Microsoft workload dashboards

For more ideas on the type of dashboards that you can deploy in OpsMgr, take a look at some of the built-in dashboards that come with a number of the Microsoft workload management packs. For example, if you've deployed the Exchange Server 2013 management pack, you'll see how Microsoft combine different layouts and widgets to monitor Exchange Server workloads. Figure 9.28 shows an example of the Organization Summary dashboard.

If you've deployed System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) management pack and then you can see dashboards similar to the Virtual Machine Dashboard shown in Figure 9.29, which provides health and performance information for your virtual machines.

The same management pack also has a very useful dashboard for monitoring your virtual hosts and this can be seen in Figure 9.30.
