UNIFYMonitor Branded Alert Emails
UNIFYMonitor was developed to act as a branded portal to host content driven by PowerBI and Azure. While working on a client who has requirements for alert monitoring through UNIFYMonitor it was raised that the alerts we deliver to the client are branded and sent from Microsoft Azure. It would be preferable if the alerts, like our dashboards, are branded as UNIFY products.
The Log Analytics team have stated (here) that they plan on incorporating email/sms templates into the platform; however, there is no stated timeline or information on what level of customisation will be available.
Alerts have several forwarding options when triggered, including the ability to send json to Azure Functions, making it relatively easy to send data to any forwarding service we may configure/develop.
In the case of this project work we plan on using Ivanti as a tool to reformat and forward the alerts we send via Azure Log Analytics.

AMS should incorporate the FIM/MIM health check reporting
AMS should incorporate the FIM/MIM reporting currently used for health checks on support contracts.

UNIFYMonitor will provide an SDK for end services to integrate.

http get data agent
Please consider creating a data agent that performs http get(s) and pipes the json response to ingress api.
Use case I'm looking at is Azure DevOps, retrieving repositories; then for each repository retrieving the most recent commit date.

Error occurred while attempting to get errors for alert trigger <triggerID>
Forgot to add this above but when reload the page, I get the following error for every pre-existing alert:
[GTE-504]Error occurred while attempting to get errors for alert trigger <triggerID>
Thanks

Not all Test Alert emails are being sent
Hi All,
I'm currently experiencing an issue across 2 accounts in Monitor Prod, whereby the test alerts are sometimes being delayed (sometimes by up to 5 minutes) or not being sent at all. So far I have experienced the delayed alerts on recently created alerts, and no test alert emails being received by alerts being received from pre existing or imported alerts (imported as of last Wednesday).
I cannot see any errors in the error log on nor can see any issues in send the request in the network panel of my browser, suspect something might not be quite right with these alerts.
If you need any more information just let me know
Many Thanks

GDPR Privacy Notice & Process
UNIFYMonitor should have a GDPR process defined for access requests and 'right to be forgotten'.
This will require a website banner regarding cookies and data storage, a link to the UNIFY privacy policy, as well as a process for dealing with access and forget requests, around metrics and audit logs.

WCAG
One of our customers (UNE) has advised on the time frames for UNIFYMonitor (MIM Dasboards & Alerts) to be WCAG compatible. Could you please advise on the timeframes / next steps.

Customer-focused Ivanti Open tickets report for Dashboard
The former hand-crafted MIM Health Check report used to incorporate listings of both Open and Recently Closed JIRA tickets. Reports listing the same data, with Ivanti links direct to the issue, would be useful additions to the PowerBI reporting suite.

Thanks for the suggestion Bob. I've added Ivanti as a potential stakeholder for future integrations as we progress the new project.

PowerShell LogWriter to write Broker logs directly to OMS for real time MIM alerting/monitoring
Presently the email logwriter is used at 2 sites to write ERROR level alerts to designated UNIFY O365 distribution groups. However these would be better served as JSON alert records written to OMS in the identical format of the corresponding Health Check JSON file. This way they could drive both (selective) OMS alerting as well as (selective) dashboard publishing.
I'm thinking of implementing this myself, but I can see a broader benefit of consistent automated real-time montitoring across all Broker sites (particularly with Event Broker, which is now a prerequisite for ALL UNIFY MIM sites.

Hi Bob,
Identity Broker v5.2 includes the Azure Log Analytics Log Writer and so can do this out-of-the-box. The next release of Event Broker (after v4.0) should also include this log writer.
Please see the latest comment on the linked ticket for an example PowerShell script for use in lower versions of the two products.

MA Connector Errors Drill-down reporting capability
As part of a recent engagement at a customer, where consolidated reports of all export and import (sync) errors per MIM connector were required to support a MIM sync config deployment, a new script MIMErrors.ps1 has been developed to run selected SQL reports from a library AllSQL.xml. A separate HTML application (MIMErrors.hta) has always allowed these reports to be run interactively, displaying the results in an HTML table. However the script version was required for the customer due to problems running an HTA on their host. I have checked the above files into a new subfolder in the UNIFY Solutions.Tools repository.
As a result of this development, the script could now be adapted for inclusion in the Run-HealthCheck.ps1 scheduled task ... either as a custom extension or as a standard option with the -FIMSync switch, and generate JSON data instead of HTML files, for consumption in OMS/PowerBI. These could then be used to drive new reports, including 2 specific ones (ExportErrors and ImportErrors) to support drill-down capability for the existing MA Connector Errors report.
Some things to consider:
- Frequency - at least two customers run the healthcheck report hourly, and this may be overkill ... a separate suggestion is being made to support the running of this script at different frequencies for different switches
- Security - a check would need to be made before implementing a report that identified individual CS/MV objects to make sure that this isn't in violation of any security constraints that need to be observed for each specific customer
- Approach - SQL may not be the best way of retrieving the data, e.g use of the https://github.com/lithnet/miis-powershell PS module may be preferable in an architectural sense because the FIMSynchronizationService database is not strictly designed as a reporting source and is prone to locking if queries are not constructed explicitly to avoid this possibility.
- Target audience - this would generally only be for SD resources who need to be able troubleshoot specific issues without needing to VPN to the customer site to investigate

Hey Bob,
This item will be revisited with the new UNIFYMonitor project, where the data collection capability will be revisited to allow functionality as suggested above.
