SCOM 2019 network monitoring for devices not in supported list

Hi All

We are configuring SCOM for network monitoring.

We have few devices not under supported list of network devices. Can we use MIB( OID’s) to collect the extended monitoring details ( Power supply , Fan , Temperature ) for these devices or its only available for supported devices.

Could you please share your thoughts on this.

If your devices are not on the supported list or if you want more advanced monitoring than what SCOM provides out of the box, you will need an additionnal Management Pack dedicated to the type of device you want to monitor.

Device vendors sometime provide one, but you will have to author it otherwise (or hire someone to do it for you).

The System Center Operations Manager - Extensible Network Monitoring Management Pack Generator tool may help you developing such a Management Pack based on a mib file, but I personally don't like that tool... I find it not very straightforward to use and the code it generates is pretty poor and unoptimized.

Am using SNMP MP generator tool. I was able to get the power supply component added for Switch and its working. With same OID when i try to add for router, it doesnot show up. Power supply OID is same for both.

When checked router is not in preffered device list. Not sure if this the reason, am unable to configure.
