v10 Wish List - Management Pack Templates

Challenge:

OpsMgr only allows members of the Operations Manager Administrators role to run management pack templates.  This is a challenge as an admin should be able to delegate and scope this ability to others.

Solution:

Enable 1 or more role types other than Administrators to run MP templates.  Probably "Authors".  Also allow the role to be scoped to particular templates.

 

Rating:

Severity - 3

This challenge can easily be worked around either by adding people to the admin role or, as and admin, doing the work one's self.  However, this can be a burden on the admin.

Applicability - 3

This suggestion would probably help large environments more than small environments since small environments are unlikely to have functional teams to handle MP manipulation.

On the topic MP Templates in OpsMgr v10, there are some additional adds here that I see as very important.

  • File System - We need to take the functionality in Jaime's File System MP and create a flexible template with options around file age/count/size/version monitoring, remote share monitoring (see Neale's SMB Performance MP).
  • Port Monitoring - Needs to be expanded into more detailed monitoring based on the service: FTP, SMTP, SSH, etc. See the "SMTP Check MP" in the Community MP Catalog.

Applicability 4 - These would help orgs of all sizes

Severity 3 - Would be much worse were it not for the community stepping up.
