A workaround is possible:

Create "dummy" business group with dummy condition (the result of the filter can be empty) Create scheduled job that changes the status of the "dummy group" to operational state (if its operational set non operational and vice versa), it can run every few minutes. The scheduled job will make sure that the dashboard is refreshed with the latest status.
