Editor's Notes
- XML structure Object-based Types Monitoring Feature Dashboard Security Language Sealed or unsealed
- “Molds” for monitored objects and their coherence Both can contain properties Inheritance Version-specific classes Common Attributes Instantiated by discoveries Best Practices Avoid too many classes (use groups) Avoid volatile classes
- Runs with periodic intervals on agents Create objects hosted by targeted machine WMI / Registry / Script Best Practices Initial discovery registry (seed) Detail discovery WMI / script Avoid volatile data (config churn) Intervals Registry: 5 minutes Script: 4 hours Wmi 4 hours Rule of thumb: 1 day
- Attached to monitored objects Up to 3 states Types Unit Dependency Aggregation Influences health reporting WMI / Registry / Script Can run diagnostics and recoveries
- Attached to monitored objects Multi-purpose Perf Collection Event Collection “Scheduled Tasks” Stateless alert generation Supression Does not influence health reporting WMI / Registry / Script
- Cookdown
