Can vRealize be used to get insight into NSX Load Balancer?

I'd be interested to see basic load balancer stats - like hit counts for the VIPs and pool members, transaction times,

maybe info on the source of the traffic to a VIP. I've hunted around in vRealize but so far not seeing anything.

Am I just missing it? Or should I use another tool to see these kinds of metrics? Thank you.

The vROPS Management Pack for NSX 3.5 does have some additional metrics for the NSX Load Balancer service but it is some what limited to traffic and session metrics.

For a full list of all metrics, take a look it this document: https://c368768.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com/product_files/29492/original/vRealize_Operations_Management_Pack...
