Configuring Status Summarizers

Status Summarizer configuration enables you to determine the specific configuration of each status summarizer. You configure status summarizers by navigating to Status Summarizer in the SMS Administrator console.

Where?

Systems Management Server>Site Database (site code - site name)>Site Hierarchy>site code - site name>Site Settings>Status Summarizer

After you click Status Summarizer, you can select Site Systems Status Summarizer, Component Status Summarizer, or Advertisement Status Summarizer from the details pane.

You can disable any of the summarizers that might not be relevant at any particular time. For example, if you do not intend to send advertisements for an extended period of time, you might want to disable the Advertisement Status Summarizer. However, most of the time, you should leave your summarizers enabled because they provide valuable data.

Another feature includes both replicating a summary to the parent site and determining the replication priority. These are powerful features that help administrators at parent sites that monitor status at child sites. For component status and site system status, you can configure the thresholds SMS uses to determine when to report a warning or an error icon in the SMS Administrator console.
