I had a client with only Dell servers and moitored by Opsmgr 2007 SP1.
I imported the Dell management pack and after a while I had this error:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: HealthService
Event Category: Health Service
Event ID: 4000
Date: Date
Time: Time
User: N/A
Computer: ComputerName
Description:
A monitoring host is unresponsive or has crashed. The status code for the host
failure was 2164195371.
Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: APPCRASH
Application Name: MonitoringHost.exe
Application Version: 6.0.6278.0
Application Timestamp: 47b71437
Fault Module Name: HealthServiceRuntime.dll
Fault Module Version: 6.0.6278.0
Fault Module Timestamp: 47b71433
Exception Code: c0000005
Exception Offset: 00003d9d
OS Version: 6.0.6001.2.1.0.16.7

Microsoft discovered an issue in the SNMP networking module that causes the HealthService to become unstable.
There is now a Microsoft hotfix available to fix this error. You can't download the hotfix so you have to contact Microsoft Customer Service and Support to obtain the hotfix.
When I installed the hotfix my issue was solved!

A few days ago the System Center Virtual User Group had their first session.
They talked about cross-platform monitoring in OpsMgr SP2, Powershell and ACS.
You can watch the presenations here:

I've written a little manual for configuring your opsmgr or Essentials so you can collect and generate alerts based on syslogs.
In my example I used a fortigate firewall but you could use whatever network device or unix machine that can send syslogs.
Have fun,

You can find the latest MP road map here.
As you will see the windows 2008 will soon be available in Beta on the Connect site!
Another thing to mention is the mp for Exchange 2007 sp1. It should be available since April/08 but it isn't!! @ the moment, the mp for exchange 2007 gives us a lot of trouble with Exchange 2007 sp1. Some performance counters are not collected, heathservice running at 30%, no topology view, etc etc. So I'm really looking forward to it!

Microsoft has published a Vista gadget to help you search for Microsoft System Center products. The gadget uses Live Search macros to search specific sites instead of the entire website.
I'ts a great tool and very cool but don't spell your word wrong! I typed opsmg instead of opsmgr and the tool could't find any results containing opsmg.
So I think I will still google when I'm looking for info on OPSMG!
