The Splunk Add-on for Microsoft SCOM allows a Splunk software administrator to collect data from Microsoft System Center Operations Manager using PowerShell scripts. The add-on polls data from 54 built-in objects in SCOM, including alerts, events, tasks, network devices, management and performance settings. This add-on provides the inputs and CIM-compatible knowledge to use with other Splunk apps, such as Splunk Enterprise Security and the Splunk App for PCI Compliance and Splunk IT Service Intelligence. This add-on must be installed on a Windows instance of Splunk Enterprise for data collection. The add-on is platform independent for indexers and search heads.
