Alerts that are raised by the monitors should not be manually resolved in Operations Manager 2007
In Microsoft System Center Operations Manager 2007 and in Microsoft System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2, alerts can be raised by the monitors. Alerts that are raised by the monitors are typically the result of a state change. These alerts are displayed in the Operations console similar to the alerts that are raised by rules. However, these alerts should not be manually resolved.
Alerts that are raised by the monitors are related to a state change. These alerts should be resolved by the monitor itself. For example, the monitor waits for when the state changes back to
Success or green. Alerts can be manually resolved in the Operations console. However, we do not recommend that you manually resolve the alerts. If the alert is manually resolved, the resolved state of the alert does not match the state of the monitored object.
You can use some Windows PowerShell cmdlets to determine whether an alert is raised by a monitor. The following is a sample of a script that determines whether an alert is raised by a monitor:
#get all alerts
$alerts = get-alert
#get only alerts generated by a monitor and not closed $alerts = get-alert | where {$_.IsMonitorAlert -eq $true -and $_.ResolutionState -ne 255}
#format a table with alert info
$alert | sort-object LastModified, Name | ft Name, LastModified
#print number of alerts
$alerts.Count
#get only alerts generated by a rule and not closed $alerts = get-alert | where {$_.IsMonitorAlert -eq $false -and $_.ResolutionState -ne 255}

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
