1. Start the Add Monitoring Wizard.

   Note
   For information about starting the Add Monitoring Wizard, see How to Start the Add Monitoring Wizard in Operations Manager 2007.

2. On the Select Monitoring Type page, select TCP Port, and then click Next.

3. On the TCP Port Name and Description page, do the following:

   1. Type the Name for the object, such as Org WWW Site HTTP port 80.
      
      
   2. Optionally, type the Description for the object.
      
      
   3. Select a Management pack from the list, such as Default Management Pack, or click New to create a management pack with the Create a Management Pack Wizard.
      
      

      Note

      The object type will be added to the specified management pack, therefore only unsealed management packs are listed. By default, when you create a management pack object, disable a rule or monitor, or create an override, Operations Manager saves the setting to the Default Management Pack. As a best practice, you should create a separate management pack for each sealed management pack you want to customize, rather than saving your customized settings to the Default Management Pack. For more information, see Default Management Pack.
