Applies To: System Center 2012 R2 Operations Manager, System Center 2012 - Operations Manager, System Center 2012 SP1 - Operations Manager
Event monitors in System Center 2012 – Operations Manager use one of the event data sources to identify a particular event that indicates an issue. As soon as the specific data source that holds the required information is identified, the logic used to determine different health states must be determined. In addition to the logic that indicates whether an error condition has occurred, additional logic must be defined to determine when the state should be changed back to a healthy condition.
The different kinds of logic that can be used to detect an error condition by using events are listed in the following table. See the individual topic for each condition for details on how its logic is implemented. As noted in the table, some logic can only be used with Windows events.
