Examples

Example 1: Enable discoveries for a class

This example enables discoveries for a specified class. The Enable-SCOMDiscovery cmdlet saves an override in a specified management pack.

The first command uses the Get-SCOMManagementPack cmdlet to get management pack objects that have the specified display name, and passes them to the Where-Object cmdlet by using the pipeline operator. That cmdlet drops any sealed management packs. For more information, type Get-Help Where-Object. The command stores all unsealed management packs in the $MP variable.

The second command uses the Get-SCOMClass cmdlet to get classes that have the specified display name, and then stores them in the $Class variable.

The third command uses the Get-SCOMDiscovery cmdlet to get discovery objects that have display names that contain the string rule, and then stores them in the $Discovery variable.

The fourth command enables the discoveries. The $Discovery variable contains objects that represented discoveries. The command specifies the class object stored in the $Class variable. The cmdlet saves the override in the management pack represented by the object in the $MP variable. The command uses the Enforce parameter; therefore the cmdlet sets the Enforce property to $True.

PS C:\> $MP = Get-SCOMManagementPack -DisplayName "My SQL MP Customization" | Where-Object {$_.Sealed -eq $False}
PS C:\> $Class = Get-SCOMClass -DisplayName "SQL DB Engine"
PS C:\> $Discovery = Get-SCOMDiscovery -DisplayName *rule*
PS C:\> Enable-SCOMDiscovery -Class $Class -ManagementPack $MP -Discovery $Discovery -Enforce
