One of the keys to integrate dashboard solutions for OpsMgr is to have dashboards route to the appropriate place when areas are clicked on.

I’ve been spending some time recently working with the xSNMP Extensions for System Center OpsMgr 2007 from CodePlex to provide monitoring for some Data Domain devices.
