Known issues with automatic event acknowledgement

There are a number of issues which can occur when configuring automatic event acknowledgement. To resolve some of the more common issues, use the below information.

Known issues on windows and UNIX

If events are acknowledged in OMNIbus but Microsoft SCOM 2012 is not being updated by the external procedure file, check that the following files are configured correctly.
  • NCO_PA.conf The scripts require the ObjectServer to start under process agent control. Ensure that the PA configuration file is correctly configured.
  • NCOMS.props Ensure the PA.Username and PA.Password properties are set to the username and password set in the NCO_PA.conf file to start the process agent.

Known issues on UNIX only

If events are acknowledged in OMNIbus but Microsoft SCOM 2012 is not being updated by the external procedure file, there is a possibility that the perl commands used in the TelnetScomProbe.pl script are not in the default location, /usr/local/bin/perl. To check this use the which perl command. For example;
  • $which perl
    /usr/bin/perl
    If the command returns a different perl location, open the TelnetScomProbe.pl file and change the first line of the script to match the location of your perl installation. For example, #!/usr/bin/perl
