Issue/Introduction

Symptoms:
vRealize Operations Manager 7.0 has introduced many new metrics and properties to help track and monitor your environments.

Environment

VMware vRealize Operations Manager 7.0.x

Resolution

The list bellow includes all of the new vSphere and vSAN metrics included in vRealize Operations Manager 7.0.

vSphere Metrics and Properties

DatastoreSummaryParent vCenterProperty

Allows to create dashboards or reports which can help identify the name of the vCenter to which a datastore belongs.

Parent DatacenterProperty

Allows to create dashboards or reports which can help identify the name of the Datacenter to which a datastore belongs.

Virtual MachineSummary|ConfigurationSRM PlaceholderProperty

Helps identify if a virtual machine is a placeholder shadow created by vCenter Site Recovery Manager. One can create a dashboard, report or SuperMetrics using this property to solve use cases such as DR visibility, configuration tracking or capacity calculations for protected virtual machines.

GuestCPU QueueMetric

Number of threads in the processor queue. A high number could result in poor performance of the applications. This metric is fetched using VMware Tools.

Disk QueueMetric

Number of storage IOs in the guest operating system disk queue. A high number could result in storage related performance issues. This metric is fetched using VMware Tools.

Disk Queue LatestMetric
Note: The Guest OS metrics listed above are available if the following requirements are met: vSphere 6.7 U1, vSphere 6.5 p03, or vSphere 6.0 p08. Each version must have VMware Tools 10.3.2 or higher installed on the Guest OS.  See the Related Information section for more information.

Additional Information

As noted in the Resolution section, the Guest OS metrics must meet the listed requirements to be collected.  In addition, the metrics may be susceptible to the issue noted in Memory Usage % Metric may show much higher than the guest OS utilization in vRealize Operations Manager 6.7 and later versions.
To avoid this issue, ensure VMware Tools is updated to version 10.3.x or later and the Resolution section of the above KB is followed to disconnect and reconnect the parent hosts.
