Xml configuration file load state

Microsoft.SystemCenter.ManagementConfigurationService.XmlConfigLoadMonitor (UnitMonitor)

Checks the state of Xml configuration file loading process

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

The System Center Management Configuration Service has failed to load the configuration file.

This alert is generated when the Configuration Service has failed to load the ConfigService.xml file. The impact this failing to load, is during this time none of the Configuration Services work items will be performed from this management server. This will lead to inconstant behaviors in the Management Group’s ability to monitor, update Agents with new configuration and manage Resource Pools.

Configuration

Green: Configuration file has been located and loaded successfully.

Yellow: We loaded the file but one of the settings is missing or set to an incorrect value. Please see event log for events 29117 or 29118 for more info. Configuration Services will revert to default settings.

Red: We cannot load the file due to incorrect schema or file missing

Causes

This can happen when:

The System Center Management Configuration Service is unable to find, read or access the ConfigService.xml file (located in “%Program Files%\Microsoft System Center\Operations Manager\Server”). Due to cshost.exe.config missing or pointing to incorrect location.
The file has incorrect contents.

Resolutions

To further investigate the issue, consider the following:

Review the System event log on the system for errors indicating problems with the System Center Management Configuration Service.
Validate the ConfigService.xml file is accessible. If the file is missing or corrupt you will need to restore this file. You can replace this with the default file that setup installed by navigating to Program and Features in Windows. Selecting System Center Operations Manager then clicking on Uninstall/Change. Once the Getting Started page of the Setup Wizard opens, select Repair the Operations Manager Installation. Check the box next to Management Server and click Repair.
