[<CommonParameters>]Description
The Get-SCOMMonitor cmdlet retrieves monitors in System Center 2016 - Operations Manager. In Operations Manager, monitors define logic for determining the health of an object.
Examples
Example 1: Retrieve a monitor by using a name
PS C:\>Get-SCOMMonitor -Name "System.Health*"This command retrieves all monitors whose names begin with the string "System.Health".
Example 2: Retrieve a monitor by using a display name
PS C:\>Get-SCOMMonitor -DisplayName "*Performance*"This command retrieves all monitors whose display names contain the string "Performance".
Example 3: Retrieve monitors for a management pack
PS C:\>Get-SCOMManagementPack -DisplayName "System Center Core Library" | Get-SCOMMonitorThis command retrieves the management pack that has the display name of System Center Core Library, and then passes the management pack object to the Get-SCOMMonitor cmdlet by using the pipeline operator (|). The Get-SCOMMonitor cmdlet gets all monitors for the management pack object.
Example 4: Retrieve monitors from a management pack
PS C:\>$MPFile = "C:\Program Files\System Center Operations Manager 2007\Microsoft.SystemCenter.2007.mp"
PS C:\> Get-SCOMMonitor -ManagementPack $MPFileThis example retrieves monitors in a management pack.
The first command gets the path to a management pack file and stores the value in the variable named $MPFile.
The second command uses the Get-SCOMMonitor cmdlet with the ManagementPack parameter to get the monitors from the management pack.
Example 5: Retrieve monitors by display name
PS C:\>$Instances = Get-SCOMClass -DisplayName "*health*" | Get-SCOMClassInstance
PS C:\> Get-SCOMMonitor -Instance $InstancesThis example retrieves monitors by display name.
The first command gets all classes that contain "health" in their display names, and then uses the pipeline operator (|) to pass the class objects to the Get-SCOMClassInstance cmdlet. The Get-SCOMClassInstance cmdlet gets the instance for each class, and then stores the results in the $Instances variable.
The second command gets the monitors for the class instances stored in the $Instances variable.
Example 6: Retrieve monitors by using a target class
PS C:\>Get-SCOMMonitor -Target (Get-SCOMClass -DisplayName *health*)This example retrieves monitors by using a target class.
This command gets the monitors that have target classes that include "health" in their display names.
Example 7: Retrieve a monitor by using an ID
PS C:\>Get-SCOMMonitor -Id 7413b06b-a95b-4ae3-98f2-dac9ff76dabdThis command retrieves the monitor that has the ID 7413b06b-a95b-4ae3-98f2-dac9ff76dabd.
