I am playing with System Center Operations Manager 2012 R2 and 2016, and I would like to integrate the overall SCOM status into another monitoring solution (Cacti).
Is there an API to query the status of the SCOM Management Server and the number of active alerts, unhealthy clients, etc..?
I tried searching online for WMI or API access, but I get swamped with articles, how to use SCOM to monitor WMI and other APIs, not the other way around.
Thanks,
Daniel
Nevermind, searching for SDK reveals the answer:

I had to configure AppDynamics alerts in the past for Java applications I worked for.
I also heard of Nagios, but I am not very sure how that works.
Now, I need to configure alerts for a FlowForce Server, but I don't believe it can be integrated with AppDynamics or Nagios.
I saw FlowForce allow me to send some alerts, like when a step of a job fails, but I would like to have some server alerts, like, for instance, if the license expires and, as a result, the server is automatically shut down.
I am wondering the best way to achieve it.
I am running it on a Windows environment BTW.
Suggestions are welcome.
Thank you in advance!
I found my answer on the Flow Force online help (https://manual.altova.com/flowforceserver/flowforceserver/)
The Flow Force is deployed as two servers, which in a window env, can be started and stopped as windows services (can be found via "Control Panel">"Administrative Tools">Services). With this information, I can monitor them via NAGIOS.
I have more than 200 HP servers in my company branches and I want to automatically monitor server hardware errors. I can see all servers in my WAN.
I want to write a program to monitor HP servers remotely. My application must call an API or other functions remotely, and then get results from servers. After that I can send error signal to my administrators if needed, and my alarm system can read this information and etc. Is any API (or HP Proliant facilities) to get hardware errors and warnings remotely?
The Errors I want to monitor are:
Raid disk errors
Power Errors
CPU Fan Errors
I cant see more than 200 servers iLo GUI every day to monitor errors.
Yes, there is a way to monitor iLO via API. You should be able to integrate your application to the iLO RESTful API. there are some monitoring examples available on GitHub Python library.
you can get things like rest/v1/Managers/{item}/ActiveHealthSystem you might want to look into the complete data model.

We are working on a project that will require us to determine the exact role of an Exchange server through WMI, using Perl. It looks as if there was a WMI namespace for Exchange that was deprecated some time ago (possibly with 2003?). Is there a way to query through WMI to determine the role of an individual server for Exchange 2007/2010/2013?
No, WMI is not supported in versions of Exchange starting with Exchange 2007. Per Development technologies for earlier versions of Exchange, the Exchange Management Shell is the recommended replacement for WMI -"Exchange Management Shell commands that work with versions of Exchange starting with Exchange 2007 replace the WMI providers in Exchange 2003. Because Exchange Management Shell commands that enable you to control Exchange servers, storage groups, databases, and users are easier to use than the corresponding WMI providers and objects, you can easily migrate your applications to Exchange Management Shell commands." Hope that helps!
Quick question from a conversation with a colleague, I would always restart things like MSSQLSERVER agent from SSCM, however a colleague asking what the difference would be starting restarting the service from services.msc.
It never occured to me if there would be any impact restarting the service from here as opposed to Sql Server Configuration Manager, is it just a best practise thing? Also it is SQL Server 2008 R2 on Windows Server 2008 R2. Any thoughts on if there any any adverse effects starting/restarting from services.msc?
Thanks in advance

It is definitely a best practice. Restarting through Windows services will work but may lead to a slippery slope. Using SSCM out of habit helps avoid the temptation to make changes to the services through Windows Services where registry settings may get out of sync.
I have a remote developer connected to my TFS via the internet. When he attempts to do a GET from source control, he fails to get a number of files with error messages as this:
D:\CaseTrakker\CaseTrakker_v6_0\CaseTrakker\CaseTrakker.ObjectModel\Framework\Factories\Value\LookupValueViewModelFactory.cs: Please contact your administrator. There was an error contacting the server.
Technical information (for administrator):
HTTP code 302: Moved Temporarily
This does not happen for all files, but for many, and repeated retries does not resolve it. I am at a complete loss.
Possibly germane, the way that I have published my TFS is to set up a rule in my firewall to route requests targetting http://publicserver:8080/tfs to http://internalserver:8080/tfs. Since this error seems to have to do with redirection, that might be some or all of the issue.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Might be worth getting the external developer to upgrade to the latest Update 3 CTP of VS 2012 as there was a fix in it to handle retries better on downloads.
However, you'll probably have more luck if you configure it so that your TFS server is accessible over the same fully qualified domain name both internally and externally (internally resolving to the internal IP - externally resolving to your external IP). Check out this word document for more information (http://www.christiano.ch/common/documents/Exposing_Team_Foundation_Server_to_the_Internet.docx) or take a look at the Pro TFS 2012 book.
