How to provide "aggregate" view of customized datastore super matrix ?

Hi everyone,

I  just create a simple super matrix for Datastore utilization on those individual datastore ( i.e. Used space / Total space ) .

If I used the default generic scoreboard / dashboard, basically it will just display each individual datastore utilization %  in an "per datastore view".

My cluster is having many datastore and listing all individual datastore util % is not going to help me to get a high level picture.

I want to show it as an "Average util % per cluster / per datacentre" level, how can I do that ?

Thx.

Bgds,

Gordon

Applying to the cluster.. this would be the enumerated formula. The SM sits at the cluster level, then drops 2 degrees of separation down the datastores under the hosts.

ceil( (avgN(Datastore: Disk Space|Total used (GB),2)/avgN(Datastore: Disk Space|Capacity (GB),2))*100)

I'm using a looping functions dropping 2 levels on the inside, then ceil to round up to a integer..

HI Mark J,

Sorry don't quite follow, mind to share some screen capture for me to clear understand what matrix to select and where to apply the SM ? Thx.

Add the SM I gave you to a SM package. Apply that package to your cluster compute resources.

On the formula SM I gave you, use RKs and Attributes. As a reminder - do not use $This. No screenshots possible at the moment.

Hello folks,

I am trying to achieve the same as OP, preferably using vROps. As I am new to vROps, any suggestions (like screenshots) will be very much appreciated.

Kind regards,

Peter
