About management modules
Management modules are predefined sets of discovery rules and actions that allow distributed discovery. An executed management module, using a service auto-discovery policy, automatically creates instances of service type definitions in the service map. An instance of a service type is an actual service visible in the service map.
A management module is stored on the HP Operations management server. By itself it is not deployed or active. To be executed, any management module has to be referenced and started by a service auto-discovery policy.
HPOM does not allow you to create custom management modules or to define new service types. Using the Service Type editor, you can make changes to certain attributes of a given service type. For example, you might assign graphs and reports and define auto-deployment attributes. However, you cannot add a new service type to existing management modules.
