You can determine the overall health or status of a site, in Configuration Manager, by inspecting the SMS_SummarizerSiteStatus object Status property. The Status property has three possible values:

Value	Description
0	The site is healthy.
1	The site has warning conditions.
2	The site has error conditions.

SMS_SummarizerSiteStatus is an example of a Configuration Manager summarizer. For more information, see SMS_SummarizerSiteStatus server WMI class.

To determine a site's health

Set up a connection to the SMS Provider. For more information, see SMS Provider fundamentals.
Get the SMS_SummarizerSiteStatus object by using the Configuration Manager site code.
Inspect the SMS_SummarizerSiteStatus object Status property to determine the site status

Example

The following example determines the health of the site code supplied in the parameter siteCode.

For information about calling the sample code, see Calling Configuration Manager Code Snippets.

Sub ShowSiteHealth(connection, siteCode)  

    Dim siteHealth  
    Dim health  

    On Error Resume Next   

    ' Get the site status summarizer.  
    Set siteHealth = connection.Get("SMS_SummarizerSiteStatus.SiteCode='" & siteCode & "'")  
    If Err.Number<>0 Then  
        Wscript.Echo "Couldn't get site health"  
        Exit Sub  
    End If  

    ' Display the site health.  
    health="Health for site " + siteCode + " "  

    Select Case siteHealth.Status  
        Case 0  
            heath = health + "is OK"  
        Case 1  
            health = health + "has warnings"  
        Case 2  
            health = health + "is critical"  
        Case Else  
            health = health + "is not known"  
    End Select          

    Wscript.Echo health  
End Sub

public void ShowSiteHealth(WqlConnectionManager connection, string siteCode)  
{  
    try  
    {  
        IResultObject siteHealth = connection.GetInstance(@"SMS_SummarizerSiteStatus.SiteCode='" + siteCode + "'");  

        Console.Write("Health for site {0}", siteCode);  
        switch (siteHealth["Status"].IntegerValue)  
        {  
            case 0:  
                Console.WriteLine("is OK");  
                break;  
            case 1:  
                Console.WriteLine("has warnings");  
                break;  
            case 2:  
                Console.WriteLine("is critical");  
                break;  
            default:  
                Console.WriteLine("is not known");  
                break;  
        }  
    }  
    catch (SmsException e)  
    {  
        Console.WriteLine("Failed to show site status: " + e.Message);  
    }  
}
