You can use the Operations Manager class libraries to query and change many of the default management group settings.
Example
The following example demonstrates how to display the default heartbeat interval for all agent-managed computers in the management group. The example then changes the default interval to a new value.
/// <summary>
/// Displays the current default agent heartbeat interval,
/// and then changes the interval to 50 seconds.
/// </summary>
