Appendix: Monitoring Pack Contents

Applies To: System Center 2012 - Operations Manager

The Operations Manager Monitoring Pack discovers the object types described in the following sections. Not all of the objects are automatically discovered. Use overrides to discover those objects that are not discovered automatically.

Important

Any workflow (rule, monitor, discovery, and so forth) that has “Deprecated” in its name should never be enabled.

Reports

To see the Operational Data Reporting reports, in the Operations console, click Reporting. In the Reporting pane, expand Reporting, and then click Microsoft ODR Report Library. The management pack includes the following reports:

  • Instance Space Report

    This report shows the number of instances of each class (for example, Exchange Servers) that are created in your management group. By default, this report needs no parameters, but it is possible to modify the start and end dates.

  • Management Group Report

    This report shows the operating system version used in the Operations Manager infrastructure (management servers). By default, this report needs no parameters, but it is possible to modify the start and end dates.

  • Management Packs Report

    This report shows the versions of each management pack that is installed in your environment. It also summarizes all the overrides you have defined in your environment, as well as custom rules and monitors you have authored. By default, this report needs no parameters, but it is possible to modify the start and end dates.

  • Most Common Alerts Report

    This report shows the most common alerts generated within the report period (by default one week). It also shows this data by management pack. By default, this report needs no parameters, but it is possible to modify the start and end dates.

  • Alerts Per Day Report

    This report shows the number of alerts generated per day from each rule or monitor that alerted within the report period (by default one week). By default, this report needs no parameters, but it is possible to modify the start and end dates.
