Hi Folks,

I am trying to build an monitor using Cook down, which will help us in getting DATA from multiple property bag in ONE script and passing the $Target Instance in Filter Module later. To yield the data for an target.

However I am facing the below issue . As per TechNet Article it is mentioned that DS should run once in which the script is present, but I have not seeing it in my implementation .

I have created an discovery  for object of a class with key property based on an SQL Query output , The Base Class is the windows Computer on which I need to discover the Object then I have Created an  Application component Class which is hosted by the Base Class via an relationship .

Following is the activity I have performed so Far.

1. Created the 2 Class as mentioned above, one is base class (which is REG Discovery), Second is the Application Component which is hosted via an relation to this base class.
2. Created an Probe module which return the DATA of the All the instance of the Target Class. There is no need to pass parameter to it (Windows.Powershellpropertybagtriggeronlyprobe)
3. Created an DS module which run the Scheduler an probe module Created above.
4. Created an DS Module which filter the above module based on the Key property of the Target instance. Using the Expression filter.
5. Then Create the Appropriate Monitor Type and determine the failure and success based on the property bag output
6. Then I have Created an Monitor in which I pass the parameter of Interval second & Sync Time(optional) .

However I have noticed the Probe which is created in Part 2 is running as many as the target instance are present . I am confused with the Statement  that cook down should run the DS once an pass it to the target.

But I am seeing the it is running once but for every instance of $target instance . Does anyone have any handy MP which Deal with SQL query .

In my case below : my script discovery run and discover the object below in excess of 400+ Row

Computer	JobName (KEY)	JobGroup (KEY)
XYZ	SSDD	ERR
XYZ	SSDD	EER
XYZ	SSPP	EE
XYZ	ERRR	SSP

I want to create monitoring around the based on the last column , I have built an script which get the data in Multiple property bag .

Computer	Job Name (KEY)	JobGroup (KEY)	Health
XYZ	SSDD	ERR	OK
XYZ	SSDD	EER	ERROR
XYZ	SSPP	EE	ERROR
XYZ	ERRR	SSP	OK

The Problem I am facing is I have targeted the monitor to the discovered Class (Target) , now it is running as much time as the no of  the  discovered item are, The filter is done based on the Key value but it is not efficient as I don`t want to Query my SQL for each target instance.

Can some guide me if I am missing anything or this is default behavior of Cook down i.e. one DataSource for one Target instance , if anyone has created some solution for monitoring above using cookdown can you share the MP with me so I can cross-verify for any mistake I am making. I am specifically looking based on output of SQL qu

Can you publish your management pack?

Hi Vladimir

Thanks for the Response , I noticed that in my cookdown the Filter Expression  Detection Module for the FilterSuccess & FilterFailure was mostly the cause, If I  pass the configurable value it work .If I rigidly called the Filter Success as Value Property[@Name=State] equal to OK or FilterFailure Property[@Name=State] equal to Error it was not working.

While I changed it $Config/State$ = $Config/Success$ & $Config/State$ = $Config/Error$ , it worked.

Also Initially I had hesitated to use any param in my Probe module as it was returning the DATAITEM just fine without the param, but later I decided I forcefully passed the param of the host property which is common for all the discovered object . Although I am not sure if this helped.

Now it is running & getting me the successful result , I can query 400 + row in one script and pass that DATA to each discovered object. Instead of running the Script 400 time.
