Aria Operation Super Metrics

[Shaun Williams]

I'm trying to create a super metric for ESXi hosts that displays the "licensed cores" in a scenario where the ESXi hosts have less than 16 cores per socket. 

It says the expression is valid, but the value never shows up. Also need to account for when the metric value is higher than 16, it displays that value. Anybody ever tried doing this?

Hi Shaun, I've created this super metric using if/else logic:

Try this:

sum({‌This Resource: ‌hardware|cpuInfo|numCpuCores}) / sum({‌This Resource: ‌cpu|numCpuSockets}) >= 16 ? sum({‌This Resource: ‌hardware|cpuInfo|numCpuCores}) : sum({‌This Resource: ‌cpu|numCpuSockets}) * 16

Thank you Thomas Rodrigues for steering me in the right direction. Here's what I came up with with your help. I created 2 separate super metrics:

this one is for cores per socket

(sum({This Resource: hardware|cpuInfo|numCpuCores}) / sum({This Resource: cpu|numCpuSockets}) < 16) 
? 16 
: (sum({This Resource: hardware|cpuInfo|numCpuCores}) / sum({This Resource: cpu|numCpuSockets}))

this one is total cores (for when you have more than 1 socket and the cores are still under 16)

(sum({This Resource: hardware|cpuInfo|numCpuCores}) / sum({This Resource: cpu|numCpuSockets}) < 16) 
? (sum({This Resource: cpu|numCpuSockets}) * 16) 
: sum({This Resource: hardware|cpuInfo|numCpuCores})

Once i have access to my lab, I'll attach the super metric json file. This was created in an HOL
