Procedure
1 Set Self Provider to On to define resources in the widget configuration.
2 Select tag values in the Select which tags to show list to show only resources that have certain tag values
in the widget.
You can use icons on the toolbar at the top of the list to collapse, expand, and deselect all of the tags in the
list.
When you select more than one value for the same tag, the widget includes resources that have either
value. When you select values for two or more tags, the widget includes only resources that have all of
the selected values. When you click the Invert Result icon, the widget includes only resources that do not
match the tag values that you select.
3 Click OK to save the widget configuration.
Health Status Widget
The Health Status widget shows the health score for selected resources. You can also configure the widget to
show a custom metric and specify colors for metric ranges.
Health status is a 0 to 100 ranking that vCenter Operations Manager determines for each resource. For each
resource, the widget includes the current health score and a graph that shows how the health score has changed
over time. You can double-click the graph for a resource to view the Resource Detail page for that resource.
Figure 4-10. Health Status Widget
If vCenter Operations Manager
does not receive metrics for a resource at a particular time, it cannot calculate
a health score for that time and it shows a score of -1 on the graph. A -1 score can occur if collection is turned
off for a resource or if vCenter Operations Manager encounters a data gathering problem.
