# Monitoring Application Virtualization Servers
To simplify Application Virtualization (App-V) Server management, you can use the System Center Operations Manager 2007 Management Pack. This Management Pack supports only Application Virtualization (App-V) 4.5 servers; it does not support previous server versions. The Management Pack maximizes App-V Server availability for handling App-V Client requests.
## Status Indicators
The App-V Server health status indicators are color-coded. The colors represent the following status values:
- No color indicates that the server is running without non-recoverable errors.
- Yellow indicates that one of the components is not functioning correctly. The overall functionality of the server is degraded, but the server is still available.
- Red indicates that the server is not available and that it cannot provide key services or communicate with external service dependencies.
## Monitoring Criteria
The Management Pack monitors the following aspects of server health:
- Server Status—monitors server events to validate that the server is providing its expected services.
- Data Store Access—tracks the ability of one or more of the App-V Management Servers to access and communicate with the App-V data store.
- Content Data Access—monitors access to the \\Content directory, which might be a local directory or a network share, and the ability to read the requested files.
- Security—reports errors with the App-V Servers certificate and secure communications.
- Client Request Handling—monitors the ability of one or more of the App-V Servers to handle and correctly respond to client requests. These requests include publishing such items as configuration requests, package load requests, and out of sequence requests.
- Server Configuration—checks the configuration settings of the App-V Server. These configuration settings include the settings in the registry and in the App-V data store.
## Server Differences
The main differences between the App-V Management Server and the App-V Streaming Server are as follows:
- App-V Management Servers can provide publishing, streaming, management, and reporting services. Therefore, the Management Pack can manage more aspects of the App-V Management Server than it can manage on the App-V Streaming Server, which provides only package streaming.
- The App-V Streaming Server does not have an App-V data store, so data store access is not monitored. The configuration information for the App-V Streaming Server is managed in the registry.
- The App-V Streaming Server does not use the App-V Server Management Console interface; use other tools to manage the configuration.
