I have a request from the windows admin to monitor the Scheduler and not finding a solution , please provide your adice.
What specifically are you trying to monitor for the Scheduler, do you just want to make sure the process is still running?
To monitor the Task Scheduler process (which we do) go into the SAM Settings, choose Browse for Component Monitors, then choose the browsing method that is suited for your environment (SNMP, RPC, WMI), point it at a system with Task Scheduler running. A this point it will list the running processes and you should be able to select the Task Scheduler. From there you can create an application template for monitoring this which can then be applied to multiple nodes.
As a point of advice, I recommend always using templates versus just applications as it will make management of SAM much easier down the road if you have a lot of nodes/applications that you are managing.
Hope this helps!
Generally most systems administrators are interested in be alerted to when a scheduled task fails to run properly. This can be easily accomplished with SAM by creating the proper Windows Event Log Monitor, as discussed in the following thread.
