System Center 2019 Management Pack for UNIX and Linux Operating Systems

With the latest updates, SCOM 2019 /2022 have been enhanced to support the monitoring of Linux distributions configured with crypto-policies enabled in FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards) mode. This capability ensures that organizations adhering to strict cryptographic standards can seamlessly monitor their Linux workloads within a FIPS-compliant environment.
It's essential to apply this hotfix in addition to updating Linux/Unix MPs.

The UNIX and Linux Operating Systems Management Packs enable discovering, monitoring, and managing UNIX and Linux computers with System Center Operations Manager 2019. They provide both proactive and reactive monitoring of the UNIX and Linux operating systems. The management packs monitor components such as processes, resources, and server agents. The monitoring provided by the management packs includes availability and configuration monitoring, performance data collection, and default thresholds. You can integrate the monitoring of UNIX and Linux components into your service-oriented monitoring scenarios. In addition to health monitoring capabilities, the management packs include reports, diagnostics, tasks, and views that enable near real-time diagnosis and resolution of detected issues. The management packs also enable the installation of the Audit Collection Services for UNIX/Linux Management Packs.
