Hi If you are new to SCOM then I'd suggest to take it slowly. This is a huge product and to develop custom rules \ monitors will require an understanding of how Management Packs work, targetting and the architecture: Basics: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/systemcenter/dd627344 http://systemcentersolutions.wordpress.com/2010/09/01/monitors-overview/ http://systemcentersolutions.wordpress.com/2009/08/02/overrides/ http://systemcentersolutions.wordpress.com/2009/07/10/targetting/ There are a lot fo C# coding examples here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc268402.aspx http://systemcentersolutions.wordpress.com/2010/01/18/some-authoring-links/ Cheers GrahamView OpsMgr tips and tricks at http://systemcentersolutions.wordpress.com/

How are you targetting your rule? You can't target groups - you need to target classes: http://systemcentersolutions.wordpress.com/2009/07/10/targetting/ An example: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee533583.aspx Note - you can't use parameters in the alert name - it won't cause it to fail but it is the literal text that will be displayed.
