Recording browser session in Ops Manager 2007 RC2

  • Article

After you install Ops Manager 2007 RC2 you might experience an issue with recording a browser session through IE (for HTTP/HTTPS monitoring). The buttons are just grayed out:

This is an issue with some time zone settings (east of GMT) in RC2. Set them to Pacific time or anything west of GMT and the recorder launches properly. This problem should be fixed by RTM timeframe.

A really cool feature in the new HTTP request monitoring is that you can use all sorts of authentication (Integrated, basic etc) by providing runas accounts in Ops Manager to run those test sequences. Besides you can monitor SSL sites which was near impossible with WSS MP in MOM 2005.
