SCOM Alerts as Event Messages

The CA NSM SCOM Integration converts SCOM alerts to Event messages. The actual SCOM alerts are not displayed verbatim on the Console.

Note: You can see the actual SCOM alerts in the SCOM Alerts Viewer of the Management Command Center.

The following table shows what information from SCOM alerts is put into Event messages:

SCOM Alert

Event Message

SCOM server that generated the alert

Node

Process that gathers SCOM alerts

User

SCOM object where the event that caused the alert occurred


Station

CAOPS prefix

Message ID

SCOM alert description field

Message Text

GUID (Globally Unique Identifier)

User Data

SCOM object display name

Category

The following table shows how SCOM alert severity is converted to Event severity:

SCOM Alert Severity

Event Message Severity

Success

S (Success)

Information

I (Information)

Warning

W (Warning)

Uninitialized

U (Unknown)

F (Fatal)

Note: Event Management does not communicate directly with SCOM.
