Hi, I think you can try the Visio Add-in to draw the diagram. Please refer to: SCOM and Dashboards – Part III – Visio 2010 Add-In for SCOM R2 http://thoughtsonopsmgr.blogspot.com/2010/09/scom-and-dashboards-part-iii-visio-2010.html Hope this can give you some hints.

This is how I do it...

Hello! Very nice the dashboard above... Is it possible to use individual objects? For example, I would like to show a specific Windows service of a server (service XPTO from servidor S001). Thanks!
