Am trying to understand the difference between "Select overrides DEFINED IN the following management packs" and "Select overrides APPLIED TO the following management packs" in the new SCOM 2019 UR2 Overrides Tracking report

@Tarek Nabeel , Based on my research, I find that if "DEFINED IN" option is selected all overrides that are defined in the specified Management Packs will be selected. For "APPLIED TO" option the report filters data to select only Overrides that override elements in the list of selected Management Packs. Default value is "DEFINED IN". We can see more details in the following link:

Thanks @Crystal-MSFT , maybe an example can make it simple.
@Tarek Nabeel , Based on my personal understanding, "DEFINED IN" will get more information than "Applied to". For example, if there are 3 overrides in the MPs, "DEFINED IN" will list all. "Applied to" will filter the overrides and only show the overrides met the condition we set. Maybe there's only 1 or 2 override displaying. As my environment hasn't been upgraded yet, I can't test on this. If you can test this, we can compare the result of the two reports to better understand it.

Thanks @Crystal-MSFT , i will give it a trial and try to find the difference.
@Tarek Nabeel , If there's any finding. I appreciate your sharing here. Thanks and have a nice day!

Hello Tarek,
To add to Crystal's excellent explanation, the "DEFINED IN" option in the SCOM 2019 UR2 Overrides Tracking report specifically targets all overrides that are explicitly defined within the selected Management Packs. Essentially, it focuses on the origin of the overrides.
On the other hand, the "APPLIED TO" option filters the overrides by their impact rather than their origin. This means it selects overrides based on whether they affect elements within the specified Management Packs, regardless of where these overrides were originally defined.
Understanding these distinctions can greatly enhance how effectively you manage and track overrides, ensuring better customization and maintenance of your management packs.
