Setting Overrides on all relevant Rules and Monitors

Question

Can someone please help me with the following question? I was reading the post below (I believe written by
Cameron
Fuller) detailing some best practice around overrides. It stated if you override a ‘parameter’ for one rule/monitor (e.g. let’s say a parameter
dealing with a threshold) you should override the parameter for ‘all’ rules and monitors 'that use this parameter'. More information from the post below
Make sure that an overridden parameter is set for every rule and for every monitor that uses the parameter
When you override a parameter, make sure that the parameter is configured for each rule that uses the parameter and for each monitor that uses the parameter. There may be more than
one rule or monitor that uses the particular parameter. For example, the following rules and monitors use the
Intersite Expected Max Latency parameter: Monitors
AD Replication Monitoring
Rules
AD Replication Performance Collection - Metric Replication Latency
AD Replication Performance Collection - Metric Replication Latency: Maximum
AD Replication Performance Collection - Metric Replication Latency: Minimum
AD Replication Performance Collection - Metric Replication Latency: Average
Now my question is:
How do I discovery all the rules/monitors that are using this particular ‘parameter’?
For example using either PowerShell or SQL query. If PowerShell I assume you would have to
use Get-Rule or Get-SCOMRule with the –Criteria filter. Does anyone have an example please?
As a side note I could do the following in PowerShell as one way to find all cmdlets what use the –path parameter as one of their parameters
Get-Command -CommandType cmdlet | where {$_.parameters.keys -eq "path"}
So to recap: As above if I want to set an override on ‘Intersite Expected Max Latency’
for a given rule or monitor how do I find all other rules/monitors also use ‘Intersite Expected Max Latency’
as I can override these too?
Thanks All

Hi,
We may use the specific word to filter out those proper rules and monitors， to filter out all monitors that which name contains latency:
get-scommonitor -name “*latency*”
Please refer to the below links to find more details about the get-scomrule and get-scommonitor command:
