SCOMMPBaselineAutomation

TL;DR

1. Export your management pack to an Excel XML file and place it next to this script.
2. Run MP_Baseline_Automation.ps1 on your SCOM management server.
3. Check the created overrides in the Operations Manager console.

Overview

MP_Baseline_Automation.ps1 automates baseline overrides for SCOM management packs. It scans an exported Excel XML file for monitors and rules marked as Disabled, Debug or Activated and creates the respective override entries. Debug overrides are assigned to a *.DebugGrp group that is created automatically if needed.

Prerequisites

• Windows PowerShell with the modules OperationsManager and OpsMgrExtended installed.
• Permissions to modify the target SCOM environment.
• The script must run on a SCOM management server.

Files

• MP_Baseline_Automation.ps1 – main automation script.
• LICENCE – usage license (CC BY-SA 4.0).

Usage

1. Export your source management pack with MPViewer as an Excel XML file and store it in the same directory as MP_Baseline_Automation.ps1.
2. Edit the worksheets Monitors - Unit and Rules in the XML file and set the Enabled column to Debug or Disabled as required.
3. Run the script. It automatically loads the XML file, creates (if necessary) an override management pack and a debug group, removes old overrides (unless -Scope AddOnly is used) and generates new overrides from the XML.

Flags

• -Scope – AddOnly (only add new overrides) or DeleteOnly (only remove overrides previously created by this script).
• -DebugLog – enable verbose output.

Example

.\MP_Baseline_Automation.ps1 -DebugLog -Scope AddOnly

This runs the script with detailed debug information and adds new overrides without removing existing ones.
