Warning: Kaseya does not support installing agents in the windir (typically c:windows) directory. This includes taking over management of machines that already have Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business, version 10.2.4.674 installed, independently of the VSA.

OpenManage is a Dell application, so this kind of assumes a Dell server, though this can easily be tweaked for another server model if the hardware monitoring puts anything in event logs.Now, you should be able to select your required servers. Depending on your environment, you may prefer more or less.įor alert actions, we want an alarm created and the required e-mail recipients to be emailed. If we have a hard drive that fails, it typically spews out a lot of errors, and I get what is going on with a single e-mail, so I’m going to ignore additional alarms for 30 minutes after an OpenManage alert.

For all hardware issues or generally critical failures, OpenManage will place events under these categories in the System log. We’re only going to alert for Error, Warning, and Critical. This is also useful for us because some older versions of OpenManage use different event IDs. I’d recommend you start with this, then add ignores as you see fit. How can I filter on agents that need to be updated (old agent versions). Now, I know you’re probably asking, “Do I really want everything from OpenManage?” We’re going to filter it to event types here in a minute. Note: Once the Custom Field has been created we can now create an Agent. This is obviously excellent for hardware alerts, firmware alerts and other potential issues.įor reference, I’m using Kaseya 8.0.0.12, and I’ve had success with this with several versions of OpenManage.įirst things first, everything we’re going to do here will be in Monitor -> Agent Monitoring -> Event Log Alerts. While we’re in there, we are going to hit Edit below Define events to match or ignore. Let’s put two and two together and make Kaseya let us know when OpenManage reports something wrong.

It’s pretty straightforward: Kaseya gathers event logs, and Dell’s OpenManage puts events into System Administrator in the System event logs. I’ve seen this come up several times and finally decided to write a blog on it.
