Installation Instructions

Before installing, be sure to read the Requirements and Prerequisites sections of the manual, and that your system complies with all system requirements and prerequisites.

Selecting Servers to Monitor

When the Reporting Services Management Pack is installed, it will automatically discover Reporting Services on computers that are included in '.NET Enterprise Agent Deployment Group', and then deploy and configure Reporting Services monitoring agents on those servers. If you want to only monitor selected servers, then you need to configure the server list prior to installing the Reporting Services Management Pack.

To include/exclude computers for monitoring, you must modify the list of monitored servers in the  '.NET Enterprise Agent Deployment Group' 

Install the Management Pack

You can monitor the progress of agent deployment from the OpsMgr Operations Console by looking under  "AVIcode .NET Application Monitoring"Monitoring Agent State, where the agents that have been deployed will appear. If all agents do not appear in that view, you can check the deployment progress for success and failures messages via "AVIcode .NET Application Monitoring"'Management Pack Events'

If an agent was already deployed to the Reporting Services server from the Enterprise Management Pack prior to deploying an agent from the Reporting Services Management Pack, then the agent needs to be upgraded to update the Integration kit.

Once Reporting Services applications have been discovered, they will automatically be configured for monitoring. In order for monitoring to actually begin, those services must be restarted. Please read the section of the manual about default configuration monitoring for more information.

 

To activate monitoring of Reporting Services 2005:

 

To activate  monitoring of Reporting Services 2008:

Uninstalling the Management Pack

1) All configuration that is applied for Server Agent remains on all OpsMgr machines where Reporting Services was monitored, 2) Updated version of Handlers remains on all OpsMgr machines where Reporting Services was monitored. To remove the Reporting Services configuration settings manually, log into each monitored server, open the Intercept MMC,  delete the monitored Reporting Services web applications (for Reporting Services 2005) and windows service (for Reporting Services 2008) and clear the corresponding settings in the default configurations.

Uninstalling the Agents

if the Management Pack is still installed, and a monitored server is still included in the '.NET Enterprise Agent Deployment Group' , then the agent will automatically be re-deployed once it has been removed. If you wish to permanently remove the agent from a monitored server, you must first remove the server from the deployment group (see 'Selecting Servers to Monitor' at the beginning of this chapter).

To stop monitoring of Reporting Services 2005:

To stop monitoring of Reporting Services 2008:

Upgrading

This upgrade process will 1) update all server agent configurations (including the default configuration), 2) will deploy an updated version of Handlers to all machines.

If an agent was already deployed to the Reporting Services server from the Enterprise Management Pack prior to deploying an agent from the Reporting Services Management Pack, then the agent needs to be upgraded to update the Integration kit.
