Microsoft Operations Manager Agent 5.0.2911.0

The Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) Agent is a software component that runs on computers monitored by Microsoft System Center Operations Manager (SCOM). It collects system and application data, sends it to the SCOM management server, and executes tasks based on instructions from the server.

The MOM Agent collects performance data, events, and alerts from the monitored computer. It uses Management Packs provided by SCOM to define what data to collect and how to interpret it. The collected data is then sent to the SCOM management server for processing and analysis.

The MOM Agent provides real-time and historical monitoring of system and application components, performance monitoring, event correlation, alerting and notification, as well as executing tasks remotely on managed computers.

To install the MOM Agent, you need to deploy it using SCOM. The agent can be installed manually on individual computers or deployed automatically using group policies or other software deployment methods.

The MOM Agent supports various platforms including Windows Server, Windows Client operating systems, and some non-Microsoft platforms such as Linux and UNIX. Specific versions and requirements may vary depending on the SCOM version.

Yes, you can configure the MOM Agent to monitor specific applications or components by creating or importing Management Packs. Management Packs contain rules, monitors, and other configuration settings that define what to monitor and how to interpret the collected data.

The resource impact of the MOM Agent depends on factors such as the number of monitored components, the frequency of data collection, and the hardware resources available on the managed computer. However, Microsoft has designed the agent to operate with minimal impact on system performance.

The MOM Agent employs secure communication protocols to encrypt data sent between the agent and the management server. Additionally, access to the agent's data and configuration can be restricted using user accounts and role-based access control provided by SCOM.

Common troubleshooting steps include checking network connectivity between the agent and management server, verifying agent configuration settings, reviewing event logs and error messages, and ensuring that required firewall ports are open. Microsoft provides detailed documentation and support resources for troubleshooting agent-related issues.

Yes, you can monitor multiple MOM Agents from a single SCOM management server. The management server acts as a central hub for collecting data from all managed agents and provides a consolidated view of system health, performance, and alerts across the monitored infrastructure.
