Disable monitor in Operation Manager for 1 host

Question

Hi,
I need to create a poweshell script that disable a monitor for a given host.
With the Disable-SCOMMonitor, I managed to disable it for a class, not an individual host. It looks feasable since you can disable it for a specific host of a class in the console.
So far I've got:
$Host =  Read-Host "Enter computer name"
$MonitorName = "Total CPU Utilization Percentage"
$Monitors=Get-SCOMMonitor -ComputerName $strComputerName | where {$_.DisplayName -eq $MonitorName}
$MP = Get-SCOMManagementPack -DisplayName "BMA - Override - Orchestrator_Generated" | where {$_.Sealed -eq $False}
foreach ($Monitor in $Monitors) {
     $Instance3 = Get-SCOMclass -name $Monitor.target.identifier.path | Get-SCOMClassInstance | where {$_.Path -eq $Host}
     Disable-SCOMMonitor -Instance $Instance3 -ManagementPack $MP -Monitor $Monitor -Enforce
This does not return any error (besides when $Instance3 is empty, but that's an easy fix), but does not disable the monitor either...
I would appreciate some help to get that working :)
Thank you !

Hi,
I am a little confused, as you have the specified the monitor name as Total CPU Utilization Percentage, why are you still try to get an array of monitors?
If you want to disable one monitor for a computer, please try follow code, you may need to change some parameters according to your environment:
$Host = Read-Host "Enter computer name"
$MP = Get-SCOMManagementPack -DisplayName "BMA - Override - Orchestrator_Generated" | where {$_.Sealed -eq $False}
$Instance = Get-SCOMclass -displayname "The class name for the instance“| Get-SCOMClassInstance | where {$_.Path -eq $Host}
$Monitor = Get-SCOMMonitor -DisplayName "Total CPU Utilization Percentage"
Disable-SCOMMonitor -instance $Instance -ManagementPack $MP -Monitor $Monitor -Enforce
Hope this helps.
