It is all built on the Health Model.<br /><br />The Health Model can looked upon as a selection of nodes, where the top node (Entity) is the most generic one.<br /><br />The deeper one goes, the more specific a node becomes like: Computer > Windows Computer > Windows 2008 Server Computer.<br /><br />Also in this Health Model everything relates to each other and health rolls up. So - for instance - when a disk of a monitored server ends up full, it will generate a critical error. This status will rollup the chain, to the toplevel node.<br /><br />Whem you want to know more about the HealthModel and how things relate to each other (you will gain a deeper insight of how OpsMgr functions) check out this posting of mine: http://thoughtsonopsmgr.blogspot.com/2009/05/management-pack-authoring-console.html<br /><br />Best regards,<br />MarnixMarnix Wolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09487479325587450184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4414432572587218573.post-51552303760558885202009-08-31T20:20:11.700+02:002009-08-31T20:20:11.700+02:00Hi Bob.
Thanks for visiting my blog.
With softw...Hi Bob.<br /><br />Thanks for visiting my blog. <br /><br />With software like OpsMgr, it is all about semantics. So certain names have to be chosen. I am glad with OpsMgr R2 since Microsoft has become more consistent with the namingscheme. In OpsMgr RTM/SP1 one could find many times the word OBJECT while they meant CLASS. <br /><br />As goes for the name GROUP it can be hard to understand, more over when one knows how groups are used within OpsMgr.<br /><br />PFE Steven Rachui has written a good article about targeting where he also explains how a group is used within OpsMgr.<br /><br />It took me a while to grasp the idea behind it though. But articles like that really do make a difference.<br /><br />Check here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2008.11.targeting.aspx?pr=blog<br /><br />Best regards,<br />MarnixMarnix Wolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09487479325587450184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4414432572587218573.post-55413766792577827552009-08-31T19:11:26.405+02:002009-08-31T19:11:26.405+02:00Thank you I've known that you had to use Group...Thank you I've known that you had to use Groups most of the time rather than Objects but I never got an explanation of why. <br /><br />This would have been much clearer if they had used a different term like Parent. Granted Parent isn't great either, but Group just isn't what I thought it would be.Bob Panicknoreply@blogger.com
