How to Display Information about a Monitoring Object
Applies To: Operations Manager 2007 R2, Operations Manager 2007 SP1, System Center Operations Manager 2007
A monitoring object represents an instance of a monitoring class, and a monitoring class defines the type of the object. You can use the MonitoringObject class to gather information about each monitoring object such as property values, alerts, health states, and related objects. Each monitoring object can be a part of a hierarchy of related objects.
The following code example demonstrates how to display a variety of information about a single MonitoringObject object.
