Attributes and Elements

The following sections describe attributes, child elements, and the parent element of the OperationalStates element.

Attributes

None.

Child Elements

Element	Description
OperationalState	Required element. Defines a mapping between a health state and an operational state.

Parent Elements

Element	Description
UnitMonitor	Defines an implementation of a unit monitor type definition that determines the health of targeted class type instances.

Remarks

The OperationalStates element contains operational states that allow the management pack author to map health states to the monitor type states that are defined in the UnitMonitorType definition. It also allows them to provide a custom name and description of each state for the purpose of both clarity and localization.

In the following example, two monitor type states are defined in the unit monitor type definition Microsoft.Windows.2SingleEventLog2StateMonitorType.

  
<UnitMonitorType
ID="Microsoft.Windows.2SingleEventLog2StateMonitorType"
Accessibility="Public">
  <MonitorTypeStates>
    <MonitorTypeState ID="FirstEventRaised" />
    <MonitorTypeState ID="SecondEventRaised" />
  </MonitorTypeStates>
  <Configuration>
     …
  </Configuration>
  <MonitorImplementation>
     …    
  </MonitorImplementation>
</UnitMonitorType>

A unit monitor that wants to implement this monitor type must associate two health states with the two monitor type states. In the following sample, the health states Error and Success are mapped to the two monitor type states.

<UnitMonitor ID="Microsoft.Windows.Client.Vista.NetworkAdapter.NetworkAdapterConnectionHealth" Accessibility="Public" Enabled="false" Target="Vista!Microsoft.Windows.Client.Vista.NetworkAdapter" ParentMonitorID="SystemHealth!System.Health.AvailabilityState" Remotable="true" Priority="Normal" TypeID="Windows!Microsoft.Windows.2SingleEventLog2StateMonitorType" ConfirmDelivery="false">
  <Category>AvailabilityHealth</Category>

 <OperationalStates>
    <OperationalState ID="Disconnected" MonitorTypeStateID="FirstEventRaised" HealthState="Error" />
    <OperationalState ID="Connected" MonitorTypeStateID="SecondEventRaised" HealthState="Success" />
  </OperationalStates>
  <Configuration>
    …
  </Configuration>
</UnitMonitor>

For the entire unit monitor definition, see UnitMonitor. To learn how to provide localizable names and descriptions associated with an operational state, see OperationalState.
