for e-mail. You wouldn't e-mail someone a tweet, nor would you tweet an e-mail.
- Everyone or one. Wall posts, tweets using handles or hash tags, and comments on blogs are ways to communicate your feelings about something to both the author/originator and the wider network. The only good time to do that is when the author is encouraging such communications. Wall posts in response to a status update are appropriate, as are a tweet with someone's handle to give more props to an issue and comments at the end of a blog post. But it's not appropriate to say, "Hey, what are you doing tonight, honey?" on someone's wall. That private conversation is best saved for IM, DM on Twitter, or a Facebook message. Be sure when you're posting to the public, you do so in support of that person.
- Networking vs. your network. So many in my generation (30-49 years old) use LinkedIn as a way to connect to peers, friends, or someone they met at a conference. That is fine as long as expectations are set low. LinkedIn doesn't facilitate a deeper relationship, foster conversation, or even give you any real insight beyond a person's resume. So if you want to build your list, LinkedIn is fine. Otherwise, Facebook is more appropriate for building a relationship and Twitter is best for building a following, and really, this is for speakers, authors, and organizations that are follow-worthy. Remember: LinkedIn for the network; Facebook for networking, and Twitter for building a fan base.
Once you understand the human element of social networks, you can start using them appropriately for marketing and strategic efforts. Get involved, but do it as a person first, then as a marketer.
And don't forget: commenting on columns like this is great way to get the author's attention!

Former CEO Craig Miller scored an important victory yesterday in coming out on top in a straw poll held at the 'A Conservative Roar from the I-4 Corridor' rally in Sanford, FL.
The event featured GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain and U.S. Senate candidates Craig Miller and Mike McCalister, in addition to a host of other state level candidates.
Attended by hundreds of conservatives, including various grassroots organizations and tea party groups from around Central Florida, the event was a kick off to the 2012 election and the critical importance the I-4 corridor will play in the outcome.
Having just entered the GOP primary race for U.S. Senate seven weeks prior, the significance of Craig Miller's win yesterday amongst grassroots supporters cannot be overstated and is a good indication that his campaign is off to a very effective start.
In the wake of his victory, Miller said;
"I'm very encouraged to see these real results from the grassroots movement here in Florida. My conversations with folks on Main Street have informed me that the voters are tired of business as usual and want someone other than a career politician to take on Bill Nelson next year. Our campaign has been building momentum these past few weeks and this straw poll shows that our message of job creation and economic growth is resonating with the people. When I'm the nominee, we're going to retire Bill Nelson and end his 40-year political career."
