Service Level Dashboard Management Pack for System Center Operations Manager 2007
The Service Level Dashboard Management Pack enables you to accurately measure and report on end-to-end system availability and performance of business critical applications.

New Level 5 Guide Published

Just a quick note to say that I have today uploaded a new Level 5 video to the BlogCast Repository entitled 'Advanced Management Pack Creation Part 2'. This guide covers creation of monitors and rules using the authoring console and then looks at the objects in more detail in the XML. More in this series are on the way.

The new video can be found here: http://www.blogcastrepository.com/level5/scom/archive/2008/10/08/advanced-management-pack-creation-part-2.aspx

Thanks,

Andy
