Configuring the Get Monitor Object
To configure the Get Monitor object
From the Objects pane, drag a Get Monitor object to the active policy.
Double-click the Get Monitor object icon. The Properties dialog opens.
Configure the settings in the Details tab:
In the Server section, click the ellipsis button (...), and select the Operations Manager server Connection that you want to use for this object. Click OK.
In the Filters section, at least one filter is required to define the object. Click Add. In the Name box, click the down arrow and select a property from the list.
In the Relation box, click the down arrow and select a filter type.
In the Value box, enter the value you want to use.
You can also use published data to automatically populate the value of the property from the data output by a previous object in the workflow.
To use published data
Right-click the property value box, click Subscribe, and then click Published Data.
Click the Object drop-down box and select the object from which you want to obtain the data.
To view additional data elements common across the policy, select Show Common Published Data.
Click the published data element you want to use, and then click OK.
For a list of the data elements published by each object, see the Published Data tables in the object topic. For information about the Common Published Data items, see the "Policy Workflow Rules" chapter of the Opalis Integration Server Client User Guide (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=205284).
Click OK to save the filter settings.
Add additional filters as needed, and then click Finish.
Tip
Filter properties can only be used once in an object. For example, if your search criteria for a monitor includes a date range, you cannot use the LastModified filter property twice in the same object. However, you may be able to use the LastModified After Date and StateLastModified Before Date filter properties to achieve the desired results.
To make changes to a filter, click the filter and then click Edit. Make the changes, and then click OK.
To remove a filter, click the filter and then click Remove.
For information about the settings on the General and Run Behavior tabs, see Common Configuration Instructions for All Objects.
