Building on Kevin Holman’s MP Fragment Library are additional Uncommon Custom MP Fragments<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is the SCOM Management Pack Fragment Library which includes VSAE Fragments you can use to make SCOM management packs quickly and easily.<\/p>\n

V1.0 has two Event Monitors with\u00a0two state, two or three criteria monitors<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Assumptions<\/strong><\/p>\n

Visual Studio, and the VSAE Fragments are installed<\/p>\n

Visual Studio has a powerful plugin called VSAE (Visual Studio Authoring Extensions)
\nhttps:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/download\/details.aspx?id=30169<\/a><\/p>\n

If you aren’t familar with MP fragments for authoring, see instructions at:\u00a0 https:\/\/blogs.technet.microsoft.com\/kevinholman\/2016\/06\/04\/authoring-management-packs-the-fast-and-easy-way-using-visual-studio\/<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Background<\/strong>
\nA Management Pack fragment is simply a bit of XML, that contains all the \u201cworking parts\u201d for a specific workflow\u2026.<\/p>\n

Several authors have written about the power of fragments since VSAE launched, but the biggest gap I saw can be broken up into two major issues:
\n\u2022Nobody provided a good \u201clibrary\u201d of workable MP fragments
\n\u2022Nobody came up with a VERY simple method to reuse fragments quickly and easily<\/p>\n

If you can do a FIND and REPLACE in notepad, you can use this.<\/p>\n
