Hi,
I'm in the process of evaluating the fitness of vCops for a set of specific needs I have been given, and I'm struggling with one specific use case. I'm relatively new to vCops, so please, excuse my lack of deeper knowledge on the tool.
One of the requirements is analyzing performance data for a set of datastores as a group.
I have created a new "Resource Tag" which includes different values which identify each different group, for instance:
Resource Tag Name: StorageGroup
Possible values: Group1, Group2, Group3
I have tagged different datastores as belonging to either Group1, Group2, etc... and only to a specific group.
This way I can create dashboards based on the Group Tag as a whole, and for instance show Health score for a group with a "health status" widget on a custom dashboard. Or for instance, create heat maps, grouped by StorageGroup. So far so good.
BUT, now I need to be able to graph specific performance METRICS for the whole Group, and so far, I have been clueless as to how do it.
To clarify, for instance: as the resource tag groups only datastores, I want to be able to SUM "datastore->usage avegare" metric for all the datastores on a group, and graph that value as a group.
What is the best way to do this?
Thanks and kind regards.
Ferran.
