Hello all,
I've inherited the monitoring project at my company (I'm not sure who I made angry, probably everyone). Anyway, our network server team is implementing SCOM (System Center Operations Manager). I'm tasked with two things; integrating SCOM into our database monitoring for the abilities it provides and identifying a hearty third party tool that works with, leverages, works from, SCOM, to do our database specific performance monitoring.
So, any help? Has anyone implemented SCOM's SQL Server performance packs? Tricks, traps, run screaming? Does anyone have a third party tool that they are particularly enamored of? Idera? Quest? Others?
Any and all help or suggestions are welcome.

Hey Grant, I know this one's old but it's one of the first ones that comes up on a SCOM search. Did you get this implemented? If so, what's your experience been?
We're looking at monitoring packages and while we're pretty sold on Idera's tool (Diagnostic Manager), management has other ideas.
Thanks!

Grant - whoops, sorry, just seen how old this is!
Pam,
You might want to have a look at this presentation from the SQLBits conference (the one before last) by MS Certified Architect Bob Duffy
He talks about how not a lot comes out of the box with SCOM for SQL performance monitoring, but outlines how you would go about doing it within SCOM itself - if that is of any interest to you, of course.
