Host System Metrics
vRealize Operations Manager collects many metrics for host systems, including CPU use, datastore, disk,
memory, network, storage, and summary metrics for host system objects.
Capacity metrics can be calculated for host system objects. See “Capacity and Project-Based Metrics,” on
page 62.
vFlash Module Metrics for Host Systems
vFlash Module metrics provide information about the host system's ash devices.
