Not all of the mounted directories under the Guest File System are displayed in the condensed list when selecting a metric in Aria Operations Manager.

Products

• VMware Aria Operations 8.x

Issue/Introduction

Aria Operations presents a condensed list of metrics when creating a dashboard or an alert. This list might not display all Virtual Machine Guest OS mounted directories, specifically those in the Guest File System metric.

For example:
1. Navigate to Visualize > Dashboard > Create > Metric Chart
2. Click Edit Wideget > Output Data > Add New Metrics  

Environment

Aria Operations 8.x

Cause

Not all metrics are displayed in the condensed list of metrics. This design chose Aria Operations to prevent excessive system load.
The list is dynamically generated by randomly selecting metrics from five distinct resources, maintaining this selection for consistency.
The list only updates when a new metric is added to the associated resource or object.

Resolution

It is expected behavior.
