This management pack lowers the knowledge barrier required to add your own content to Aria Operations. While the MP Builder is better for quick and simple addition, a native management pack empowers you to build more powerful features. With some programming and API knowledge, you can do the following:
- Add your own object
- Add your own metrics and properties. They can have complex logic as it's all done in programming. Attach them into existing object.
- Add your own alerts, dashboards, reports. To override existing ones, simply use the same ID
- Add your own super metric. This is handy if you want your users to be able to customise the formula, as super metric is editable.
- Add your own widget. Example is https://www.vcrocs.info/chartjs/
* vSphere API version must be higher than 8.0.1.0 (vSphere 7.x versions are not supported)
