Not seeing real-time metrics option on dashboards

Products

• VCF Operations/Automation (formerly VMware Aria Suite)

Issue/Introduction

In the past you used to be able to keep 3 days of real time metrics for Aria Operations dashboards. You no longer see that as an option. 

Environment

Cause

• The Near-Real Time Monitoring for vSphere objects, which gives the ability to pull data from vCenter/s every 20-seconds was only available on Aria Operations Cloud (SaaS)
• If you have transitioned to on-prem Aria Operations 8.x, the default collection interval is every 5 minutes
