How to Query for Recoveries

Updated: January 31, 2012

Applies To: System Center 2012 - Operations Manager

A recovery object is triggered by a monitor state change or by a diagnostic object operation. The recovery workflow performs an action that can change the state of a monitored component.

You can query for recovery objects by defining criteria in the class constructor. The criteria syntax is defined in Criteria Expression Syntax. The following property names are valid names that can be used in the criteria expression:

  • Id

  • Name

  • Accessibility

  • ManagementPackId

  • Enabled

  • Target

  • Monitor

  • ResetMonitor

  • ExecuteOnState

  • ExecuteOnDiagnostic

  • Remotable

  • CategoryOld

  • Timeout

  • TimeAdded

  • LastModified

  • DisplayName

  • Description

  • HasNonCategoryOverride

  • Category

The following code queries for all recovery objects that contain SystemCenter in their name:

/// <summary> 
/// Query for recoveries.
/// </summary>
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement;
using Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Configuration;
using Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Monitoring;

namespace SDKSamples
{
	class Program
	{
		static void Main(string[] args)
		{
			ManagementGroup mg = new ManagementGroup("localhost");

			// The criteria specifies that you want to collect
			// all the recoveries that contain SystemCenter in their name.
			ManagementPackRecoveryCriteria recoveryCriteria =
				new ManagementPackRecoveryCriteria(
				"Name LIKE '%SystemCenter%'");

			Console.WriteLine("Querying for data...");
			IList<ManagementPackRecovery> recoveries =
				mg.Monitoring.GetRecoveries(recoveryCriteria);

			// Display information about each recovery.
			foreach (ManagementPackRecovery recovery in recoveries)
			{
				Console.WriteLine("Recovery name: " + recovery.Name);
				Console.WriteLine("Status: " + recovery.Status.ToString());
				Console.WriteLine("Category: " + recovery.Category);
				Console.WriteLine("Description: " + recovery.Description +
					Environment.NewLine);
		}
	}
}
}
