Microsoft.SystemCenter.VirtualMachineManager.2012.VMMAgentMonitoredByOpsMgrMonitor (UnitMonitor)

Monitors wheher the VMM agent is monitored by Operations Manager

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

This monitor indicates whether or not the server managed by Virtual Machine Manager is also being monitored by Operations Manager.

Causes

This monitor is unhealthy if the server managed by Virtual Machine Manager is not being monitored by Operations Manager. To provide comprehensive health and performance monitoring and management pack reports, it is a best practice to deploy an Operations Manager agent on each computer on which a Virtual Machine Manager component is installed. This includes the Virtual Machine Manager management server, virtual machine hosts, library servers, database servers, and the Web server hosting the VMM Self-Service portal.

Resolutions

Install an Operations Manager agent on the applicable computer.
