Ever need to disable a specific monitor?<\/p>\n

I know I get tired of clicking through the console, maybe you do too?
\nDo you know the Monitor name and class?
\nIf yes, then you can enable\/disable monitors from PowerShell<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So let’s get started.<\/p>\n

From your management server, you can run SCOM commands as your ID (assuming your ID is set up in SCOM)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This example has 2 purposes:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. SQL2016 SP1 does NOT populate the proper fields, and will be fixed in SP2 per the SQL Engineering blog (Look at comments section – blog\u00a0here<\/a>)<\/li>\n
  2. Tired of the\u00a0warning alerts in my SCOM console<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Find the monitors <\/strong><\/p>\n

    $Monitor = get-scommonitor | where { $_.DisplayName -like “Service Pack Compliance” } | where { $_.Name -like “*Microsoft.SQLServer.2016.DBEngine*” }<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Let’s focus for a second on some differences, and how you can interchange the two depending on what information you know<\/p>\n

    DisplayName attribute is what you see in the console (note the spaces)<\/p>\n

    Name attribute typically has dots for the spaces<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Override a class<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Disable-SCOMMonitor -Class $Class -ManagementPack $MP -Monitor $Monitor<\/span>
    \n <\/span><\/p>\n

    Just in case you need to undo the override<\/p>\n

    Enable-SCOMMonitor -Class $Class -ManagementPack $MP -Monitor $Monitor<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Override a group<\/strong><\/p>\n

    $Group = (Get-SCOMGroup -DisplayName “Group*”)<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    # Enable the group<\/p>\n

    Enable-SCOMMonitor -Group $Group -ManagementPack $MP -Monitor $Monitor<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    # Disable the group<\/p>\n

    Disable-SCOMMonitor -Group $Group -ManagementPack $MP -Monitor $Monitor<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n
