What is a Management Pack in SCOM mean

  • Generally when you explain to your top management about SCOM, you use the word Management pack. All of sudden on of the executive stopped and asked me what does Management Pack mean, So i taught it would be useful if i give some explanation here.
  • Management packs typically contain monitoring settings for applications and services. After a management pack is imported into a management group, System Center 2012 – Operations Manager immediately begins monitoring objects based on default configurations and thresholds that are set by the management pack.
Each management pack can contain any or all of the following parts:
  • Monitors, which direct an agent to track the state of various parts of a managed component.
  • Rules, which direct an agent to collect performance and discovery data, send alerts and events, and more.
  • Tasks, which define activities that can be executed by either the agent or the console.
  • Knowledge, which provides textual advice to help operators diagnose and fix problems.
  • Views, which offer customized user interfaces for monitoring and managing this component.
  • Reports, which define specialized ways to report on information about this managed component.
  • Object discoveries, which identify objects to be monitored.
  • Run As profiles, which allow you to run different rules, tasks, monitors, or discoveries under different accounts on different computers.
