Exploring Third-Party Management Packs

Software and hardware developers can subsequently create their own management packs to extend OpsMgr’s management capabilities. These management packs extend OpsMgr’s management capabilities beyond Microsoft-specific applications. Each management pack is designed to contain a set of rules and product knowledge required to support its respective products. Currently, management packs have been developed for APC, Cisco, Citrix, Dell, F5, HP, IBM, Linux, Oracle, Solaris, UNIX, and VMware to name a few.
