Data Graphics not being displayed for diagrams configured for the SCOM add-in

  • Article

Recently a bug was discovered in the SCOM add-in ( download here ) which prevents the add-in from applying the cool custom data graphic icon set on any shapes that are linked to SCOM data.

Luckily there are a few workarounds:

For existing diagrams:

  1. Download the attached Visio drawing.
  2. Open the attached Visio diagram.
  3. Copy the shape that is labeled ‘Copy me to your diagram’ and paste it into your diagram.

  4. Once it is copied, promptly delete it…yes delete it ( not Undo but Delete ).  The process of copying this shape to your diagram pulls across the data graphics that are needed for the SCOM add-in.

For new diagrams:

Start a new diagram using the attached template (VST) which contains all the data graphics that are needed by the SCOM add-in.
