vReaplize Operations Manager 6 Custom dashboards and XML

[vSohill]

Hi vmware community,

In vCOps 5.x custom dashboards we used to write  supermetrics ID in the XML file. I found the supermetrics ID in vROps is very long code.Even I tried to add that long code to the XML flie but I got blue box (No data).  Am I on the right way?

Many Thanks

Yep your on the right track. but you need to place an sm_ before the ID.

you need that ID, but in the XML file you would need to configure it like this : metric attrkey="Super Metric|sm_<ID>"

Thanks alot for your help,

Which one of these are correct:

<Metric attrkey="Super Metric|1c5b8755-34b2-4b81-9e96-cbd03e20ffc1" label="CPU - TOTAL CAPACITY" unit="GHz" yellow="100001" orange="100005" red="100006" /

or

<Metric attrkey="sum(${this, attribute=summary|total_number_vms})|1c5b8755-34b2-4b81-9e96-cbd03e20ffc1" label="CPU - TOTAL CAPACITY" unit="GHz" yellow="100001" orange="100005" red="100006" /

where

1c5b8755-34b2-4b81-9e96-cbd03e20ffc1 is the ID

sum(${this, attribute=summary|total_number_vms}) is the SM

the first one looks correct except you need sm_ before the id as per my first post.
