An administrator has created a new super metric on one of the vRealize Operations instance and would now like to consistently apply it to the other vRealize Operations instances in the environment…

Question

Options

• AExport the super metric
• BImport the super metric
• CAdd the super metric
• DUpdate the super metric

• A
  10% (5)
• B
  84% (42)
• C
  2% (1)
• D
  4% (2)

Explanation

Option B (Import) is correct because the administrator has already created the super metric on one instance and exported it to a JSON file. The task on the destination instances is to bring that JSON file in - which is the import operation. Importing reads the JSON definition and registers the super metric on the target vROps instance, making it available exactly as configured on the source.

• A (Export) is wrong because the export was done on the source instance to produce the JSON file - that step is already complete.
• C (Add) is wrong because "Add" creates a brand-new super metric from scratch; it doesn't consume an existing JSON definition, so you'd lose consistency across instances.
• D (Update) is wrong because Update modifies an existing super metric on the instance - there's nothing to update yet since the metric doesn't exist on the destination.

Memory tip: Think of it as a two-stop journey - the source exports, the destination imports. The question tells you you're standing at the destination, so the answer is always the second stop: Import.
