Business Critical monitoring raises aggregated alerts when there is a substantial week-over-week increase in the number of problems detected. You can change the alerting levels for the management pack by overriding the alert rules. For more information and for instructions on how to override a rule, see How to Monitor Using Overrides (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=117777) in the Operations Manager 2007 Help.
The management pack does not raise alerts for minor degradations in the health of individual computers. To examine the health of individual computers, use the computer’s health explorer.
Reports use aggregations in the reporting server to optimize the rendering of the reports. For descriptions of the reports contained in this management pack, see Appendix: Reports.
