You can use the Operations Manager class libraries to create a connector that makes it possible for Operations Manager to communicate with an external system. If the external system runs on a Windows-based computer, using the class libraries is the preferred method for creating the connector.
Example
The following example demonstrates how to create a connector and how to remove a connector by using the Operations Manager class libraries:
/// <summary>
/// Creates a new connector by using the Operations Manager
/// class libraries.
/// </summary>
using System;
using System.Collections.ObjectModel;
using Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement;
using Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.ConnectorFramework;
using System.IO;
using System.Text;
using System.Xml;
namespace SDKSamples
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
ManagementGroup mg = new ManagementGroup("localhost");
IConnectorFrameworkManagement icfm = mg.ConnectorFramework;
MonitoringConnector connector = null;
Guid connectorId = Guid.NewGuid();
// Create a new connector.
ConnectorInfo myConnectorInfo = new ConnectorInfo();
myConnectorInfo.Name = "myConnector";
myConnectorInfo.DisplayName = "My Connector";
myConnectorInfo.Description =
"This connector was created using the Operations Manager class libraries.";
connector = icfm.Setup(myConnectorInfo, connectorId);
connector.Initialize();
Console.WriteLine("Created " + connector.Name + " with ID: " + connector.Id);
// Remove the connector when finished with it.
Console.WriteLine("Removing " + connector.Name);
connector.Uninitialize();
icfm.Cleanup(connector);
Console.WriteLine("Connector removed.");
}
}
