This post will describe the setup that is needed in order for your OpsMgr 2012 SP1 environment to monitor your ConfigMgr 2012 SP1 site.
First download the MP via this URL http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=34709

Execute the installer and you will end up with 4 files:

EULA.rtf
Microsoft.SystemCenter2012.ConfigurationManager.Discovery.mp
Microsoft.SystemCenter2012.ConfigurationManager.Library.mp
Microsoft.SystemCenter2012.ConfigurationManager.Monitoring.mp

Import the 3 Management Pack Files for ConfigMgr.

So go the Administration tab –> Management Packs –> choose the Add button from disk.

Then make an Override Management Pack for this MP!

After importing and installing you get a new monitoring view (System Center 2012 Configuration Manager)

For the Configuration Manager monitoring pack to discover objects, you must turn on Agent Proxy on every site server except for the primary site and the central administration site.

It might take some time before your ConfigMgr 2012 SP1 components appear in the OpsMgr 2012 SP1 environment…

After that is done, you can go back to the monitoring tab and choose under SCCM 2012.
Hierarchy Diagram. This will give you a diagram over your SCCM site.

Any alerts (RED X’s) can be clicked and you can drill down to your problem. The MP looks very good and complete.

Be sure to read the manual, a lot of rules are disabled by default. Also performance monitoring is disabled by default.

So you got Operations Manager 2012 installed.
The console looks fine and you can select which Management Packs (MP) you want to see and which ones you don’t.

Every admin who logs in to the console will have to do this and this is fine for sealed MP’s.
But what about your own, unsealed, MP’s?

They also appear in the console and you can select them whether to display them or not. But the MP’s you will add are most of the time ‘Override’ Management Packs, containing your overrides (per Management Pack…).
