So when you require more sophisticated log file monitoring, like catching certain log entries, phrases or more monitoring intelligence, you’re facing a real challenge and soon you must use all kinds of scripts in order to get the job done simply because out-of-the-box this functionality is lacking in SCOM.

The FREE NiCE Log File Monitoring MP delivers much more intelligence, enabling you to build sophisticated log file monitors in your SCOM environment. Compare this MP with the out-of-the-box log file monitoring capabilities in SCOM and be amazed:

Yes, you’ve to register in order to download this MP. But that’s an easy process and it might take some time before you’re granted access to their download portal. But once you’re allowed access, you can download this FREE MP – no strings attached! – and import it in your SCOM environment.
