Use this vRealize Operations dashboard to expore cluster capacity ranked by Time Remaining, Capacity Remaining, VMs Remaining, and Most Constrained Resource. Select a cluster to see Total Capacity, Usable Capacity, Usage, and Demand for CPU, Memory and Disk Space in the selected cluster.
- Import the super metric at
Administration/Configuration/Super Metrics/Import Super Metric
- Click
Browse...then select the file named Supermetrics.json - Edit the Policy at
Administration/Policies/Policy Library. The policy should bevSphere Solution's Default Policy (DATE)unless a new policy was explicitly created.
- Enable the Super Metrics for the specified object types. Do not enable the super metric for
All Object Types. The list of super metrics and object types are listed in the Super Metrics section.
- Import the custom groups at
Environment/Custom Groups/Gear Icon/Import Custom Group(s)
- Click
Browse...then select the file named CustomGroups.json - The included custom groups are listed in the Custom Groups section.
- Import the view at
Dashboards/Views/Import...
