Q. What is End-to-end Service Monitoring?
   
A.

Customers have requested the ability to manage other objects in the Operations Manager system in the same way that they manage servers today. In other words, they want to move from a server-centric view of the world to a service-centric view. Customers want to be able to monitor the events, alerts, state and performance associated with these objects. They want to run tasks, apply rules, set overrides, and set maintenance mode for these objects. Above all, they want simple ways to create and administer these objects, preferably by automatic discovery.

In Operations Manager 2007, we leverage the System Definition Model (SDM) to enable the monitoring of logical services or other entities besides the traditional server. This new management infrastructure enables Operations Manager to understand service and application structures, monitor service and application overall health in the form of a state machine, and then provide proscriptive knowledge and guidance around managing services and application state transitions. The infrastructure will also allow Operations Manager to perform synthetic transactions and model the application services being tested and the data being collected more accurately.
