the (only) way to achieve this is to tweak the permissions for the user which is collecting data,
so that it can't see the VMs
I haven't tried that, and wouldn't really reccommend it, but maybe it will work

Re: vRops 6.0.2 - can't create new reports or edit them after upgrade from 6.0.1
have you checked about any disk-space issues on the vrops vm(s)?
besides that, I'd suggest to support call with vmware

SNMP Trap: Only getting a little info - missing a lot
I set up the SNMP trap plugin on our vROPS server. I have it sending the data to our vRealize Orchestrator server where I have the vRO SNMP Trap event policy setup to capture the trap data. I let it run over the weekend and received a lot of trap info, but all of it seems constrained to only the following OIDs:
1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.4.5.1.0.46
1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.4.5.1.0.47
1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.4.5.1.0.48
I'm trying to get info such as high CPU on a VM and high memory usage on a VM, but am not getting that info at all. I checked the default policy on vROPS and it shows those MIBs are loaded (as are all the default RFMs), but the data is not coming across for some reason. Anyone have a suggestion on what to debug next? Thanks.

Re: vROPS 6 backup best practices, is live incremental backup possible?
AFAIK the vmware's own VDP and the Netbackup tools provide such capabilities

Re: 'Provisioned" Metric is greater than Total Capacity , Why ?
Total capacity is the amount of RAM or Mhz that the hosts have, you can put your hands on it.
Provisioned is how much resources you have granted your VMs, this is where you can over provision and is most often a good thing for storage as it grows over time. If you're finding that you're over provisioned on CPU, you may cause high CPU ready and need to lower the amount of vCPUs configured to your VMs. If you're over provisioned on RAM and a VM makes use of all of that RAM, it may page out to disk.
Total = Available
Provisioned = Given to VMs, but may not be available when needed (over provisioned).

Dashboard widget can set default metric key ???
Hi vRops Guru guys,
I face this problem and googled so many time.... please help me... T_T
After I drag and drop widget that I would want to show (from picture is a scoreboard widget) and then...
I jump to select "widget interaction" and choose name of object list widget to feed data from my cluster.
Problem is... I got metrics data that I don't want even I didn't configure any thing (Include Metric Configuration [XML]) in that new Scoreboard. (please see my picture)
and Self Provider is set to off also. I want to get it blank like a usual... another widget is also effect too.
Thank you so much for every reply >.<
Ps. before I face this problem, my office mate installed alot of management pack (e.g. NSX, Hyperic, Log insight etc) ; I'm not sure it will cause this issue

Re: Can I maintain VROPS historical information when cross vcenter vmotion occurs?
Been busy, but I was finally able to give this a try in my lab today. I was able to successfully live vmotion between my 2 linked vcenter servers. This in itself is very cool, but unfortunately vrops does not recognize the vm once it's moved. Everytime I vmotion, vRops re-discovers the vm and creates a new object for it.

Re: Can I maintain VROPS historical information when cross vcenter vmotion occurs?
yes, that's correct.
VM's UUID changes when it's moved between vCenters and vROps does not account for this yet

Re: Chart with Multiple Objects and One Metric?
parmand
RE: "stacked view insists on showing the metric instead of the object".
I understand this is know issue and has been addressed by HotFix 2 as part of release 6.0.1 (see; VMware vRealize Operations Manager 6.0.1) .
RE: "Even better would be if I can have it show jsut a line, not a filled in graph like the stacked graph likes to do, but I can't see anywhere to do that"
click the "stacked chart" icon on your metric chart widget - this is the 2nd icon from the right - and that will give you line charts per object, not stacked data.
hope that helps

Troubleshooting high VM % CPU Contention in vROps
Hope someone can help ... (been through all the good blogs out there and clearly there is still more to understand !) ...
Have a few 2 vCPU software firewalls (VMs) on our environment with CPU Contention > 20% (Demand ~70% and Usage ~50%) but can't find VM CPU counters that can explain possible cause?
Observation 1: each of the following VM CPU counters in vROps are well under 1% [% CPU Idle|% CPU Ready|%CPU Co-stop|%CPU IO Wait| %CPU System | %CPU Swap Wait]I
So , no help there . What other counter could show where that 20% CPU contention comming from ?
Or am I showhow mis-understanding what the % CPU contention is indicating (I expect one of the above counters to give me the root-cause of the contention) ?
Observation 2: when I create a stacked-chart of cpu|used(ms) + cpu|idle(ms) + cpu|ready(ms) + cpu|co-stop(ms) + cpu|iowait (ms) + cpu|swap-wait (ms) , vROps clearly shows used(ms) =~50% and idle(ms)=~50% (of the total 40000ms total cpu-time).
So why is this time-based CPU| idle(ms) counter indicating ~50% idle , whereas the %cpu idle counter (for same VM , same time-period) says less than 1% ?
Thanks

Cluster status stuck on "Going Online"
Dear all,
I have a new deployment of vRealize Operation Manager 6.0.2. The cluster consists of one master node, one master replica, one data node and one remote collector. The cluster was deployed on top of Vsphere 6.0
I have enabled High Availability and when I tried to start the cluster, it keeps on running for a long time (around an hour), and stuck on "Going Online" status.
I've tried to reinstall all the nodes and repeat the same process, and sometimes it failed with "Cluster failed to come online due to a node being restarted".
I've tried the same set up with 6.0.1 and the result is same.
I noticed there is a known issue (http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2106950) however my build is newer than 6.0.0.
Finally I removed all the nodes but the master node, now the cluster can be started successfully. Any ideas on how to troubleshooting this with multiple nodes in the cluster?
Thanks
Silvester

Re: vROPS 6 disk space question and rebalance
When nodes are added to your vROPs cluster, a rebalance of the cluster must be completed.
Rebalance the vRealize Operations Manager Cluster
For better performance you can rebalance adapter, disk, memory, or network load across the vRealize Operations Manager cluster nodes.

vRealize Collection interval change
Hi,
We are experiencing performance issues in our vmware environment and I installed vRealize to see if there are any obvious issues. But the collection resolution of 5 minutes is too long is it possible to change this to one minute or ever 20 seconds? And if so, how will it affect performance?
Thanks for your input.

Re: vRealize Collection interval change
Hi Marcus,
Yes it is possible to change collection interval to 1 min (you can specify collection interval by minutes), but is impossible to set by seconds. You can go to Administration -> Inventory Explorer select objects where you need to change collection interval then press Edit Object button (yellow pencil) and in Advanced Settings section change the Collection Interval.

Thanks for that! It worked But how do I change the rollup interval in the details reports to 1 minute? Lowest choice now is 5 minutes.

vRealize Operations Manager 6.0.1 and VMware OSP tools
I'm seeing/hearing conflicting information regarding vRealize and the OSP version of VMware tools.
Basically, we have a puppet environment that has installed the OSP version of the VMware tools on most of our Linux-based guests. I'm reading/hearing conflicting information as to the ability of vRealize to utilize these tools to drill-down into the VM to gather data.
My question is do the OSP tools provide the same level of support/data as the ESXi-provided tools? Are we doing ourselves a disservice by using this version rather than the ESXi-provided version? Personally, I'd rather manage the VMtools deployment using VCUM, but I got shot down on that argument.
