Example

The following example shows how to get the computers that are running Windows operating systems in a management group and how to display the health state and number of alerts for each computer.

using Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement;
using Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Common;
using Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Configuration;
using Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Monitoring;

namespace SDKSamples
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            
            ManagementGroup managementGroup = new ManagementGroup("localhost");
            ManagementPackClass windowsComputerClass = managementGroup.EntityTypes.GetClass(SystemMonitoringClass.WindowsComputer);

            IObjectReader<PartialMonitoringObject> reader = managementGroup.EntityObjects.GetObjectReader<PartialMonitoringObject>(windowsComputerClass, ObjectQueryOptions.Default);
            List<PartialMonitoringObject> windowsComputerObjects = new List<PartialMonitoringObject>();
            windowsComputerObjects.AddRange(reader);

            foreach (PartialMonitoringObject windowsComputerObject in windowsComputerObjects)
            {
                ReadOnlyCollection<MonitoringAlert> alerts;

                alerts = windowsComputerObject.GetMonitoringAlerts();

                Console.WriteLine("{0} - State: {1} - Number of alerts: {2}",
                                  windowsComputerObject.DisplayName,
                                  windowsComputerObject.HealthState.ToString(),
                                  alerts.Count);

                foreach (MonitoringAlert alert in alerts)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("{0}", alert.Name);
                }
            }            
        }        
    }
}

Remarks

The PartialMonitoringObject class is the base class for the MonitoringObject class and the PartialMonitoringObjectGroup class.

A partial monitoring object is an object for which only the standard set of monitoring object properties is defined. Any custom properties of the object's class are omitted. Because the Operations Manager database omits custom property values when responding to the query, using partial monitoring objects decreases the load on the database and improves query performance.

For more information about this class, see Monitoring Object and Partial Monitoring Object Comparison.
