SCOM 2012 R2: Management Pack Object Definitions

  • Article

The Management Packs Objects node, in the Authoring pane of the Operations Console, is used to create objects that help define how to monitor objects in OpsMgr. This node also displays the monitoring settings of imported Management Packs.

Following are the few objects listed in the leaf nodes of the Management Pack Objects node.

Attribute: Displays a list of attributes for each object type in the Management Group. Attributes contain information that further defines an object in OpsMgr.

Monitor: Displays a list of monitors sorted by object type. Monitors continually assess the condition of specified objects. As a result of this assessment, a monitor can also generate alerts and change the health state of that object.

Object Discoveries: Displays a list of discovery objects currently in use in the Management Group. A discovery is used to dynamically find objects on the network that need to be monitored.

Rule: Displays a list of rules sorted by object type. Rules collect data, such as event information, generated by managed objects.

View: Displays a list of available views in the Management Group. Views display a particular aspect of monitoring settings. The displayed information in a view is the result of a query to the Operational database.
