Integrate Citrix Director and SCOM for enhanced monitoring at CVAD platforms !

Director administrator account needs to be configured as a SCOM Operator role so that they can retrieve full alert information in Director. If this is not possible, a SCOM administrator account can be configured in the web.config file using the DirectorConfig tool, however it is not recommended. (web.config) file under director folder

If  you do not have Windows Remote management enabled, you have to enable that. This can be done using CLI and running the command Enable-PSremoting.

When it comes to the integration, from CLI run the command (On the Director Server)

DirectorConfig.exe /Configscom

Then enter the name of the Opsmgr management server, authentication will happen using their Director Credentials. Also if we have delegated setup in our Director we also need to create a user role within Operaitons Manager, since the authentication against OpsMgr is using pass-trough (NOTE: We have specific access rules within Studio for SCOM)

After the connection is setup, alerts will start appearing in Director under the alerts pane, such as shown here –> 

We can also do a drill-down of the alerts, from within the alerts pane.

We can also see all alters from the alters overview.
