MSHostedResourceGroup topology object

An object that represents a resource group, but treated as a Host, since it extends HostExtension. The WindowsAgent’s 'treatResourceGroupAsHost' boolean must be enabled in order for these to be created. Along with the MSHostedResourceGroup, a new Host object of equivalent name is created. The two objects together can be used to represent the host on which a resource group is running. The actual host running the resource group can be determined from the object’s 'activeHost' property.

Metric Name
Metric Description
Metric Collected for These Platforms
activeHost

The host currently hosting the resource group. If performance metrics (such as CPU metrics) should be associated with the resource group, the values on the activeHost may be helpful.

clusterName

The cluster of which the resource group is a part.

Windows

host

A fabricated host, with name matching that of the MSHostedResourceGroup.

Windows

name

The name of the hosted resource group, shared by the host property’s name. It is a combination of the clusterName and resource group name.

Memory topology object
