SCOMathon 2022
Yet another SCOMathon done and dusted! What started as an initiative born out of the need to connect and share knowledge in the period where live events were impossible, has now blossomed into a staple within the SCOM community.
This year, we had 26 insightful sessions and 3 expert panel discussions covering everything from the place of SCOM in the modern monitoring landscape, to the possibility of extending SCOM into the Cloud, the much-anticipated SCOM 2022, interesting use cases, best practices and much more.
Hundreds of SCOManiacs turned up and 26 experts shared their knowledge!
Charity donations
Thanks to you lot, we managed to raise a total of $4,223 for the British Red Cross Ukraine Fund. Cheers to GripMatix and NiCE for sharing in the donation contributions with us. Hurray!

And of course, we cannot be more grateful to the SCOM Community and all of its knowledgeable experts for taking the time to come together in this big knowledge sharing initiative. We hope you have learnt plenty!
What the attendees had to say:
Scheduled Tuning? Didn’t even know it existed. SCOMATHON just paid for itself 🙂
Good stuff there!
Thank you for an awesome event – the future is coming and it looks good for SCOM as long as you are prepared to give it some effort 😀 Special thanks to Cookdown and all presenters
Awesome job as always Bob. Thanks for the info
Nice one Bob – very informative session buddy 🙂
Nice set of examples of how to tune! Using names on websites and databases and such, or registry keys, or easytune… so many options. Creativity works!
Thank you for a great session 🙂
We say “Richness” of SCOM – I have a colleague whose job title is “De-cloudification Expert’ – And suddenly SCOM is (re)appearing… Sometimes I wonder… if he’s ahead of the game?
Well done as always, thx
You get a badge, YOU get a badge. EVERYONE gets a badge! 😉
Awesome future for SCOM!
Another year, another awesome SCOMATHON! Thank you Bruce!
Till next time
And that’s all for SCOMathon 2022 folks! Stay in touch, keep on SCOM-ing, and we’ll see you at HackaSCOM 2022!
