Predefined Resource Tags
vCenter Operations Manager includes several predefined resource tags. It creates values for most of these tags
and assigns resources to the values.
For example, when you add a resource, vCenter Operations Manager assigns it to the tag value for the collector
it uses and the kind of resource that it is. It creates tag values if they do not already exist.
Table 3-1. Predefined Tags
Tag Description
Collectors (Full Set) Each defined collector is a tag value. Each resource is
assigned to the tag value for the collector that it uses when
you add the resource to vCenter Operations Manager. The
default collector is vCenter Operations Server.
Application Each defined application is a tag value. When you add a tier
to an application, the tier is assigned to that tag value.
Resources that belong to the tiers are not given the tag value.
Applications (Full Set) Each defined application is a tag value. When you add a tier
to an application, or a resource to a tier in an application, the
tier is assigned to that tag value.
Maintenance Schedules (Full Set) Each defined maintenance schedule is a tag value, and
resources are assigned to the value when you give them a
schedule by adding or editing them.
Adapter Kinds Each adapter kind is a tag value, and each resource that uses
that adapter kind is given the tag value.
Adapter Instances Each adapter instance is a tag value, each resource is assigned
the tag value for the adapter instance or instances through
which its metrics are collected.
Resource Kinds Each kind of resource is a tag value, and each resource is
assigned to the tag value for its kind when you add the
resource.
Recently Added Resources The last day, seven days, 10 days, and 30 days have tag
values. Resources have this tag value as long as the tag value
applies to them.
Health Ranges Good (green), Abnormal (yellow), Degraded (orange), Bad
(red), and Unknown (blue) health statuses have tag values.
Each resource is assigned the value for its current health
status.
Entire Enterprise The only tag value is Entire Enterprise Applications. This tag
value is assigned to each application.
GEO Location This tag always exists, but it has no default values. You must
create values and assign resources to them manually.
Tier Each defined tier is a tag value. When you add a resource to
a tier, the resource is assigned to that tag value.
Add a Value to a Resource Tag
A resource tag is a type of information, and a tag value is an individual instance of that type of information.
You can add multiple values to a resource tag. If a resource tag is locked, you cannot add values to it.
vCenter Operations Manager maintains locked resource tags.
Prerequisites
Add a resource tag. See “Add a Resource Tag,” on page 23.
