Change the Way Health State Is Represented

  • Article

Applies To: Operations Manager 2007 R2

By default, health state is depicted by using the System Center Operations Manager health icons (such as the green check mark for a healthy state). You can customize the way that health state is shown by changing the data graphic associated with the object. For example, you can show the health state by filling the shape with red, yellow, green, or grey color to represent the three health states and to represent a managed object in maintenance mode.

To change the way that health state is represented

  1. Do one of the following:

    For Visio 2007:

    1. On the Data menu in Visio, click Display Data on Shapes.

    2. In the Data Graphics window, select the objects in the Visio document for which you want to change the health state representation.

    For Visio 2010:

    1. Select the shape or shapes that you want to change.

    2. On the Data tab, click Data Graphics.

  2. In the Data Graphics window, click the data graphic that you want to use. The Visio Add-in for System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2 includes two choices. The SCOM IconSet data graphic shows health state using icons as in Operations Manager. The SCOM Color by Value data graphic uses red, yellow, green, or grey color to represent the three health states and to represent a managed object in maintenance mode.
