How to Display Performance Collection Rules
Applies To: Operations Manager 2007, Operations Manager 2007 R2
To display performance collection rules, use the script in this section. This script works for the majority of monitors. It creates a comma-separated values (.csv) file that includes the following columns and can be viewed by using Microsoft Office Excel.
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
WriteAction |
Contains information about where the performance counter is written. |
WriteToDB or CollectionPerformanceData |
Writes to the Operations Manager database. |
WriteToDW or CollectPerfDataWarehouse |
Writes to the data warehouse. |
WC |
Stores baseline data for a performance counter into the operational database. |
To display the performance collection rules present in the management group, run the following script:
function GetPerfCounterName ([String] $configuration)
{
$config = [xml] ("<config>" + $configuration + "</config>")
return ($config.Config.ObjectName + "\" + $config.Config.CounterName)
}
function GetFrequency ([String] $configuration)
{
$config = [xml] ("<config>" + $configuration + "</config>")
$frequency = $config.Config.Frequency;
if($frequency -eq $null)
{
$frequency = $config.Config.IntervalSeconds;
}
return ($frequency)
}
function GetDisplayName($performanceRule)
{
if($performanceRule.DisplayName -eq $null)
{
return ($performanceRule.Name);
}
else
{
return ($performanceRule.DisplayName);
}
}
function GetWriteActionNames($performanceRule)
{
$writeActions = "";
foreach($writeAction in $performanceRule.WriteActionCollection)
{
$writeActions += " " + $writeAction.Name;
}
return ($writeActions);
}
$perf_collection_rules = get-rule -criteria:"Category='PerformanceCollection'"
$perf_collection_rules | select-object @{name="Type";expression={foreach-object {(Get-MonitoringClass -id:$_.Target.Id).DisplayName}}},@{name="RuleDisplayName";expression={foreach-object {GetDisplayName $_}}} ,@{name="CounterName";expression={foreach-object {GetPerfCounterName $_.DataSourceCollection[0].Configuration}}},@{name="Frequency";expression={foreach-object {GetFrequency $_.DataSourceCollection[0].Configuration}}},@{name="WriteActions";expression={foreach-object {GetWriteActionNames $_}}} | sort Type,RuleDisplayName,CounterName | export-csv "c:\perf_collection_rules.csv"
