Anyone know how I can get the total number of objects in a custom group?

I would like to use it on a scoreboard in a dashboard.

I have created some Custom Groups based on VMs with different vSphere TAGs.

I'm unable to find a metric or property on the Custom Group that shows the total amount of members.

Do I have to use a Super Metric? If so, how is that done in this scenario?

Kind regards

You need to be 6.4 vrops to get the count super metric

I use this all the time and works great

count(${adaptertype=VMWARE, objecttype=VirtualMachine, attribute=badge|health, depth=1})

In short this will count all the heath badges of the vMs in the group regardless of the badge score

Similar thing for hosts

count(${adaptertype=VMWARE, objecttype=HostSystem, attribute=badge|health, depth=1})

Perfect, just what I was looking for.

I'm running 6.4, so the Super Metric you provided worked fine.
