SCOM – How to Create an override
-
Open the OpsMgrConsole, in the right pane select Monitoring and navigate to active alerts.
- Right click on the alert you want to set an override for and select Overrides\Override the Rule
- You will have the choice of who or what the override is applied too.
- The current object as a whole. (For example, when you choose the Computer object, Operations Manager disables or overrides the rule for all computers).
- A particular group.
- A specific object of the current type (for Example, a specific computer on the network).
- All objects of another type (such as Agent).
- You will have the choice of who or what the override is applied too.
- After you select the appropriate object you will see the override properties page. There may be as few as one rule to multiple rules that you can modify. Here you are going to need detailed knowledge about the technology that you are monitoring.
- At the bottom of this page you will need to select the management pack to save the override to. DO NOT USE THE “DEFAULT MANAGMENT PACK”!
- If you don’t have a custom management pack to save it to you can create one from this window. Just follow the dialog boxes.
- When you are done say ok and the changes will be saved.
- This article will show the basics of how to create an override
- This will not show the values to use. For this product knowledge of the technology being monitored will be required as well as some research.
- Never use the “Default Management Pack” it is selected by default, so be careful to change it to a custom management pack. This creates other potential problems later on. When installing OpsMgr service packs the “Default Management Pack” can be overwritten causing us to lose all changes.
- Never disable a monitor. This can be done as an override. When you disable a monitor it is automatically saved to the “Default Management Pack”.
