Fix maintenance Schedule replication on HA SQL for SCOM
With SCOM Always On sql architecture. Whenever a maintenance schedule is created it is not replicated to secondary DB. This requires manual effort with DB permissions to replicate the SQL agent job. The schedule is not effective until its replicated which eliminates the self service feature for end users. Not every one has DB permissions.

Path, MP, Class, GUIDs, etc. Columns Needed in Numerous Screens
- Groups: Add column for MP (where group is defined/stored)
- Groups: add column to view "total members"
- Group Explicit Members: Only the DisplayName of classes appear. There are many, many duplicate class names and it's nearly impossible to select the correct one. Add columns for MP and class Name.
- Subscriptions: add column to view "subscription giud"
- Performance View: when adding specific rules to a perf view only the DisplayName of the rules appear. Add columns for Name and MP.
- Management Pack/Alert Tuning: Add path information
- State Views: Add column for class Name and Monitoring…74 votes -

Design Scom to support Kusto language instead of SQL Query
Currently we are able to collect monitoring data, Audit through ACS or dashboard deployment, either by Scom Console or VSAE or other partner tools. Depending on the dashboard and customer skill, it's a struggle to create these tasks and many give up and move for a easier competitor monitoring tool.
With Kusto Language used by Azure Monitor, many customers had a good feedback because it's easier to create dasboards and query data. However some ones are restrict to use Cloud Solution due to company policy and prefer using on-premises solutions.
Another barrier for using SQL query is a dependence from…7 votes -

Create new channel for subscriptions - REST API
When creating a new subscription, it would be nice not to rely on custom scripts but have custom HTTP API webhook to send the alert to. Webhooks seem to be a standard way in 2019, and would give a nice refreshment to next iteration of SCOM.

Multi Select Alerts in Web Console
Can we please have the ability to select more than one alert in the Web Console?
At present (v1801), you can only select one update at a time
This makes changing the likes of the Resolution State time consuming if there are a few of them..

make SCOM Faster!!!
SCOM can be extremely slow and is a constant issue for our users, like embarrassingly slow...Not sure what it will take to improve the console speed but here are some suggestions:
Configure the views to be efficient out of the box.
Disable by default whatever is taking so long to load.
Re-design the database. More indexes.
Cache the views on the SCOM Console servers.
Make a better search function, so even if it is slow, users can quickly find what they are looking for.
Load pieces of the views at a time, like server name, then health state, then MM.…530 votes -

Auditing changes in SCOM
I have no way to know who made what changes in the SCOM environment. There are multiple admins and they change settings such as Install MPs/ Remove MPs/ Change Overrides/ Author new rules/ Change Admin settings/ Create new users/etc. There is never a way to know who did what.
This is a feature request to Audit all major changes to the SCOM environment.

Dynamic Application Discovery for creating Distributed Applications (Services)
Implementation of dynamic application discovery like former BlueStripe software and building the corresponding distributed application with all it's dependencies.
216 votesThanks for your suggestion and up-votes. This request is under review and we will keep this thread updated on developments about the integration.
Meanwhile, I have a question for everyone that requested this feature. Hypothetically speaking, “If” this feature will be available in SCOM console ONLY if you have the OMS addon, would you be willing to/able to use this feature? Do any of you have a limitation of not being able to use OMS along with your SCOM environment?

Alert object should always contain source server FQDN
The alert object does not always contain the source FQDN of the generating server. This property should be able to get by PowerShell. This would help building connectors using PowerShell / SMA etc.
