Setup Dashboard: Uptime, CPU, Memory, Disk Space, etc

General discussion

Hi,
I am trying to setup monitors which will display the following:
-Server Health (Already setup and working)
-Server UptimeCPU Utilization
-Memory Utilization
-Free Disk Space
-Network Utilization
I have been looking through howtos and forums but can't find anything decent to assist me with this. For instance, when I try to setup a CPU utilization dashboard, most of the howtos mention a processor object type which needs to be selected but this is missing from the performance widget. I have installed the SC Management Pack for Windows Server Operating System management pack and under my monitors I do see the kind of monitors I want but can't get them to show on a dashboard.
I would really appreciate some tips or useful links.

Create a dashbaord, when you go to add the widget:
Add in: the objects by performance widget, select All Windows Computers, Select Processor Information, % Processor time, _Total. Display the TOP 10 objects. This will float servers using the most CPU to the top of a list.
Repeat for Drive Space, and Memory Space.
let me know if that works for you, again it's the Processor Information not Processor for the perf counter object type.

Hi Vincez / Jesse,
None of your suggestions worked.
The problem is that I do not have the "Processor Information" as a perf counter. These objects are my only options under the performance widget:
-Health Service
-Health Service Management Groups
-OpsMgr DB Write Action Modules
-OpsMgr DW Writer Module
-OpsMgr SDK Service
-Process
-System
I have also noticed the following errors in my event log:

Thank you for the assistance with this.

If this server wasn't named testscom, I would start over.
Here is how to import MPs which will make those Perf Conuters show up in the dashboard view.

5. Import management packs. Also refer to: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh212691.aspx
- Using the console – you can import MP’s using the catalog, or directly importing from disk. Note – some MP’s should only be imported from disk.
- Import the Base OS and SQL MP’s at a minimum.

Hi Jesse,
I have already installed the base OS MPs. I have also confirmed that it has been imported.
Do you think my installation is corrupted? If so I won't have any other choice but to reinstall.
