Create monitoring reports and dashboards

Once you’ve configured the monitoring of the objects in your organization, you can view the monitoring data in a variety of ways. Service level tracking allows you to configure performance and availability benchmarks as a way of measuring whether the services that you are monitoring are meeting the availability and performance expectation of the stakeholders who use them. Reports allow you to generate visual representations of the information gathered by Operations Manager. Dashboards allow you to configure at-a-glance representations of important information.

This section covers the following topics:

Summary

• You can use Operations Manager service level objectives (SLOs) to set availability and performance benchmarks.
• You run service level tracking reports against SLOs to determine whether those availability and performance objectives have been met.
• Operations Manager includes a number of built in reports that allow you to view the data collected by Operations Manager agents. Management packs contain additional reports.
• Dashboards allow you to build “at-a-glance” summaries of important Operations Manager information. Dashboards can be published to SharePoint
