Except for Self - Total, any metric that vCenter Operations Manager generates that begins with Self includes
data only for the resource. Metrics that begin with Full Set include data for all of the resource's children, but
do not include the resource itself.
Table 4-1. vCenter Operations Generated Attribute Package Metrics
Name Description
Self - Health Score Health score of the resource.
Self - Metric Count Number of metrics defined for the resource.
Self - KPI Count Number of KPI defined for the resource.
Self - Active Anomaly Count Number of currently active anomalies for the resource.
Self - New Anomaly Count Number of new anomalies for the resource. An anomaly is
new if it occurred for the first time in the most recent
collection cycle.
Self - Active KPI Breach Count Number of KPIs for the resource which are currently
violating their thresholds.
Self - New KPI Breach Count Number of KPIs for the resource with new threshold
violations. A breach is new if it occurred for the first time in
the most recent collection cycle.
Full Set - Metric Count Number of metrics defined for the resource’s children.
Full Set - KPI Count Number of KPI defined for the resource’s children.
Full Set - Anomaly Count Number of currently active anomalies for the resource’s
children.
Full Set - New Anomaly Count Number of new anomalies for the resource’s children. An
anomaly is new if it occurred for the first time in the most
recent collection cycle.
Full Set - Active KPI Breach Count Number of KPIs for the resource’s children which are
currently violating their thresholds.
Full Set - New KPI Breach Count Number of KPIs for the resource’s children with new
threshold violations. A breach is new if it occurred for the
first time in the most recent collection cycle.
Self - Total Anomalies Total number of active anomalies for the resource and all its
children. This is the only vCenter Operations Manager
generated metric that includes the resource itself and its
children. If you display the metric graph for this attribute, it
includes the calculated noise line for the resource, which is
the number of anomalies that triggers an early warning alert.
Availability Can be one of the following values.
n
1 (data is being received properly)
n
0 (resource is unavailable)
n
-1 (adapter resource is not receiving data for this
resource)
Creating Attribute Packages
An attribute package is a group of attributes that are related to a specific resource. When you assign an attribute
package to a resource, vCenter Operations Manager collects metrics for the attributes in the attribute package.
n
Add an Attribute Package on page 42
When you add an attribute package, you set a collection interval, specify the attributes to collect for a
resource, configure the type of threshold to use for each attribute, and indicate which attributes are KPIs.
