[OpsMgr 2012] Effective configuration dashboard : What Rule and Monitors are running on my server ? (#Dashboard #SCOM2012 #OpsMgr)

All SCOM professsionals have already been asked "What Rule and Monitors are running on my server ?" and there is no easy way to answer ! In SCOM 2007 there was a Resource kit "effective Configuration viewer" and for SCOM 2012, a new cmdlet has been introduced : Export-SCOMEffectiveMonitoringConfiguration but the result is not user friendly !

Windows PowerShell

PS C:\> $Members = (Get-SCOMGroup –DisplayName "All Windows Computers").GetRelatedMonitoringObjects()
PS C:\> $Members | ForEach-Object { Export-SCOMEffectiveMonitoringConfiguration –Instance $_ -Path "C:\temp\$($_.DisplayName).csv" } –RecurseContainedObjects }

Thom Davis have studied the question and created a Dashboard. Here are the 2 articles that explain how it's made :

SCOM Dashboard: What Rules and Monitors? Part 1

SCOM Dashboard: What Rules and Monitors? Part 2

His Dashboard also is able to list :

• Objects and classes on a selected computer
• Active alerting Rules and Monitors for the selected computer
• Active non-alerting Rules and Monitors for the selected computer
• Non-active Rules and Monitors for the selected computer
