Dashboard custom group versus super metric

[dcrijns]

Hello,

We have installed vRealize Operations Manager 6.6.1 and are very pleased with the GUI. It is a big step upwards from version 6.5.

We have created two super metrics to calculate the CPU capacity and one for the memory capacity totals for a group of VM's.

We created a custom group which filters the servers according to a custom tag. This shows all servers with that custom tag.

What we want to have now is a Dashboard with this group in an Object list which and another view which shows the totals of this Object list. The Object list is the easy part and is already created.

What do we have insert into a dashboard to make it show the totals which I created as 2 seperate supermetrics?

Thanks for the help.

Best regards

If I understand correctly, each SM is calculated on a host being a member of this custom group? If so - you can create View as Summary and use CG as a object to instantiate your view.

Ok thanks for the reply. I'll give this a try.

It's not possible to create a View as Summary based on a custom group.

Two supermetrics were created.

TotalMemoryGB
(sum(${adaptertype=VMWARE, objecttype=VirtualMachine, metric=mem|actual.capacity.normalized, depth=1}))/1024

TotalCPU
sum(${adaptertype=VMWARE, objecttype=VirtualMachine, metric=cpu|actual.capacity.normalized, depth=1})/1000

A custom group for Virtual Machines which filters on a custom tag.

I want a Total CPU view and a Total Memory view in a dashboard based a custom group.

Any ideas?

Best regards

1. It's not true - see screenshot. You need to add summary row to your view. Version 6.6.1

2.if your SMs are created and working fine, you can create a view based on SM object type and add this SM to a view with interaction

Excellent this approach worked for me.
