Example

In the following C# console application:

  • An instance of a Management Group object is created.

  • A monitoring connector is created, set up, and initialized.

using System;
using System.Collections.ObjectModel;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement;
using Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Monitoring;
using Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.ConnectorFramework;
using Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Common;
using Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Configuration;

namespace ConnectorSample
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // Connect to a management group.
            ManagementGroup mgmtGroup = new ManagementGroup("localhost");
            // Gets a reference to the connector framework administration object.
            IConnectorFrameworkManagement cfAdmin = mgmtGroup.ConnectorFramework;
            // Create a new monitoring connector.
            ConnectorInfo connectorInfo = new ConnectorInfo();
            connectorInfo.Description = "Get alerts from the manager";
            connectorInfo.DisplayName = "Alerts from the manager";
            connectorInfo.Name = "Application Connector";

            // Set up the monitoring connector.
            MonitoringConnector connector = cfAdmin.Setup(connectorInfo);

            // Initialize the connector.
            connector.Initialize();

         }
    }
}

Remarks

For more information about connectors, see Connecting to External Systems by Using Operations Manager Connectors. A MonitoringConnector can pass information only for the alerts that are marked for monitoring connector. The MonitoringConnector must be set up and initialized before any alerts can be retrieved. Similarly, to remove a MonitoringConnector, it must be uninitialized before it can be deleted (cleanup).

Warning

After installing Microsoft System Center Operations Manager, an instance of MonitoringConnector named "MOM Internal Connector" appears in the database. This instance is not intended for use in your code.
