Applies to: Forefront Protection for SharePoint
Topic Last Modified: 2010-05-17
This section provides detailed procedures and scripts that allow you to display rules and other information about the management packs you import.
For more information about a monitor and the associated override values, see the knowledge for the monitor. To view knowledge for a monitor
-
In the Operations Console, click the Authoring button.
-
Expand Management Pack Objects, and then click Monitors.
-
In the Monitors pane, expand the targets until you reach the monitor level. Alternatively, you can use the Search box to find a particular monitor.
-
Click the monitor, and in the Monitors pane, click View knowledge.
-
Click the Product Knowledge tab.
To use the Forefront Management Shell to display a list of outputs for a management pack's monitors and overrides, use the following procedure. To display monitors for a management pack
-
In the Command Shell, type the following command get-monitor -managementPack name.mp | export-csv filename
-
A .csv file is created. The .csv file can be opened in Excel.
Note: In Excel, you may be required to specify that the .csv file is a text file.
To display overrides for a management pack, use the following procedure. To display overrides for a management pack
-
In the Command Shell, type the following command get-override -managementPack name.mp | export-csv filename
-
A .csv file is created. The .csv file can be opened in Excel.Note:
In Excel, you may be required to specify that the .csv file is a text file.
For example, this command displays the overrides for one of the core management packs:
get-override -managementPack Microsoft.SystemCenter.OperationsManager.Internal.mp | export-csv "c:\overrides.csv"
Use the following procedure to display a list of rules for the management packs that you imported. The list of rules can be viewed in Excel.
To display management pack rules
-
In your management server, click Programs, and then click System Center.
-
Click Command Shell.
-
In the command shell window, type the following command:
get-rule | select-object @{Name="MP";Expression={ foreach-object {$_.GetManagementPack().DisplayName }}},DisplayName | sort-object -property MP | export-csv "c:\rules.csv" -
A .csv file is created. The .csv file can be opened in Excel.Note:
In Excel, you may be required to specify that the .csv file is a text file.
To display monitor thresholds, use the script described in this section. This script works for the majority of monitors. It creates a .csv file with the following columns and can be viewed using Excel:
|
Column |
Description |
|
Type |
The type of objects to which the monitor is targeted |
|
DisplayName |
The display name of the monitor |
|
Threshold |
The threshold used by the monitor |
|
AlertOnState |
Determines if the monitor generates an alert when the state changes |
|
AutoResolveAlert |
Determines if the generated alert will be automatically resolved when the monitor state goes back to green |
|
AlertSeverity |
The severity of the generated alert |
Run the following script to create the .csv file that displays the monitor thresholds:
function GetThreshold ([String] $configuration)
{
$config = [xml] ("<config>" + $configuration + "</config>")
$threshold = $config.Config.Threshold
if($threshold -eq $null)
{
$threshold = $config.Config.MemoryThreshold
}
if($threshold -eq $null)
{
$threshold = $config.Config.CPUPercentageThreshold
}
if($threshold -eq $null)
{
if($config.Config.Threshold1 -ne $null -and $config.Config.Threshold2 -ne $null)
{
$threshold = "first threshold is: " + $config.Config.Threshold1 + " second threshold is: " + $config.Config.Threshold2
}
}
if($threshold -eq $null)
{
if($config.Config.ThresholdWarnSec -ne $null -and $config.Config.ThresholdErrorSec -ne $null)
{
$threshold = "warning threshold is: " + $config.Config.ThresholdWarnSec + " error threshold is: " + $config.Config.ThresholdErrorSec
}
}
if($threshold -eq $null)
{
if($config.Config.LearningAndBaseliningSettings -ne $null)
{
$threshold = "no threshold (baseline monitor)"
}
}
return $threshold
}
$perfMonitors = get-monitor -Criteria:"IsUnitMonitor=1 and Category='PerformanceHealth'"
$perfMonitors | select-object @{name="Target";expression={foreach-object {(Get-MonitoringClass -Id:$_.Target.Id).DisplayName}}},DisplayName, @{name="Threshold";expression={foreach-object {GetThreshold $_.Configuration}}}, @{name="AlertOnState";expression={foreach-object {$_.AlertSettings.AlertOnState}}}, @{name="AutoResolveAlert";expression={foreach-object {$_.AlertSettings.AutoResolve}}}, @{name="AlertSeverity";expression={foreach-object {$_.AlertSettings.AlertSeverity}}} | sort Target, DisplayName | export-csv "c:\monitor_thresholds.csv"
To display performance collection rules, use the script in this section. This script works for the majority of monitors. It creates a .csv file with the following columns and can be viewed using 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"
