Views
As mentioned earlier, Views are used to display data from vRealize Operations in order to help administrators understand and interpret the information available to them. There are five parts that make up a View:
- Name and Description of the View.
- Presentation is how the View is going to be displayed. For example, it could be a Table of objects, and their metrics or properties, or it could be a distribution of specific objects, metrics, or properties in the form of a pie chart.
We will look at all six Presentation types:
- Subject: This is the object type(s) that the View is going to be based on
- Data: This is the data regarding those object types, that we are going to expose, and visualize in the View
- Visibility: The areas in vRealize Operations that the View is going to be available in.
