Monitoring scenarios:

Monitoring scenario	Description	Associated rules and monitors
WS-Management and SMASH Device Discovery	Delivers the ability to discover WS-Management and SMASH devices, for monitoring by Operations Manager	A discovery rule will determine if a WS-Management device is SMASH compliant (using winrm identify) Another rule will associate the SMASH device to a Windows computer.  At this point, health state from the smash device roles up to the hosting windows computer. The only health state monitor is a WS-Management “ping” (winrm identify)
Clean up SMASH devices from deleted templates	If the user deletes the template, devices are NOT cleaned automatically.	A rule which runs every hour to clean up devices. There is also a task to clean devices up manually on demand (Clean up SMASH devices from deleted templates).
