Nomad can send status messages through Configuration Manager based on specific download events which appear in its deployment status. They are provided mainly for advanced troubleshooting purposes, or for custom reporting solutions. From v7.1 onwards, they are no longer required for the Nomad Dashboard which now gets its status events directly via the Platform Content Distribution feature. However, you may have custom reporting in Configuration Manger that also use these messages, and you can configure this setting accordingly for this purpose.

These messages are controlled by the StatusMsgEvents registry value. This is a REG_SZ string data type and the format of the parameter must be a 64-bit value. Status messages are only sent when there is an active deployment.

Warning

Status message events should be used with caution as they could impact your Configuration Manager environment when scaled up to tens of thousands of machines.

For example, to set the request started, request completed, started copy and master changed events, update the StatusMsgEvents registry value to 0x80002060.

SNO_EVT_FINALSTATS notes

For success reporting, this message provides feedback on the status of the download. For example, it can show how much data was received using multicast as opposed to peer-to-peer copying. Turning this message on creates an extra status message per machine for each deployment. The format of the status message is:

Evt_FinalStats MD100067 1 170 59195038 170 59195038 0 59195038 0 0

Configuration Manager status messages are made up of insertion strings. The strings for the final stats event are:

InstrStr0

Nomad event string (internal reference)

N/A

InstrStr1

Package Id and Package version

MD100067 1

InstrStr2

Total number of files in package

170

InstrStr3

Total number of package bytes

59195038

InstrStr4

Number of files which are cached

170

InstrStr5

Bytes which are cached

59195038

InstrStr6

Bytes coped from a peer agent (P2P)

0

InstrStr7

Bytes copied from the DP

59195038

InstrStr8

Bytes received via local multicast

0

InstrStr9

Bytes received from a central multicast

0

If the package is already cached and is re-deployed with an unchanged package version, the final stats message will not be re-sent.
