How many metrics are there that we need to analyse?

Here is the data from my lab. There are 58,406 metrics! vCenter Ops generated 7106 metrics.

You might ask… how big is my lab? J

It’s a small lab. It has multiple vCenters as we’re doing different demo. Only 156 VM and 10 ESXi, with around 20-30 VMs are powered off

So hopefully that helps convince that you need analytics. There are just too many objects and metrics to analyse.

This is also where super metric will come in handy.
