System Insights enables you to create new capabilities that use the existing data collection and management functionality. Once these capabilities are created, however, it's equally important that you also have the platform support to manage the addition, removal, and updates of these capabilities.
This topic describes the high-level functionality to add, remove, and update capabilities in System Insights.
Add a capability
System Insights allows you to add new capabilities anytime using the Add-InsightsCapability cmdlet. The Add-InsightsCapability requires you to specify a capability name and the capability library. The capability library contains the capability description, data sources, and prediction logic.
Add-InsightsCapability -Name Sample capability -Library C:\SampleCapability.dll
After a capability is added to System Insights, you can immediately invoke and manage the capability using PowerShell or Windows Admin Center.
Update a capability
System Insights enables you to update a capability using the Update-InsightsCapability cmdlet.
Update-InsightsCapability -Name Sample capability -Library C:\SampleCapabilityv2.dll
Updating a capability allows you to specify a new capability library, which allows you to change the capability description, the data sources, and the prediction logic associated with that capability. Importantly, updating a capability preserves all configuration and historical information about that capability, including custom schedules, actions, and historical prediction results.
Remove a capability
You can remove capabilities in System Insights using the Remove-InsightsCapability cmdlet.
Remove-InsightsCapability -Name Sample capability
Note
The default forecasting capabilities can't be removed.
Removing a capability permanently deletes the capability and all associated information, including the schedule, any remediation actions, and past prediction results.
Consider disabling a capability rather than removing it if you're worried about permanently deleting all information associated with the capability.
