vMA - SNMP & Syslog

We had a requirement to ship Syslog to SCOM 2007

Using the vMA I configured all our Hosts with the following SNMP configuration:

1. Add community string - vicfg-snmp --server <host-name> -c <community-string>
2. Add notification target - vicfg-snmp --server <host-name> --targets <ip-address-of-receiver>@162<community-string>
3. Enable SNMP service - vicfg-snmp --server <host-name> -E

For the syslog component open a connection to the server via the VI Client:

1. Go to Home > Inventory > Hosts & Clusters
2. Go to the Host you want and choose the Configuration tab
3. Software > Advanced Settings
4. Syslog > Remote
5. In Syslog.Remote.Hostname and the FQDN of your Syslog server

The rest I left to the SCOM Admin!
