Metric Definitions in vRealize Operations Manager 1 Metric definitions provide an overview of how the metric value is calculated or derived. If you understand the metric, you can better tune vRealize Operations Manager to display results that help you to manage your environment. vRealize Operations Manager collects data from objects in your environment. Each piece of data collected is ® called a metric observation or value.
vRealize Operations Definitions for Metrics, Properties, and Alerts Metrics for vCenter Server Components ® vRealize Operations Manager connects to VMware vCenter Server instances through the vCenter adapter to collect metrics for vCenter Server components and uses formulas to derive statistics from those metrics. You can use metrics to troubleshoot problems in your environment. vCenter Server components are listed in the describe.xml file for the vCenter adapter.
