How to Determine the Health of a Configuration Manager Site

Applies To: System Center Configuration Manager 2007, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 R2, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 R3, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 SP1, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 SP2

You can determine the overall health or status of a site, in Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007, by inspecting the SMS_SummarizerSiteStatus object Status property. The Status property has three possible values:

SMS_SummarizerSiteStatus is an example of a Configuration Manager 2007 summarizer. For more information about other summarizer classes, see Status Server WMI Classes.

To determine a site's health

1. Set up a connection to the SMS Provider. For more information, see About the SMS Provider in Configuration Manager.

2. Get the SMS_SummarizerSiteStatus object by using the Configuration Manager site code.

3. Inspect the SMS_SummarizerSiteStatus object Status property to determine the site status

Example

The following example determines the health of the site code supplied in the parameter siteCode.

For information about calling the sample code, see Calling Configuration Manager Code Snippets.

Sub ShowSiteHealth(connection, siteCode)

    Dim siteHealth
    Dim health
    
    On Error Resume Next 

    ' Get the site status summarizer.
    Set siteHealth = connection.Get("SMS_SummarizerSiteStatus.SiteCode='" & siteCode & "'")
    If Err.Number<>0 Then
        Wscript.Echo "Couldn't get site health"
        Exit Sub
    End If
    
    ' Display the site health.
    health="Health for site " + siteCode + " "
    
    Select Case siteHealth.Status
        Case 0
            heath = health + "is OK"
        Case 1
            health = health + "has warnings"
        Case 2
            health = health + "is critical"
        Case Else
            health = health + "is not known"
    End Select        
     
    Wscript.Echo health
End Sub

public void ShowSiteHealth(WqlConnectionManager connection, string siteCode)
{
    try
    {
        IResultObject siteHealth = connection.GetInstance(@"SMS_SummarizerSiteStatus.SiteCode='" + siteCode + "'");

        Console.Write("Health for site {0}", siteCode);
        switch (siteHealth["Status"].IntegerValue)
        {
            case 0:
                Console.WriteLine("is OK");
                break;
            case 1:
                Console.WriteLine("has warnings");
                break;
            case 2:
                Console.WriteLine("is critical");
                break;
            default:
                Console.WriteLine("is not known");
                break;
        }
    }
    catch (SmsException e)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Failed to show site status: " + e.Message);
    }
}
