Technologies are described herein for generating a management pack at program build time. Data is received that defines one or more events generated by the application program. Data is also received that defines one or more management classes for the application program. When a request to build the program is received, the data defining the events generated by the program and the data defining the management classes is utilized to generate a management pack for the program in an automated fashion. Once the management pack has been generated, it may be provided to an operations manager application program for use in monitoring the operation of the application program.
