A super metric is a custom metric that you can define using existing metrics and mathematical functions. They allow you to create new metrics that are specific to your environment and can help you gain deeper insights into the performance and health of your infrastructure1. Before enabling a super metric in a policy, you need to associate it to an object type. An object type is a category of objects that share common characteristics, such as hosts, virtual machines, clusters, datastores, etc. By associating a super metric to an object type, you can calculate the super metric for all the objects of that type and display it in the dashboards and reports2. For example, if you create a super metric that calculates the average CPU usage of all the virtual machines in a cluster, you need to associate it to the cluster object type. Then, you can enable the super metric in a policy and apply it to the cluster object or group. This way, you can monitor the average CPU usage of the cluster as a super metric3. References: 1: Configuring Super Metrics 2: Metrics and Properties Details 3: Supercharge Your vRealize Operations with Super Metrics
