I have this working in SCOM 2007 R2, but overrides changed a lot in SCOM 2012 (I am at SP1).
Background: I have manually created overrides to monitors and rules in various sealed management packs. The overrides are saved to an unsealed management pack. The overrides are for a group that is in a sealed management pack.
1) How can I use powershell to get the overrides that are within a management pack?
2) How can I determine through powershell which group name is associated with the override?
Here is how I did it for SCOM 2007R2 with comments about trying to do it in SCOM 2012:
$AllGroups = get-monitoringobject #this is a painfully slow way to get all the groups in the connected management group.
# in scom 2012, this is much easier with the get-scomgroup commandlet
$matchedMP = get-managementpack|where {$_.Name -match $MPwithGroupsPattern}
# In SCOM 2012, this becomes get-scommanagementpack, but pipe to where is still there.
#Incidently the regex pattern match feature of get-scommanagementpack's -Name and -DisplayName options does not work with \. in the pattern
$MPfamilyOverRides = $matchedMP |get-override
#in SCOM 2012, this is dramatically changed. The Get-scomoverride does not accept input from a management pack.
#this is the challege, how to get the list of overrides that are in a particular management pack.
foreach ($oneoverride in $MPfamilyOverRides) {
$groupId = ($oneoverride.Context).Id.Guid
$groupName =""
foreach ($OneGroup in $AllGroups) {
if ($OneGroup.Id -eq $groupId) {
$groupName = $OneGroup.PathName
}
$oneoverride # I really do something else with the override information, but this gets the main point across
$groupname
}
