Badge metrics provide information for badges in the user interface. They report the health, risk, and efficiency of objects in your environment.

VMware Aria Operations 6.x analyzes badge metric data at five-minute averages, instead of hourly. As a result, you might find that efficiency and risk badge calculations are more sensitive than in previous versions. Badge metrics continue to be published nightly.

Table 1. Badge Metrics
Metric Name Description
Badge|Compliance Badge|Compliance(%) metric shows the compliance score for the given object based on the number of violated and total number of compliance symptoms calculated with the following formula [Math.round(100 - (((double)triggeredSymptoms/totalSymptoms)*100))]. So, this metric shows the compliance score per object based on the violated symptoms (which can be seen under the object's details Compliance tab). This metric should not be mixed up with the compliance score shown for the benchmark in the Optimize > Compliance page which considers compliant/non-compliant vs total objects.Badge|Compliance(%) metric is used in 4 views: - Compliance \ VM Distribution - Compliance \ vSphere Distributed Port Groups - Compliance \ vSphere ESXi Hosts - Compliance \ vSphere VMs, as well as 1 deprecated dashboard's widget - vSphere Security Compliance dashboard's Compliance Summary widget.
Badge|Efficiency Overall score for efficiency. The final score is between 1-100. Where Green - 100, Yellow - 75, Orange - 50, Red - 25, Unknown: -1. The score is derived from the criticality of alerts in the Efficiency category.
Badge|Health Overall score for health. The final score is between 1-100. Where Green - 100, Yellow - 75, Orange - 50, Red - 25, Unknown: -1. The score is derived from the criticality of alerts in the Health category.
