DumpHM creates a subset of the Microsoft Health Monitor 2.1 configuration in MOF file format. The .mof that's generated can be used to reproduce the original configuration on another server, or it can be retained as a backup of the Health Monitor configuration.
Application Center and Health Monitor must be installed on the source and target—assuming that you want to re-create this configuration on another server.
No installation is required; copy DumpHM.exe to a convenient location.
To generate the Health Monitor configuration .mof, in Windows 2000, open a command prompt, and then type
DumpHM.exe
To install the Health Monitor configuration contained within the DumpHM-generated .mof, you must compile this file on the target by using Mofcomp.exe.
See the documentation for DumpHM on the Resource Kit companion CD.
The Health Monitor configuration is composed of Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) instances representing data groups, data collectors, thresholds, and actions. Data groups, data collectors, and thresholds are organized in a tree-shaped hierarchy. A single action can be associated with more than one threshold, and all actions are grouped under the computername folder. DumpHM will extract only actions that are associated with an existing threshold in the hierarchy.
