Super Metrics

The following best practices help you design and use super metrics.

• Design super metrics for performance

  Avoid calculating large objects or using world level metrics that works on all VMs. Apply to only relevant objects and never apply to all objects.

• Make super metrics reusable

  Use Depth greater than 1 to allow vRealize Operations to expand higher levels. Use a clear naming convention without including a specific object name but use Function Object Metric Units.

• Enabling super metrics only for the relevant policy

  Enable super metrics for the relevant policy, not the base policy.

• Use group instead of the where clause.

  Using group instead of the where clause is easier to understand.
