Using the badges to monitor resources
Badges are high-level indicators of the system. vROps computes the values of the badges depending upon how the system is performing. Badges are computed on a lot of parameters internally by vROps. One of the important criteria for badge computation is alerts generated in the system with impact specified as a badge.
Based on VMware best practices, the Badge severity is defined. The health badge reflects the current health of a particular object. The Risk badge indicates potential problems that might eventually degrade the performance of the system. For more details of badges, see VMware documentation.
Procedure
Log in to vROps as an admin user.
Navigate to the Environment tab and navigate to the resource level to view the badges of the resource. For more details on how to navigate to a specific resource, see Monitoring the discovered resources.
