How to Display Operations Manager Data
Applies To: Operations Manager 2007 R2, Operations Manager 2007 SP1, System Center Operations Manager 2007
By using the Operations Manager class libraries, you can programmatically access operations data that is stored in the Operations Manager database (such as alert, event, and performance data). You can use criteria classes to narrow the search results when you are accessing operations data. For example, you can use the MonitoringEventCriteria class to narrow the search results for event data and the MonitoringAlertCriteria class to narrow the search results for alert data.
Example
The following example demonstrates how to display information about health service alerts that are stored in the Operations Manager database. The example also shows how to display information about stored events that are numbered 187.
/// <summary>
/// Displays information about health service alerts
/// that have occurred in the management group.
