Management Pack Health Model Exercise #9 - Creating a Recovery Based on the Output of a Diagnostic

  • 아티클

This document is part of the Operations Manager Management Pack Authoring Guide . 

Overview

The following procedure shows how to create  a recovery that runs after a diagnostic using the Operations Manager 2007 Authoring console and Visual Studio Authoring Extensions.  The recovery only runs if the output from the diagnostic meets certain criteria.

Product Versions

This exercise applies to the following products:

  • System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2
  • System Center 2012 Operations Manager
  • System Center 2012 Operations Manager SP1

Prerequisites

Before you perform this procedure, you must first complete the following prerequisite procedures:

Revisions

The Microsoft System Center team has validated this procedure as of the original revision.  We will continue to review any changes and periodically provide validations on later revisions as they are made.  Please feel free to make any corrections or additions to this procedure that you think would assist other users

Sample Code

A sample of the completed code for each exercise is available in the TechNet Gallery.  There is a separate sample for each exercise that includes the management pack completed at the end of that exercise and each preceding exercise.  This strategy allows you to work through each exercise in order and then compare your results.  For VSAE, this also includes the Visual Studio solution. 

Details

The diagnostic created in this procedure has the following characteristics:

  • Automatically runs when the MyMP.Monitor.MyApplicationEventError monitor goes to a critical state.
  • Runs a script that returns a single value in a property bag.
  • The script itself is only for testing and performs no real function. This script only simulates a script that gathers diagnostic data and returns that data in a property bag.

The recovery created in this procedure has the following characteristics:

  • Runs only when the value of the Result property in the property bag from the diagnostic is Positive.
  • Runs a script that writes an event to the OperationsManager event log on the agent and returns a message to the Operations console.
  • The value of the Result property in the property bag from the diagnostic is sent into the recovery script through an argument. This value is used in the event and the message created by the script.
  • The script itself is only for testing and performs no real function. This script only simulates a script that performs a recovery action and returns the results that are shown in an event and to the Operations console.
