Microsoft has just released the SharePoint Monitoring Toolkit. This Solution Accelerator provides a set of System Center Ops Manager 2007 Management Packs for Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (including SP1). The Toolkit also includes user documentation for each of the Management Packs
The SharePoint Monitoring Toolkit helps you manage Microsoft® SharePoint® environments of all sizes with two new management packs for System Center Operations Manager 2007:
- Windows® SharePoint Services 3.0 Management Pack
- Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 Management Pack
These packs monitor the health state of the components in your SharePoint environment that affect performance and availability. When there is an issue that may cause service or performance degradation, Operations Manager 2007 uses the management packs to detect the issue, alert you to its existence, and facilitate diagnosis and corrective actions.
The management packs monitor:
- Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 related services (Timer, Tracing and Search)
- Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 related Events
- Web server applications such as Internet Information Services (IIS)
- IIS-related Events
- Microsoft SQL Server® database-related events
- WSS Server performance

- Extended rules
- New and improved reports
- Additional actions
- New views
- Elimination of backward compatibility dependencies
- Increased reliability
- Noise reduction through tuning and event suppression
- Thoroughly tested compatibility of management packs with:
