Management packs overview


Management packs give us a deep-dive ability to monitor things such as operating systems, applications, hardware components, websites, and cloud-based workloads to name just a few.

Containing workload-specific discoveries, monitors, rules, tasks, and reports, a management pack removes the need for IT administrators and service owners to get around a table and try to brainstorm (or guess) what might possibly go wrong with whatever it is that they want to monitor! Instead, a management pack will enable you to monitor everything you need as soon as it's deployed to a computer installed with an OpsMgr agent.

For all the comprehensive monitoring power that a management pack delivers, under the hood it's just a simple Extensible Markup Language (XML) file.
