Lookup information and metrics for VMware ETLs
This topic lists Configuration and Performance metrics in BMC Helix Continuous Optimization collected by VMware ETL modules for entities such as Virtual Hosts, Clusters, VMs, Resource Pools, Datastores, Datastore Clusters, and data centers.
Lookup information
Entity relationship
The Workspace navigation tree shows all the visible relationships that are currently valid. The available relationship types are CONTAINS and USES. The CONTAINS relationship type applies to Parent entities whereas the USES relationship type applies to child entities. For more details, see Relationships.
The following table lists various parent and child combinations of entities managed by this ETL along with a brief description of such combinations. The last column denotes whether the Workspace entity tree displays the corresponding parent-child entity relationship.
Virtual Host configuration metrics
1 Indicates metrics that are set at level 4. These metrics are imported only when the collection level of the ETL is set to ‘Extended’.
For information about changing the collection level, see VMware-vCenter-Extractor-Service. Alternatively, you can create a custom metric profile to change the level of these metrics. For details, see Adding-and-managing-metric-profiles.
2 Indicates metrics available for HostInternetScsiHba Host Bus Adapter if the HBA card is configured.
3 Indicates metrics available for HostFibreChannelHba Host Bus Adapter if the HBA card is configured.
Virtual Host performance metrics
1 Indicates metrics that are set at level 4. These metrics are imported only when the collection level of the ETL is set to ‘Extended’. For information about changing the collection level, see VMware-vCenter-Extractor-Service. Alternatively, you can create a custom metric profile to change the level of these metrics. For more information, see Adding-and-managing-metric-profiles.
2 Indicates metrics for which custom details can be imported using the VMware - vCenter Extractor Service ETL.
Virtual Host Datastore performance metrics
All the metrics are set at level 4. These metrics are imported only when the collection level of the ETL is set to ‘Extended’. For information about changing the collection level, see VMware-vCenter-Extractor-Service. Alternatively, you can create a custom metric profile to change the level of these metrics. For details, see Adding-and-managing-metric-profiles.
