The best part! The Management Pack Catalog consists of packs from throughout the authoring community, to keep the catalog's collection full and updated, we need your help. The MPs included in the catalog cover a wide range, from simple sample packs, up to fully functional monitoring solutions, both free and paid MPs are included, from authors around the world.
Simple changes and updates can be made easily and quickly through the GitHub web UI. Detailed steps are at the Updates and Corrections wiki page, all that you will need is a basic GitHub account and your ready to contribute!
The CMPC catalog consists of JSON structure files and is used to populate the views of the Catalog UI. Powered by git source control, the catalog is a community effort and can be improved by anyone.
The index.json file provides a list of community management packs that are present in the catalog. Both the CMPC UI and the updated pack monitor rely on this file to locate the details.json file for each pack. The specific structure of the Index and its settings have definitions at the Index.json wiki page.
Consisting of a simple set of Key/Value pairs, the details.json file is the source of management pack details used to populate the CMPC UI. The specific keys and their purpose can be found at the details.json wiki page.
While the details.json file provides essential data for the CMPC to operate; it does not provide a flexible method for an author to elaborate on the benefits and uses of the management pack. To provide a better user experience, authors and community members have the option of providing a markdown formatted file tilted ReadMe.md within the MP's folder. This file displays within the SCOM Console under the 'Additional Details' expandable header.
Sharing what the community has to offer is a major focus of the catalog, and it thrives from community feedback. GitHub offers very robust contribution opportunities through the git process, to benefit most from the community's contribution five moderators have volunteered to assist.
