Prerequisites for the Azure Local SCOM Management Pack
Work through this page before importing the Azure Local management packs.
Development only
The Azure Local SCOM management packs are not publicly downloadable and are not released for production use. Treat everything below as development guidance.
The dependency tables on this page are generated directly from the management pack source by tools/scom/Export-MpDependencies.ps1, so they cannot drift from what the packs actually require.
Summary
| # | Prerequisite | Why it's needed | Blocking / Recommended |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | SCOM 2019, 2022, or 2025 management group with the Operations console | Target platform. | Blocking |
| 2 | Data Warehouse role installed and healthy | The Monitoring and Reporting packs reference the data warehouse libraries. | Blocking |
| 3 | SCOM agent deployed and healthy on every Azure Local node to be monitored | Discovery is agent-hosted. | Blocking |
| 4 | Base SCOM management packs | Referenced by all packs in this solution. Present in any default installation. | Auto / no action |
| 5 | Azure Local cluster deployed and operational | The packs discover an existing cluster; they do not deploy or configure one. | Blocking |
External management pack prerequisites
No external management pack prerequisites. The packs in this solution depend only on management packs present in a default SCOM installation.
Nothing to download
Unlike the Hyper-V solution, the Azure Local packs reference only management packs that ship with SCOM. There are no Microsoft or vendor packs to obtain separately — provided your management group is a standard installation with the Data Warehouse role.
What each pack requires
| # | Management pack | External prerequisites |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | HybridSolutionsCloud.AzureLocal.Library | none beyond the SCOM base packs |
| 2 | HybridSolutionsCloud.AzureLocal.Discovery | none beyond the SCOM base packs |
| 3 | HybridSolutionsCloud.AzureLocal.Monitoring | none beyond the SCOM base packs |
| 4 | HybridSolutionsCloud.AzureLocal.Presentation | none beyond the SCOM base packs |
| 5 | HybridSolutionsCloud.AzureLocal.Reporting | none beyond the SCOM base packs |
Import order
Import in this order so that no pack is imported before the packs it references.
1. HybridSolutionsCloud.AzureLocal.Library
2. HybridSolutionsCloud.AzureLocal.Discovery
3. HybridSolutionsCloud.AzureLocal.Monitoring
4. HybridSolutionsCloud.AzureLocal.Presentation
5. HybridSolutionsCloud.AzureLocal.ReportingChoosing between SCOM and Azure Monitor
Azure Local can be monitored through SCOM (this page) or through an Azure Monitor health model. The two tracks have very different prerequisites — the Azure Monitor track requires Arc registration, Insights, and a range of Azure-side configuration.
If you have not yet decided which track to use, read the Azure Monitor prerequisites as well, then see the comparison.
Pre-flight checklist
- [ ] SCOM 2019, 2022, or 2025; Data Warehouse role healthy
- [ ] Agents deployed and healthy on all Azure Local nodes
- [ ] Azure Local cluster deployed and operational
- [ ] Development-only status understood — no public package is available
