Hi Everyone
I encounter an issue with new Super Metric creation.
My goal is the following:
I would like to create a super metric which will calculate for each ESXi host server (Separately) the following information:
how much usable CPU capacity and how much usable MEM capacity each ESXi server has.
and I would like to show this information within custom dashboard. and I would like to show this information for each ESXi host server Separately.
I stuck on the initial phase. The new super metric which I recently created does not show up on "All Metrics' tab (under vSphere/Std UI)
I am using VMware vCenter Operations Manager Version 5.8.3 Build 2076729
I have created the following:
1) Environment > Super Metrics > Super Metric Editor
I created new super metric with the following characterized:
First I clicked on the button "This" , so rather than choosing specific Resource , vCops will calculate the Super Metric Separately for each Entity that this Super Metric is attach to.
I choose under Resources any ESXi Sever (not Resource Kinds , because I would like to calculate Separately the Super Metric for each ESXi Host Server).
So the formula finally looks like: $This:M796*0.8
and it's interpreter as This Resource:cpu|toalCapacity_average*0.8
it's 0.8 because I am conserving 20% resources for future growth and for disaster.
my question is: Do I need to choose "Resources" or should I choose "Resource Kinds" ?
The next step I was doing is to create new Super Metric Package.
So I was going to
2) Environment > Super Metrics > Package Editor
I tick the check box which is near the name of the Super Metric which I recently created and that's all. anything else I was not changing. means it's the default configuration.
The next step is to go to
3) Environment > Configuration > Resource Kind Defaults
now within this screen I choose:
Adapter Kind: VMware Adapter
Under Name I choose: Host System
and under Super Metric package I choose: the name of the Super Metric package which I recently created.
The next step is to go to
4) Environment > Environment Overview
and to choose on the left navigation bar: "Resource Kinds". and under it to choose "Host System"
now I highlight all ESXi Host Servers which I would like to apply the recently created Super Metric and click on the edit button.
and for each ESXi host server I attached the recently created Super Metric Package.
in this point as far as I understand , I need to start see under the vSphere UI (means the std UI) , while choosing any ESXi host server from the left navigation pane , and then browsing to:
5) Operations > All Metrics
I supposed to see anything named "Super Metric"
and the problem is: I DONT SEE , the Supper Metric doest exist at all.
what is missing ?
what I am doing wrong ?
thanks in advanced for any assistance.
