You can use the Operations Manager class libraries to gather information about an existing Management Pack. For a list of Management Pack properties, see Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Configuration.ManagementPack and Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Configuration.ManagementPackClass.

Example

Description

The following example demonstrates how to retrieve information from two different Management Packs. The example displays information about the classes, relationships, monitors, rules, and tasks in the Management Packs.
