Managing Custom Object Groups in
VMware vRealize Operations Manager
A custom object group is a container that includes one or more objects. vRealize Operations Manager uses
custom groups to collect data from the objects in the group, and report on the data collected.
Why Use Custom Object Groups?
You use groups to categorize your objects and have vRealize Operations Manager collect data from the
groups of objects and display the results in dashboards and views according to the way you dene the data
to appear.
You can create static groups of objects, or dynamic groups with criteria that determines group membership
as vRealize Operations Manager discovers and collects data from new added to the environment.
vRealize Operations Manager provides commonly used object group types, such as World, Environment,
and Licensing. vRealize Operations Manager uses the object group types to categorize groups of objects. You
assign a group type to each group so that you can categorize and organize the groups of objects that you
create.
Types of Custom Object Groups
When you create custom groups, you can use rules to apply dynamic membership of objects to the group, or
you can manually add the objects to the group. When you add an adapter to vRealize Operations Manager,
the groups associated with the adapter become available in vRealize Operations Manager.
n
Dynamic group membership. To dynamically update the membership of objects in a group, dene rules
when you create a group. vRealize Operations Manager adds objects to the group based on the criteria
that you dene.
n
Mixed membership, which includes dynamic and manual.
n
Manual group membership. From the inventory of objects, you select objects to add as members to the
group.
n
Groups associated with adapters. Each adapter manages the membership of the group. For example,
the vCenter Server adapter adds groups such as datastore, host, and network, for the container objects
in the vSphere inventory. To modify these groups, you must do so in the adapter.
Administrators of vRealize Operations Manager can set advanced permissions on custom groups. Users
who have privileges to create groups can create custom groups of objects and have
vRealize Operations Manager apply a policy to each group to collect data from the objects and report the
results in dashboards and views.
