"Microsoft recently announced it will deprecate System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) Management Packs (MPs) for SQL Server Reporting Services, Power BI Report Server,and SQL Server Analysis Services. While this affects a relatively small subset of SQL Server users, the move could force some organizations into monitoring solutions that expose their server deployments to Microsoft's licensing auditors, one analyst pointed out. The affected SCOM management packs will remain available until January 2027, after which they'll no longer be supported."
"Microsoft said the deprecation means existing management packs would continue to function in SCOM 2019 and SCOM 2022, but no new features, fixes, or security updates would be provided. And compatibility with later versions can not be guaranteed. The software giant recommended affected users plan their migration to Azure-based monitoring solutions using Azure Monitor, Azure Arc and Log Analytics. This creates "a unified alternative that offers centralized telemetry ingestion, alerting, performance monitoring, and dashboarding for hybrid and on‑premises environments," the vendor claimed."

Microsoft recommends migrating to Azure Monitor, Azure Arc and Log Analytics for centralized telemetry, alerting and dashboarding across hybrid and on‑premises environments. The change may push some organizations toward monitoring solutions that expose server deployments to Microsoft licensing auditors; third‑party on‑premises alternatives are suggested.
