When monitoring is enabled, VMware Aria Automation retrieves VMware Aria Operations metrics about your deployments.
To access monitoring, click a deployment and select the Monitor tab. If the tab is missing, see Enable VMware Aria Operations data.
To see metrics, expand the component tree on the left, and highlight a virtual machine.
- Metrics are not cached. They come directly from VMware Aria Operations and might take a few moments to load.
- Only virtual machine metrics appear. Metrics from other components such as vCloud Director, Software, or XaaS are not supported.
- Only vSphere virtual machine metrics appear. Other cloud providers such as AWS or Azure are not supported.
