Pushing alerts to System Center Operations Manager and SNMP managers

If you have a license for the Active Directory Health module, you can forward the Active Directory Health alerts generated by Active Directory Health Analyzer agents to Microsoft® System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) and SNMP managers. These alerts will appear in the Quest Alert Events view, under the Quest Active Administrator folder in the Operations Manager Monitoring pane and in the SNMP Manager.

 
* 
NOTE: Only System Center 2016 Operations Manager is supported. See Configuring SCOM and SNMP Settings.
NOTE: Only SNMP management software capable of TRAP v2 notifications processing is supported. See Configuring SCOM and SNMP Settings.

Limiting alert notifications

To prevent being overwhelmed with notifications, you set up the notification limiter to govern the number of notifications sent within a specified time period. For example, you set the notification limit to 100 notifications within 20 minutes with a 10 minute reset time, which is the default. Once 100 notifications are sent within the 20 minute time period, notifications are suspended for 10 minutes, which is the reset time.

The Notification Limiter dialog indicates if notifications are being sent or suspended and the countdown for the reset. Once the Current Count reaches the limit, the Reset Duration starts to increment. The Missed Notification indicates the number of notifications that were not sent. Click Refresh to renew the display information.Once the Reset Duration reaches the limit, all counts return to zero. You can manually reset the counter when notifications are suspended by clicking Reset.

* 
NOTE: The notification limit applies collectively to all email notifications sent from Active Directory Health Analyzer. Any email notification from Active Administrator Health, including Active Directory Health Analyzer agent notifications, increases the notification count in the notification limiter count by one.
To limit notifications
1
Select Active Directory Health | Agents.
2
Open the Monitored Domain Controllers tab, if necessary.
3
Click Limiter.
4
By default, the notification limiter feature is enabled. If you want unlimited notifications sent, clear the Enabled check box.
5
By default, an email is sent to the administrator when the limit is reached. To suppress the email, clear the check box.
6
Set the number of notifications to send within a specified time period. Once the limit is met, notifications are suspended until the reset time period is met.
7
Set the reset time period, which is the period of time to wait after the limit is met before automatically resetting the count.
▪
To renew the counter display, click Refresh.
▪
To reset the counters manually, click Reset.
* 
NOTE: Notifications must be in the Suspended state to reset the counters manually.
