Disable Performance Data

  • Article

Applies To: Operations Manager 2007 R2

To reduce network traffic or to improve performance on servers with slow WAN links, you can use overrides to disable the rules that collect performance data.

When you disable a rule that collects performance data, the reports that rely on the rule's data will not work.

To disable performance data

  1. In the Operations console, on the Go menu, click Authoring.

  2. In the navigation pane, expand Management Pack Objects, and then click Rules.

  3. Under Rules, click the rule that you want to stop collecting performance data for.

  4. On the Operations console toolbar, click Overrides and then point to Override the Rule. You can choose to override this rule for objects of a specific type or for all objects within a group. After you choose which group of object type to override, the Override Properties dialog box opens, enabling you to view the default settings contained in this monitor.

  5. In the Override Properties dialog box, select the Override check box that corresponds to the Enabled parameter.

  6. In the Override Setting column, click False.

  7. In the Select destination management pack list, click the appropriate management pack in which to store the override, or create a new unsealed management pack by clicking New.

    Note

    By default, when you create a management pack object, disable a rule or monitor, or create an override, Operations Manager saves the setting to the Default Management Pack. As a best practice, you should create a separate management pack for each sealed management pack you want to customize, rather than saving your customized settings to the Default Management Pack.

  8. When you complete your changes, click OK.
