How can I create a Dynamic Inclusion from more than one Class? — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 14:10:10 GMT

I'll created a computer group with an AND Group.

e.g.

( ( Object is Health Service AND ( Is Agent Equals true ) AND ( Patch List Does not contain 979257 ) ) AND ( Object is Windows Operating System AND ( Operating System Version Display Name Contains 64 ) AND ( Operating System Version Display Name Contains 2008 ) ) )

Something like this?

<MonitoringClass>AgentWatchers</MonitoringClass>

<RelationshipClass>Groups</RelationshipClass>

<Class>$MPElement[Name="HealthService"]$</Class>

<Class>$MPElement[Name="ElizabetherComputer"]$</Class>

</Contained>

</Expression>

</Contains>

</Expression>

</MembershipRule>

</MembershipRules>

Hello Jakub!

Thank to you and to Joel.

I think I am not able in doing the group calc Joels is talking about.

Do you think it is possible ask him for an example group calc?

Thank you!

Lizzie

From Joel:

I think she wants to group Microsoft.SystemCenter.AgentWatcher associated with computers that host her custom class. These contain the associated HealthService, which is hosted by Windows.Computer. She is inserting her Windows.Hosted hosted (LocalApplication) custom class. So she needs groupcalc to ask the question, “please group AgentWatchers that contain a HealthService that is contained by a Windows.Computer (with FQDN = ‘…’) which contains ElizabethClass”. Something like that.

Is this accurate and can you write your group calc query like that?

I will exmplain better:

I created (thank's to you) a connector.

This connector must forward all the alerts coming from computers hosting the instance of a specific class.

With "all the alerts" I mean all the alerts (alerts of my Mgmt Packs, from other Mgmt Packs and the alert alerting if a node or agent is not more reachable) coming from the managed nodes hosting my class.

How to forward alerts coming from specific nodes?

I created a Computer Group grouping all the nodes hosting myclass. Therefore from now on I receive all alerts except the alerts of a node or agent is not more reachable.

Eventually to receive these alerts too I create a new group grouping all (and I say all) the computers having an health service watcher agent, but so doing I have also the managed nodes that do not host my custom class.

Now I need to understand how to select only the Health Watcher Agent of managed nodes hosting my class.

Is clreaer now?

If you want to group ALL of your particular type, why not just use a simple rule like this, with your particular class?

<MonitoringClass>$MPElement[Name="Windows!Microsoft.Windows.Computer"]$</MonitoringClass>

<RelationshipClass>$MPElement[Name="InstanceGroup!Microsoft.SystemCenter.InstanceGroupContainsEntities"]$</RelationshipClass>

</MembershipRule>

If I put one of the actual comuter names that I discovered with the class discovery, then the group population works, but do not want to add manually the actual computer names in the group for two reason:

1) I do not know what computer names will be found

2) the mgmt pack is sealed and the computer group is not accessible

What do you mean? I thought you said you had one working by putting the string there? Have you tried the OM newsgroups?
