Datacenter Custom Datacenter Cluster Compute Resource	Capacity Analytics Generated\|Memory\|Demand	Recommended Total Capacity (KB)	Metric	Total recommended Capacity in KB based on the current Capacity Calculation.
Datastore	Summary	Parent vCenter	Property	Allows to create dashboards or reports which can help identify the name of the vCenter to which a datastore belongs.
Datastore	Summary	Parent Datacenter	Property	Allows to create dashboards or reports which can help identify the name of the Datacenter to which a datastore belongs.
Virtual Machine	Summary\|Configuration	SRM Placeholder	Property	Helps identify if a virtual machine is a placeholder shadow created by vCenter Site Recovery Manager. One can create a dashboard, report or SuperMetrics using this property to solve use cases such as DR visibility, configuration tracking or capacity calculations for protected virtual machines.
	Guest	CPU Queue	Metric	Number of threads in the processor queue. A high number could result in poor performance of the applications. This metric is fetched using VMware Tools.
		Disk Queue	Metric	Number of storage IOs in the guest operating system disk queue. A high number could result in storage related performance issues. This metric is fetched using VMware Tools.
		Disk Queue Latest	Metric

Note: The Guest OS metrics listed above are available if the following requirements are met: vSphere 6.7 U1, vSphere 6.5 p03, or vSphere 6.0 p08. Each version must have VMware Tools 10.3.2 or higher installed on the Guest OS. See the Related Information section for more information.

vSAN Metrics and Properties

		Recommended Size (GB)	Metric	The recommended level of usable capacity to maintain a green state for time remaining.
		Time Remaining (Day(s))	Metric	Number of days remaining after which the usable capacity is no longer enough to support projected utilization levels. Utilization projections are based on historic trends and patterns.
	Capacity Analytics Generated\|Memory\|Demand	Capacity Remaining (GB)	Metric	Amount of usable capacity that is available for utilization. Availability is based on the historic utilization.
		Recommended Size (GB)	Metric	The recommended level of usable capacity to maintain a green state for time remaining.

Additional Information

As noted in the Resolution section, the Guest OS metrics must meet the listed requirements to be collected. In addition, the metrics may be susceptible to the issue noted in Memory Usage % Metric may show much higher than the guest OS utilization in vRealize Operations Manager 6.7 and later versions.
To avoid this issue, ensure VMware Tools is updated to version 10.3.x or later and the Resolution section of the above KB is followed to disconnect and reconnect the parent hosts.
