SLA on a Group in SCOM 2012R2

Question

Hi Team,

I know this has been discussed in forums and blogs in large quantities but I seem to have hit a wall with this.

I have created a Group of Servers.
Have added the Health Watcher Agent Group for those servers in the Group.
Created a SLA in Authoring using the Group name as the Target Class for my SLA.
The Monitor chosen was Availability.

However, when i created a SLA dashboard, i do not get anything working:

i know a Group does not have any Unit Monitor assigned to it thats why there is no monitoring on a Group.

What do I need to do here?
Create Unit Monitor...which one is appropriate for Availability?
or do i need to create a Roll Up Unit monitor..etc

What am I missing here?

Hi @Saiyad Rahim ,

It's been ages since I've done this, but I believe I created a Dependency Rollup Monitor for the group, then created the SLA.

Here's a blog post going through how to accomplish SLA for a group:

hi Leon,

I have created the Rollup Dependency Availability monitor as per the article and the Group is now Green and I assume is getting monitored.

But is there a way to show the Group members in the View or its not possible:
