Right click in the SCOM console on Monitoring, select new dashboard view and off you go. First, I decided to create one for the Veeam n. Works VMware management pack. I decided to use the SLA template. After you name your dashboard, youll be asked to pick from any existing SLAs youve created. If you dont have one you can create one by going to Authoring Management Pack Objects.

Click on the dashboard you want to publish and copy the full URL you see in the browser bar It will look something like this Now, add the Operations Manager Dashboard View Web Part to your page You will have to edit the web part after you add it. Basically, you need to paste that URL you just copied from the console into the appropriate field. Of course, you can change the title or any other parameters in here as well, if you see fit. Once you OK the changes here, you should see your web part show up on the Share.
