VMware Aria Operations collects metrics for the VMware Aria Operations cluster objects including dynamic threshold calculation metrics and capacity computation metrics.

Metrics can be calculated for cluster objects. See Calculated Metrics.

Cluster Metrics

Cluster metrics provide host, resource, and metric counts on the cluster.

Table 1. Cluster Metrics
Metric Key Metric Name Description
HostCount Number of Nodes in Cluster Number of Nodes in Cluster
PrimaryResourcesCount Number of primary resources Number of primary resources
LocalResourcesCount Number of local resources Number of local resources
PrimaryMetricsCount Number of primary metrics Number of primary metrics
ReceivedResourceCount Number of received resources Number of received resources
ReceivedMetricCount Number of received metrics Number of received metrics
Count (VM) Usage Count This metric displays how many units of the license capacity is currently used.
License Metrics for Cluster Object
Used (VM) Usage (%) This metric displays the percentage of the total license capacity currently used.
Note: An alert is generated if the license threshold is in any of the following states:
  • >= 80% - Warning
  • >= 90% - Immediate
  • =95% - Catastrophic
Days Remaining (day) Days Remaining This metric displays the days remaining before the license expires.
Capacity Capacity Displays the maximum number of units (of the given capacity type) that can be licensed by this license key.
Type Type Displays the license type for the cluster object.
Expiry Expiration Date Displays the date when the license expires.
Capacity Capacity Displays the maximum number of units (of the given capacity type) that can be licensed by this license key.
