Storage counters at the higher level

As you can expect by now, vCenter does not provide information for storage at this level, but vRealize Operations does. The following table lists the key counters. Except for the World object, the rest of the objects provide all the counters. Take note that their values include local datastores. If you want to exclude the local datastores, create a group.

I included the Workload (%) counter as it may be easier for the operations team to deal with a percentage rather than raw data. For example, if you have 20 vCenter Servers and they show different KBps numbers, it is difficult to understand the significance of that value at a glance—is it higher or lower than, or the same as, last time? If you use the 0-100 range as a percentage, you can color code the range to help the operations team.

The following table shows the cluster counters of vRealize Operations:

Object	Purpose	Counters	Roll up
Data center	Contention	Disk Command Latency (millisecond)	Average...
