Unable to see custom property when try to configure super metric

Products

• VCF Operations/Automation (formerly VMware Aria Suite)

Issue/Introduction

When configure super metric, not all custom properties were shown. All custom properties created will be seen at the bottom of the list.

Environment

Aria Operations: 8.18.3

Resolution

The suggestions are just an autocomplete function, and it's functionality is not to display every single option.

Below steps to manually set the key in the unformatted way.

1. Define a custom property to the Virtual Machine. Define Custom Property Workspace
2. Go to, Configurations --> Others --> Super Metrics.
3. Click on ADD and then give any name to the Super Metrics. Click NEXT.
4. In Object Types, dropdown and select 'Virtual Machine'. Click NEXT.
5. In Formula Section, enabled the 'Unformatted' option and type the formula manually in below format.
   ${this, metric=CustomProperty|nameOfProperty}

6. Click on Validate and Preview the result.

Note: With this, you can see custom property when you configure the super metric. Because custom property created are not automatically visible in super metrics so then need to manually set with above workaround
