summary|total_number_hosts Total Number of Hosts Total number of hosts.
summary|total_number_vms Total Number of VMs Total number of virtual machines.
summary|max_number_vms Maximum Number of VMs Maximum number of virtual machines.
summary|workload_indicator Workload Indicator Workload indicator.
summary|total_number_clusters Total Number of Clusters Total number of clusters.

Calculated Metrics
vRealize Operations Manager calculates metrics for capacity, badges, and the health of the system.
Calculated metrics apply to a subset of objects found in the describe.xml le that describes each adapter.
From data that the vCenter adapter collects, vRealize Operations Manager calculates metrics for objects of
type:
n
vSphere World

Capacity and Project-Based Metrics
The capacity engine computes and publishes metrics that help you to plan your resource use based on
consumer demand. Project-based metrics are a subset of capacity metrics that help to plan future resource
use based on predicted consumer demand.
Capacity Metrics Group
For the capacity metrics group, full metric names include the name of the resource container. For example, if
density metrics are computed for CPU or memory, the actual metric names appear as cpu|density or mem|
density.
