How it works...

The Alert Management solution supports Windows and Linux agents, and SCOM management groups, as connected sources.

For both Windows and Linux agents, Log Analytics alerts can be created from performance and event data. Direct Windows and Linux agents, however, do not generate alerts. Alerts from Nagios and Zabbix are collected through the Linux agents on the application servers.

Through SCOM integration with OMS, SCOM alerts are relayed to the management group and then forwarded to OMS Log Analytics every three minutes. The Alert Management solution is able to analyze alerts as soon as they are stored in the OMS repository.
