Applies To: System Center Operations Manager 2007
Note
This exercise has been updated to include a procedure for Visual Studio Authoring Extensions in the latest version of the Management Pack Authoring Guide on the TechNet Wiki.
Each module in an Operations Manager 2007 management pack will be one of four specific types as detailed in the following sections. Understanding the definition of each type and their role in different workflows is critical to designing and creating custom monitoring scenarios.
In This Section
- Data Source Modules
Collect information at the start of a workflow and send that information into the data stream.
- Probe Action Modules
Collect information in response to a trigger and send that information into the data stream.
- Condition Detection Modules
Filter data, map data to an alternate type, or consolidate multiple data streams.
- Write Action Modules
Accept a single input from the data stream and make a change to system state.
