Tags, application groups, and custom groups

vRealize Operations offers the following constructs which allow us to logically group or filter objects:

  • Tags
  • Application groups
  • Custom groups

Tags and application groups are used to logically organize similar objects, for example by application, by an organization, or by location.

Do not confuse vRealize Operations tags with vSphere tags. These are two different constructs.

Custom object groups logically organize objects in your environment and enable you to customize the operational view of your infrastructure to meet specific business needs.

Using tags

A tag provides a way of grouping objects by logical function, such as departments, organizations, or region.
