Remarks

A knowledge article can be created for any management pack object, but only knowledge articles attached to an alert-generating rule or monitor are actually displayed from within the Operations Manager Console. Knowledge articles are stored by using MAML schema. This schema is included in the Operations Manager 2007 management pack schema. The knowledge article is either of type MAML or HTML. HTML is allowed for backward-compatibility reasons.
