getting all critical & high priority alerts from ruls

[Kobile]

Hi all,

i having truble to get all rules that generate an alert with sevirity
critical and high priority.

is it posible to export a list with powershell ?

Here are the 2 functions I use. You need to set the $RMS variable to the
name of your root management server.

I hope this helps.

cheers

Stefan,
Please excuse my ignorance with powershell, but where exactly to I assign
the RMS variable and what is the syntax? Could you please provide an
example?

Hi ScottieH,

i changed Stefan Functgion to a powershell script , the following is for
getting all rules to a TXT file.

1. copy the script to a PS1 file

############################################################################
## Get-RulesMatchingPriority
## Dumps all rules (from all MPs) with alert creation write action matching
## the specified alert priority (0 = Low, 1 = Medium, 2 = High)
##
## -Priority 0, 1 or 2
##
############################################################################

param ($RMS, [int] $Priority)

## connect to management group
$ManagementGroup = New-Object
Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.ManagementGroup($RMS)

$ManagementPacks = $ManagementGroup.GetManagementPacks()
foreach ($ManagementPack in $ManagementPacks)
{
$Rules = $ManagementPack.GetRules()
foreach ($Rule in $Rules)
{
if ($Rule.Enabled -ne "false")
{
foreach ($WriteAction in $Rule.WriteActionCollection)
{
if ($WriteAction.Name -like "*Alert*")
{
if ($WriteAction.Configuration -like
"*<Priority>$Priority</Priority>*")
{

$ManagementPack.Name + "," + $Rule.DisplayName
}
}
}
}
}
}

2. open the scom powershell .
goto start -> programs -> system center operations manager 2007 -> command
shell

3. run the ps1 script as follow:
myscript.ps1 RMSserverName PrioriyNumber > Rules.txt

4. the script contain this line "param ($RMS, [int] $Priority)"
$RMS - argument for RMSserverName
$Priority - argument for priority number.

Hope this will help you,

Kobile

Doesn't quite work for me. Getting the following results when trying to run
the script:

>highprirules.ps1 shr-sv8004 2 > hprules.txt

Cannot open file because the current provider
(Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Ope
rationsManager.Client\OperationsManagerMonitoring) cannot open a file.
