Hi All
Worked a bit with mom 2005 struggling with the transition. What I need to do is monitor an IIS hosted webapp (called CARS) on a farm of windows 2003 blades. My group monitors the platform - i.e. hw, os, iis. Another applications group has to be given access to monitor the app. But for testing I'll give them some of the platform alerts just to show some progress.
I wanted to start with basic alerts and then get into reporting and baselining. Now I've read the concepts guide and looked through most of the videos at but I'm missing the point. So far what I've done is:
- create a group of computers
- create a test rule that collects current iis connections and disabled it
- used the override on the rule to enable it for that group
- create a management pack called CARS Servers to hold all this custom stuff.
Now I could do the same for monitors and build it up that way. But what I really want is to use the IIS and windows 2003 management packs but not mess up my existing ones.
Now under authoring I can copy management packs - say call them CARS IIS and CARS OS. But how do disable all the rules and monitors in my copied ones and then set an override to enable them for the CARS servers.
