Network counters at higher levels
As covered earlier in the book, vCenter does not provide information for the network at higher levels (Datacenter, vCenter, World). vRealize Operations provides a set of counters for the network at these levels, which are useful for overall visibility.
This table lists the key counters. The only exception is that the packet dropped information is not available at the World level. I've kept the table cell blank for ease of comparison:
