An administrator has been tasked with showing the average health of all virtual machines (VMs)...

TheVCF 9.0 Operations Guide – Metrics and Super Metricsexplains thatsuper metricsare used when administrators need to aggregate or compute new values from existing metrics. Super metrics can be applied across multiple objects, such as aggregating the health score of all VMs in a fleet.

The documentation states:

“A super metric is a user-defined formula that calculates a value derived from one or more existing metrics. Super metrics can be applied across objects to provide aggregate insights such as averages or totals.”

Dashboard (A):Dashboards can display metrics but cannot compute new aggregated values on their own.

Symptom (C):Used to define conditions that trigger alerts, not to compute average health values.

Alert (D):Alerts notify administrators of issues but do not calculate averages across many VMs.

Therefore, to display theaverage health score of all VMs across multiple clusters, the administrator must create asuper metricand then visualize it in a dashboard.
