How to create an Availability Report like the one that is on the demo.squaredup.com page.
On the Squared Up Demo site, if you go to Applications/Availability Report is shows a nice widget with History, Current Status, 24h SLA, 7d SLA, 1m SLA.
How would I create that same data but using our entire Windows Server environment? I’ve been tasked with creating a Health, Availability, & Performance dashboard for all of our servers that our Executives can go look at.
This view uses the Matrix tile and you can actually grab the json from your own instance (assuming you have an EAM license or a trial) and I’ve placed some details below.
I will add though, that this against the Windows Server class will only show you availability, not performance, as this is what the SLO targets (how to check config of SLO: https://support.squaredup.com/v4/Reference/Procedures/HowToCheckTheConfigurationOfAServiceLevelObjectiveInScom/).
You would need to create your own SLO in SCOM to track the other categories, which you would then need to break out into their own matrix tiles. This is not typically something an exec would want to see (too much information).

This sort of dashboard is best suited to applications, rather than something as broad as the server class.
The dashboard itself can be found on the navigation bar > Applications > Availability Report, or by searching in the global search box for the dashboard name.
Alternatively, I’ve placed the json below:
