As an observability architect, I have seen firsthand the power and importance of a robust monitoring solution. For infrastructure monitoring System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) stands tall. It is widely adopted and excels at monitoring the health and performance of infrastructure. However, as the need for advanced observability grows, such as tracking application logs and tracing code paths, SCOM's capabilities can fall short.

Does your SCOM environment run slow? Do you have too many unwanted alerts? Are you preparing for the upcoming upgrade? Don't worry. These issues are very common and frustrating, but thankfully also solvable.

Microsoft has announced the generally availability of SCOM 2025. This version brings new features and improvements, and ensures a future-proof SCOM platform with support extending for at least the next decade.

In data-driven environments, effective monitoring and reporting is critical for IT operations. For organizations using Microsoft’s System Center Operations Manager (SCOM), the integration with visualization tools like Grafana can enhance data accessibility and understandability. One standout integration solution is the Opslogix SCOM Data Source for Grafana. In this blog post we will talk about why it can be the next game-changer for your organization.

September 10, 2024 - Amsterdam, Netherlands — Opslogix, a leader in IT operations management solutions, is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with Grafana Labs, the creators of the open and composable observability platform built around the LGTM stack (Loki, Grafana, Tempo, and Mimir).

Upgrade to SCOM 2022: Choosing between in-place upgrade and side-by-side installation With mainstream support for SCOM 2019 ending on the 9th of April 2024, it is time to start planning for the upgrade to SCOM 2022. However, there are several factors to consider before making an upgrade. One of them is whether you should choose an in-place upgrade or a side-by-side installation. In this blog post, we aim to give you some important aspects to evaluate when making your decision.
