The SCOM Pulse Alert Center in dark mode: filters for severity, type, resolution state and management pack down the left, and 18 active alerts grouped by severity — 6 critical, 12 warning — in a sortable grid with columns for server, object, alert, type, state, owner and age.

Over the years since 2007. SCOM Pulse is newly released and these logos do not refer to it.

Building SCOM tools since 2007

Investigate alerts and take action.

See why an alert fired, read the management pack knowledge, and explore the affected object’s health.

Acknowledge, assign, and comment from the alert page. Put an object into maintenance mode, create an override, or run a task. Explore performance history and dashboards to understand what needs attention.

Understand what needs attention

See the alert explanation, management pack knowledge, and related open alerts together.

  • Alert Center with saved views
  • Inline Health Explorer
  • Comments, ownership and bulk actions

Real administration, not just a read-only view

Discover Windows computers and push the agent to them, with live progress per computer.

  • Repair, uninstall, or reassign to another management server
  • Approve pending agents
  • Import management packs
  • Edit groups, user roles, Run As bindings and notification subscriptions

The people who only need to look something up

Service owners, on-call engineers and application teams get a URL instead of a console install.

  • Read-only shareable dashboard links — a link, not an account
  • Sign-in is Windows Authentication
  • Scoped by the SCOM user roles people already have

A look at the product

Real workflows, not a feature list

Screenshots from a live management group, in Pulse’s dark mode.

The SCOM Pulse Operations Overview dashboard: tiles for open critical alerts, open warning alerts, unowned alerts, new alerts and percentage of healthy computers, above a needs-attention-now list beside a 24-hour alerts-raised chart, then open alerts by owner beside a noisiest-objects ranking, and a computer state grid.
Operations Overview. What is open, what nobody has picked up, what is unhealthy and which objects are the noisiest.
The Performance tab of a Windows computer in SCOM Pulse, showing a grid of time-series charts for module count, workflow count, agent processor utilization, send queue size, free disk space and CPU utilization, with range buttons for 6 hours, 24 hours, 3 days, 7 days, 30 days, 90 days and 1 year.
Performance. Live counters from the management group, plus historic ranges out to a year when the data warehouse is enabled. Pin the ones you care about.
An alert detail page in SCOM Pulse showing the alert description, a "why this fired" explanation of the monitor and its lifecycle, the management pack knowledge with summary, configuration and causes, and a right-hand column with assignment, next steps, comments and related open alerts.
Alert investigation. Why it fired, the management pack knowledge, the related alerts, and the next step — on one page.
The Health tab of the Windows computer PRINT01 in SCOM Pulse: 26 monitors with three rollups unhealthy. Entity Health and Availability are critical because the Windows Computer Role Health Rollup is critical; the tree continues into the related PRINT01 and PRINT01 (SMB) objects down to the critical Server Service: Firewall Status monitor. Each row names the object it belongs to and has an actions menu.
Health Explorer, to the real cause. PRINT01 is red because a service on a related object is down. The tree follows the dependency into that object, and every row names the object it belongs to.

Administration

Deploy Windows agents from your browser

Name the Windows computers or discover them in a domain, choose the management server and its failover, pick the account that installs, and push. Each computer reports back as it goes. If an installation fails, Pulse displays the error returned by the management server.

  • Discover computers in a domain, or paste a list
  • Repair, uninstall, and reassign to another management server
  • Approve or reject pending agents, and toggle agent proxy
  • Management packs, groups, user roles, Run As and subscriptions

Windows agents only. UNIX/Linux agent push and uninstall, agent upgrades and network-device discovery stay in the Operations console — the full list is on the product page.

The Install agents wizard in SCOM Pulse: a five-step flow for computers, management servers, options, account and install, showing a box for computer names, a primary management server with optional failover servers, options to verify each computer during discovery and enable agent proxy, and a choice between the management server action account and another domain account.
Install agents on Windows computers. Up to 200 per push; five or more asks for a typed confirmation.

How it fits

It goes on a server you already have

Install SCOM Pulse on a Windows management server or a Windows server with the Operations console installed. Configure its connection to your management group, then open Pulse in your browser.

  1. Run the MSI. Signed, and it configures nothing on its own.
  2. Fill in one Configure window. The management server and a service account.
  3. Open the site. A 30-day trial starts automatically — there is no key to request.

Focused utilities

Three single-purpose tools for teams that need one job done well rather than a whole console. They are sold and licensed separately from Pulse.

SCOM Maintenance Mode Scheduler

Recurring and one-off maintenance windows for computers and groups, with group-based scheduling. The focused, lower-cost option if maintenance windows are the only thing you need.

Learn more →

Alert Update Connector Pro

Bi-directional alert synchronisation between SCOM and your ITSM system, with workflow automation over resolution states.

Learn more →

ServiceNow Connector Pro

SCOM to ServiceNow incident creation, enrichment and lifecycle management.

Learn more →

Pulse also schedules maintenance — which one do you want? Pulse covers maintenance windows as one of many workflows, alongside alerts, health, performance and administration. The Maintenance Mode Scheduler does that one job at a lower price. If scheduling windows is the whole requirement, the Scheduler is the cheaper fit; if your team also lives in the Operations console all day, Pulse replaces more of that day. More on how they compare.
