Summary

In this chapter, we covered the world of counters in vCenter and vRealize Operations. The counters were analyzed based on their four main groupings (CPU, RAM, disk, and network). We also covered each of the metric groups, which maps to the corresponding objects in vCenter. For the counters, we also shared how they are related, and how they differ.

In the next four chapters, we will dive deeper into each of these four main groupings, dedicating a chapter to each group.
