Create an Automation Manager policy-based custom monitoring service
Automation Manager policies (AMPs) have global output parameters you can use to create custom monitoring services. An AMP is a collection of Powershell-based Automation Objects combined into policy scripts. Use a custom service to monitor the AMP activities to monitor its effectiveness.
Automation Manager is a drag-and-drop automation designer, which enables you to quickly create, debug, manage and run policies without any programming knowledge. For more information on using the pre-defined AMPs and creating your own, see the Automation Manager help topics.
Amp-based monitoring is only available for professional licensed Windows devices.
