Parent Elements

Element Description

Monitoring

Contains the workflow definitions that are used to discover and monitor the service model of a management pack.

Remarks

Overrides fall into two categories: configuration overrides and property overrides. Configuration overrides allow the user to override configuration elements defined in a workflow. Property overrides allow the user to override the property values that are common amongst all workflows or of a particular type of workflow.

Overrides can be created for the following workflow types.

Overrides cannot be defined for just any configuration parameter or a workflow property. In the case of configuration parameter overrides, the management pack developer must first specify which configuration elements are overrideable by the user. These are specified within module type definitions. For more information about defining overrideable parameters within module type definitions, see OverrideableParameter (DataSourceModuleType).

The workflows that contain modules with overrideable parameters can be targeted by overrides.

In the case of property overrides, there are two existing sets of properties that may be overwritten. One set applies to monitor overrides only, and the other set applies to rules, discoveries, diagnostics, and recoveries.

Following are the two sets of properties you can use when defining an override.

  1. Monitor Properties

    • Enabled

    • TraceEnabled

  2. Rule, Discovery, Diagnostic, Recovery Properties

    • TraceEnabled

Example

The following XML sample demonstrates a RecoveryConfigurationOverride element that overrides the value of the Timeout configuration parameter to a value of 60. The Timeout parameter is an overrideable parameter defined in one of the module types implemented in the workflow.

<RecoveryConfigurationOverride ID="Microsoft.Exchange2007.Agent.HealthService.RestartTimeout.Override" Context="Microsoft.Exchange2007.ComputerGroup" Enforced="false" Recovery="SC2007!Microsoft.SystemCenter.Agent.RestartHealthService.HealthServicePerfCounterThreshold" Parameter="Timeout" Module="RestartService">
  <Value>60</Value>
</RecoveryConfigurationOverride>
