Enable Operations Manager Verbose Tracing
Updated: August 5, 2009
Applies To: Operations Manager 2007 R2
This verbose tracing method is used to see the Windows Remote Management (WinRM) queries used by Operations Manager to gather data from the agent. If you suspect there is a problem with the WinRM connection, this log provides detailed information that can help with troubleshooting.
To trace WinRM events
On the Management server that is monitoring the UNIX or Linux agent, open a command prompt.
Type the following commands at the command prompt:
cd C:\Program Files\System Center Operations Manager 2007\tools
StopTracing.cmd
StartTracing.cmd VER
Reproduce the failing issue in Operations Manager.
Type the following commands at the command prompt:
StopTracing.cmd
FormatTracing.cmd
Search for WS-Man in the TracingGuidsNative.log file.
Note
WinRM is also known as WS-Management (WS-Man).
Note
The FormatTracing command opens a Windows Explorer window displaying the c:\Windows\temp\OpsMgrTrace directory. The TracingGuidsNative.log file is in that directory.
