How to Query for Overrides

Applies To: System Center 2012 - Operations Manager

[This topic is pre-release documentation and is subject to change in future releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]

Overrides adjust the configuration of Operations Manager monitoring settings for monitors, attributes, object discoveries, and rules. You can query for overrides by defining criteria in the Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Configuration.ManagementPackOverrideCriteria class constructor. The criteria syntax is defined in Criteria Expression Syntax. The following property names are valid names that can be used in the criteria expression:

  • Id

  • Name

  • ManagementPackId

  • TargetId

  • ContextId

  • ContextObjectId

  • Value

  • Enforced

  • DisplayName

  • Description

  • TimeAdded

  • LastModified

  • Category

The following code queries for all the overrides that are enforced:

/// <summary> 
/// Query for overrides.
/// </summary>
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement;
using Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Configuration;
using Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Monitoring;

namespace SDKSamples
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            ManagementGroup mg = new ManagementGroup("localhost");

            // The criteria specifies that you want to collect
            // all the overrides that are enforced.
            ManagementPackOverrideCriteria overrideCriteria =
                new ManagementPackOverrideCriteria(
                "Enforced = 1");

            Console.WriteLine("Querying for data...");
            IList<ManagementPackOverride> overrides =
                mg.Overrides.GetOverrides(overrideCriteria);

            // Display information about each override.
            foreach (ManagementPackOverride mpOverride in overrides)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Override name: " + mpOverride.Name);
                Console.WriteLine("Status: " + mpOverride.Status);
                Console.WriteLine("Context: " + mpOverride.Context.Name);
                Console.WriteLine("Description: " + mpOverride.Description +
                    Environment.NewLine);
            }
        }
    }
}
