Enable Recoveries

Applies To: Operations Manager 2007

The following monitors have recovery tasks that are disabled by default:

  • The Windows Management Instrumentation Service monitor sets state as unhealthy when the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) service is not running

    Recovery: If enabled, the recovery task for this monitor will attempt to automatically restart the WMI service when the monitor state is unhealthy.

  • The Relationships between Agents and Management Servers Monitor monitor sets state as unhealthy when an agent is detected to have more than one relationship to a management server, which can cause data corruption and prevent the configuration service from generating configuration for the full management group.

    Recovery: If enabled, the recovery task for this monitor remove unnecessary relationships between agents and management servers.
