Hi We are on SCOM 2007 R2 and have installed the Service Level Dashboard. When i go to the "Create a new distributed application" the template "Service Level Dashboard Application" is missing. Where does the template come from? We have followed the below blog http://scug.be/blogs/scom/archive/2008/10/22/creating-the-distributed-application-models-to-drive-the-service-level-dashboard.aspx Regards Donald D'souza

Hi Is there anything you think about it? Regards Donald D'souza

Hi Donald What version of SCOM are you using. This feature was only for the orignal SLD With the new SLD in R2 we get to assign a service level rule from the authoring console. You then just place this rule on any D.A. you likePaul Keely

Donald In R2 we dont use this template anymore. We dont have to because we have service monitoring built into R2 http://www.microsoft.com/systemcenter/en/us/operations-manager/om-whats-new.aspx http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd362653.aspx Just create you dist app, then go to service monitoring and cerate an SLA based on the new DA you have just createdPaul Keely
