Hyper-V Management Pack Extensions for System Center 2012 Operations Manager

Cristian Edwards and Diego Martinez Rellan both, Premier Fiel Engineers working for Microsoft have released the Hyper-V 2012 Management Pack Extension. The goal of the Management Pack Extensions is to add performance monitoring to the already existing Hyper-V Management Pack provided by Microsoft. The MP has monitors, rules and views. To avoid huge database consumption all rules are disabled by default. You can use these rules for creating your environment baselines.
