2. Create a Web API provider to connect with Prometheus.
   Use the following settings: [@portabletext/react] Unknown block type "tableBlock", specify a component for it in the `components.types` prop
   How to create a Web API provider

   1. In SquaredUp DS navigate to the right-hand menu ☰ > system > Integrations

   2. Under Integrations click on Web API and choose either Simple, Basic Auth or OAuth depending on the API you are using.
      About the different types of Integrations and Web API providers

      [@portabletext/react] Unknown block type "tableBlock", specify a component for it in the `components.types` prop

      Note: When adding an OAuth provider you may get an message that the provider is not authorized if some of the provider configuration is incorrect (for example the username, password, secret etc), or if you use a proxy it could be that the proxy is not configured. See How to configure SquaredUp DS to use a proxy.
   3. Complete the provider fields, using your API provider's online documentation as a guide.

      ignore invalid ssl: Turn the on/off switch to on if you are using a self-signed certificate.

      default headers headers sent with all requests using this provider, for example the API token in the format the API requires.

      url parameters url parameters sent with all requests using this provider. For example, a query parameter that is always used can be added here in the provider to save adding it to every dashboard configuration.

   4. You are now ready to use this provider in a Web API tile (see How to use the Web API tile).

3. Create a PowerShell profile in SquaredUp DS with the following settings: [@portabletext/react] Unknown block type "tableBlock", specify a component for it in the `components.types` prop
   PowerShell profile script

   # Set the end point of the Prometheus API endpoint
   $uri = "https://<your-prometheus-url>/api/v1/query_range"
   
   # Changes step and rate values based on the timeframe of the page.
   switch ($timeFrame) {
       "last1Hour" { $step = '60'; $timeago = -1; $rate = '2m' }
       "last12Hours" { $step = '600'; $timeago = -12; $rate = '30m' }
       "last24Hours" { $step = '900'; $timeago = -24; $rate = '1h' }
       "last7Days" { $step = '1200'; $timeago = -168; $rate = '6h' }
       "last30Days" { $step = '1800'; $timeago = -720; $rate = '1d' }
       "last3Months" { $step = '7200'; $timeago = -2160; $rate = '1d' }
       "last6Months" { $step = '10800'; $timeago = -4320; $rate = '7d' }
       "last12Months" { $step = '21600'; $timeago = -8640; $rate = '7d' }
   }
   
   # Get the page timeframe start and end
   $end = Get-Date -Date (Get-Date) -UFormat %s
   $start = Get-Date -Date ((Get-Date).AddHours($timeago)) -UFormat %s

4. Download and import this dashboard pack.

   Download pack for SCOM Dashboard Server
   How to import a dashboard pack

   1. Download the dashboard pack zip file for the dashboard pack you wish to import.

      There may be additional steps before or after the import to get the dashboard working in your environment.

   2. In DS for SCOM go to the top right hand menu ☰ > Import Dashboard Packs and drag the zip file into the Manual Import box.
      

      

   3. The dashboard pack is imported and if the pack contains top-level dashboards, these will automatically appear in the navigation bar, usually in a folder called 'Community Dashboards' for dashboard packs from the SquaredUp Community. If the dashboard pack also contains perspectives (see Working with perspectives), then you'll see these when you drilldown to the relevant object.
   4. Carry out any additional steps required to make the dashboard work in your environment. These steps will be described on the download page for each dashboard. For example, you may need to create the correctly named Web API provider, create a PowerShell profile, or edit tile collections.
   5. Edit the imported dashboard as required.
