Management Packs serve as a container and distribution vehicle that is used to deploy the configuration information that is required for managing computers and applications.
A Management Pack consists of a collection of rules, knowledge, and public views. The Management Pack makes it possible to collect a wide range of information from different sources. You can use Management Packs to determine how a MOM Management Server collects, handles, and responds to data.
The following information is contained in a Management Pack:
- A list of rule groups that contain rules.
- A list of Rules for each Rule Group.
- A list of providers that the rules reference.
- A list of scripts that rules need to call in response to an event.
- A list of registry-based computer attributes that are needed for discovery.
- A list of computer groups whose formula depends on the specified Computer Attributes.
- A list of computer group and rule group associations that specify rule targets.
- A list of notification groups that notification responses use in rules.
- A list of view instances definitions that define how the operations data produced by managed computers should be viewed.
- A list of tasks that users may need for managing the application.
- The Service Discovery Class Schema that defines the entities that will be managed, their properties, and their relationship to other properties.
- The Diagram Definitions that describe how service discovery data should be viewed as a diagram from an application perspective.
- Knowledge associated with the rules, which specifies how problems should be corrected and how the Management Pack should be used.
