Question 48 - 5V0-35.21 discussion

According to the VMware vRealize Operations Reference Materials, the purpose of the self-provider option within the dashboard definition is to indicate whether objects appearing in the widget are defined in the widget or are provided by another widget source. The self-provider option is a checkbox that can be enabled or disabled for each widget in a dashboard. When the self-provider option is enabled, it means that the widget has its own object selector, and the user can choose the objects to display in the widget from the available inventory. When the self-provider option is disabled, it means that the widget does not have its own object selector, and the objects to display in the widget are provided by another widget in the same dashboard. For example, a widget that shows the metrics of a selected object can be configured as a non-self-provider, and it can receive the object selection from another widget that shows the list of objects. The other options are incorrect because they are either false or irrelevant. The self-provider option does not affect the refresh content setting, the custom set of metrics, or the automatic refreshing of the data in the widget display. These are separate settings that can be configured for each widget independently of the self-provider option.References:Create a Dashboard;Widget Configuration;Dashboard Interactions
