ConnectorFrameworkProxy.GetMonitoringAlertsWithBatchSizeForTiers Method

Updated: April 16, 2012

Gets alerts marked for the monitoring connector for all configured management tiers. The failures that occurred for the configured tiers are returned. Namespace: Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.ConnectorFramework
Assembly: Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.OperationsManager (in Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.OperationsManager.dll)Dim instance As ConnectorFrameworkProxy Dim connectorId As Guid Dim batchSize As Integer Dim failures As ConnectorTieredOperationFailure() Dim returnValue As ConnectorMonitoringAlert() returnValue = instance.GetMonitoringAlertsWithBatchSizeForTiers(connectorId, batchSize, failures)Public Function GetMonitoringAlertsWithBatchSizeForTiers ( _ connectorId As Guid, _ batchSize As Integer, _ <OutAttribute> ByRef failures As ConnectorTieredOperationFailure() _ ) As ConnectorMonitoringAlert()public ConnectorMonitoringAlert[] GetMonitoringAlertsWithBatchSizeForTiers ( Guid connectorId, int batchSize, out ConnectorTieredOperationFailure[] failures )public: array<ConnectorMonitoringAlert^>^ GetMonitoringAlertsWithBatchSizeForTiers ( Guid connectorId, int batchSize, [OutAttribute] array<ConnectorTieredOperationFailure^>^% failures )public ConnectorMonitoringAlert[] GetMonitoringAlertsWithBatchSizeForTiers ( Guid connectorId, int batchSize, /** @attribute OutAttribute() */ /** @ref */ ConnectorTieredOperationFailure[] failures )ParametersconnectorIdThe globally unique identifier (GUID) for the monitoring connector to get alerts for.batchSizeThe approximate maximum batch size to return.failuresThe array of failures that may have occurred for various tiers.Return ValueReturns an Array of ConnectorMonitoringAlert objects, limited by the batchSize parameter, that contain the alerts for the specified monitoring connector.

The batchSize limitation allows you to perform the get monitoring alerts operation in small batches, thereby avoiding a timeout failure. The batchSize is the total across all tiers, not per tier.

It is good practice to limit the number of alerts obtained by a single call. When you perform this GetMonitoringAlertsWithBatchSizeForTiers method you should check to see if the count property of the returned collection equals or exceeds the batchSize. If the count property of the returned collection equals or exceeds the batchSize then you should acknowledge the alerts received, and call this function again to get the next batch of alerts. Only when the returned collection is less than the batchSize can you be sure that you have received all of the alerts.

This method gets alerts only from the bookmark date to the current time less 30 seconds.

After you get the Monitoring alert, you need to acknowledge that alert with an AcknowledgeMonitoringAlertsForTiers. Failure to acknowledge an alert will result in subsequent calls to get new alerts returning the already received alerts.
