Get distributed application from scom alert

Hi,

I am trying to find the impacted distributed application starting from an alert with powershell.

Can anyone help me with this?

Kind regards,
Luc

Hi Luc - I’m certainly interested to see if there is a solution here but I think this will be challenging in the direction of SCOM alert → Distributed Application.

The alert can be mapped to the target object but then how do you map the target object to a DA (which is essentially a group)? The target object which may have a hosting relationship at a number of levels and the host needs checking against each group that it could be a member of potentially nested groups under the Distributed Application.

The way I’ve “sort of” seen this done in the first is highlighted towards the end of Keith’s presentation here - https://youtu.be/yEjRj8WPNJ8?t=3217 - where you have a custom property of business service and can then pull back all alerts with a specific property value. It does require a defined way of monitoring \ discovery which is what Keith describes earlier in the presentation.

Sorry I can’t offer a quicker \ neater solution.
