&lt;p&gt;It seems to work, but I'm concerned that it may be monitoring things to death. &amp;nbsp;I have 16 managed nodes in&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;my Dev environment and I maxxed out my 15GB OpsMgr DB a couple of weeks after deploying the monitor. &amp;nbsp;I'm not &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;certain it's the cause, but I do suspect it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have little experience with SCOM management pack authoring, so I was hoping you could comment whether this is&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;a reasonable approach or if I should be trying something else.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks,&lt;/p&gt;

This is a great post. Is there a way to monitor the service display not the actual service name. I have 15 services with the name display name but different actual service name. Is it possible? Thanks.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is great and it works really well if you're using version 6.0.6278.0 of the Windows Server Operating System Library but after I upgraded to the latest Windows OS MP verion 6.0.6321.5, it doesn't work anymore. &amp;nbsp;Any ideas why? &amp;nbsp;After updating I created another MP using the procedure you outlined above and the only thing I noticed was that the data source alias was different:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Created with Version 6.0.6278 of Windows Server Operating System Library &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;MicrosoftWindowsLibrary6062780!Microsoft.Windows.WmiProviderWithClassSnapshotDataMapper&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Created wth Version 6.0.6321.5 of Windows Server Operating System Library &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;WindowsMicrosoft.Windows.WmiProviderWithClassSnapshotDataMapper&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Any ideas?&lt;/p&gt;
