You can determine the overall health or status of a site, in System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager, by inspecting the SMS_SummarizerSiteStatus object Status property. The Status property has three possible values:

Value	Description
0	The site is healthy.
1	The site has warning conditions.
2	The site has error conditions.

SMS_SummarizerSiteStatus is an example of a System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager summarizer. For more information about other summarizer classes, see Status Server WMI Classes.

To determine a site's health

Set up a connection to the SMS Provider. For more information, see About the SMS Provider in Configuration Manager.
Get the SMS_SummarizerSiteStatus object by using the Configuration Manager site code.
Inspect the SMS_SummarizerSiteStatus object Status property to determine the site status

Example

The following example determines the health of the site code supplied in the parameter siteCode.

For information about calling the sample code, see Calling Configuration Manager Code Snippets.

Sub ShowSiteHealth(connection, siteCode)

    Dim siteHealth
    Dim health

    On Error Resume Next 

    ' Get the site status summarizer.
    Set siteHealth = connection.Get("SMS_SummarizerSiteStatus.SiteCode='" & siteCode & "'")
    If Err.Number<>0 Then
        Wscript.Echo "Couldn't get site health"
        Exit Sub
    End If

    ' Display the site health.
    health="Health for site " + siteCode + " "

    Select Case siteHealth.Status
        Case 0
            heath = health + "is OK"
        Case 1
            health = health + "has warnings"
        Case 2
            health = health + "is critical"
        Case Else
            health = health + "is not known"
    End Select        

    Wscript.Echo health
End Sub

public void ShowSiteHealth(WqlConnectionManager connection, string siteCode)
{
    try
    {
        IResultObject siteHealth = connection.GetInstance(@"SMS_SummarizerSiteStatus.SiteCode='" + siteCode + "'");

        Console.Write("Health for site {0}", siteCode);
        switch (siteHealth["Status"].IntegerValue)
        {
            case 0:
                Console.WriteLine("is OK");
                break;
            case 1:
                Console.WriteLine("has warnings");
                break;
            case 2:
                Console.WriteLine("is critical");
                break;
            default:
                Console.WriteLine("is not known");
                break;
        }
    }
    catch (SmsException e)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Failed to show site status: " + e.Message);
    }
}

The example method has the following parameters:

Parameter	Type	Description
connection	Managed: WqlConnectionManager VBScript: SWbemServices	A valid connection to the SMS Provider. For more information, see About the SMS Provider in Configuration Manager.
