This monitor changes state when the System Center Management Health Service has either failed to publish its public key to a management group in order to receive secure messages or it has received a secure message encrypted with the wrong public key.

Below is a summary of the default configuration of this monitor:

• Warning state: Transition to warning state if the System Center Management Health Service, within 6 hours, receives at least 10 occurrences of event that indicates the wrong key (7004), failure to publish key (7005), or expiring public key (7013)

• Healthy state: Transition to healthy state automatically every 6 hours.

The warning state can indicate the following may be happening on the agent:

• The System Center Management Health Service received a secure message from a management group which was encrypted using the wrong public key.

• The System Center Management Health Service was unable to publish its public key to a management group and will be unable to receive secure messages until this key is published.

• The key pair that the System Center Management Health Service uses to receive secure messages from a management group is expiring.

No action required - the System Center Management Health Service will automatically fix the problem by doing one of the following:

• The System Center Management Health Service will discard the secure message and re-publish the public key.

• The System Center Management Health Service will attempt to retry publishing the key.

• The System Center Management Health Service will be recycled and the key regenerated.
