I've never seen a case where someone would want a fresh report generated every 15/30min. Realistically, who would read it so often? The historical data stays within vR Ops, so you shouldn't need a hard copy on such a tight interval. E.x. Would you want a copy of your water bill every day? IMO if you're looking for data that is updated every 15min/30min, there is a better solution.. Use a dashboard.

Re: vROps DR architecture design
Depends on your scale of the data sources. If it's realistic scale/resource-wise, deploy 2x instance, each monitoring both prod and DR workload/data sources. Use prod primarily, and DR if prod take a nap. I wouldn't suggest re-IP'ing vR Ops as part of your DR design.. have your infrastructure already stood up and running. You'll have more important things to worry about if you're in DR crisis.. And in case you were thinking about it.. DO NOT EVEN FATHOM DOING A STRETCH VROPS CLUSTER ACROSS PROD AND DR DATACENTERS.

Re: Event for showing adding cpu/mem
You'd probably pick it up on the change events from vCenter. If the event doesn't has it, you'd see the # vcpu/vmem change in the metrics.

Re: HP StoreFront Analytics unexplained differences between vCOPS and vROPS
vC Ops pretty much just used Anomalies/DTs and KPI for calculating health on non-vSphere resources (vSphere were badge| which consider workload,anom and faults). vR Ops introduced the ability for MPs to better/easier define their derived metrics such as workload, health, etc. Hp may have gotten on-board with their new MP to leverage those new capabilities. If you go in to the /conf folder in the HP plug-in under the covers, I bet you'd see some changes in how the files are configured and what amount of structure is defined to leverage the new vROps derived metrics. And so.. I'd bet your differences are a mix of MPs developing their derived metrics and changes in the way vR Ops can calc health.

Re: vRealize Operations Manager 6.0.1 and VMware OSP tools
Nothing really magical has changed in the last couple years re the ability to look in to VMs using Infrastructure Navigator. vRIN uses VIX to hit the vmtools to grab some network handles, some disk mount info, etc. Pretty basic stuff and only enough to accomplish the core goals of vRIN. I probably shouldn't oversimplify it, but effectively it just gives us a few basic things today. Re OSP, OSP tool installs should work fine with vRIN. I expect it'd be the same level of data. I see OSPs typically used to better target specifics OSs and use native capabilities instead of using the bazooka approach of using a standardized installer. If you're curious, simply let vRIN discover the system and see what you've got. You'll see processes (app dependencies/process mapping), net handles that link your servers, some mount point stats, etc. If you find that your OSP yields some different result in terms of vRIN discovery, I'd be curious to hear about it.

Re: Troubleshooting high VM % CPU Contention in vROps
Usage is 50%, however 'COULD' be 70% is it wasn't 20% constrained. The Q is where is the contention coming from? Check all the other VMs on the host to ensure vCPU don't > pCPU? What do the other VMs show for contention? Limits in place? The alert in vR Ops is actually a nice starting point.. then Analysis tab.. then troubleshooting tab.

Re: vROPS 6.0 Custom Report Schedule
The metrics data values from these reports will be used in a centralized monitoring system and looking to increase the frequency, I agree to what you say but didn't find any other method so far which could help to share the raw data of vCOPS/vROPS metrics externally... Any suggestions ?
Dashboard is good to visualize but needed more than it

"No Data Available" in some dashboards. vROps 6.0.2
Hi,
I'm running a vROps eval and I'm getting "No Data Available" on the widgets in many of the built-in dashboards including "vSphere Hosts Overview", "vSphere VMs CPU", "vSphere VMs Memory". I have tried shutting down the DB and rebooting the node. I have checked the the Licensing Groups are present and configured as expected.
A call has been logged with support but after over a week I still haven't been able to resolve and I want to avoid redeploying vROps.
Has anyone seen or heard of this condition?
Thanks in advance,
Neil.

vROPS 6.0.2 - Multiple -idle- connections to the vCenter
Hi folks,
after deployment of the vROPS OVA i noticed that the collector-user openend multiple connections (about 10) to the vcenter. But the connection won't get closed after time. They go to idle-state and thats it.
I noticed that in de C# Client und Connections.
Anyone got a clue how to make sure the connections will be closed when not needed anymore? is there a way to restrict the number of opened connections in vrops?
thx in advance

Re: Troubleshooting high VM % CPU Contention in vROps
One thing to consider is that CPU Ready and CPU Usage don't have to be mutually exclusive to each other. I have seen it many times where CPU Ready is high and usage is low. In my experience, the cause it typically either many oversized VM's on the cluster creating scheduling problems. (Co-Stop can hunt this down) and the other is that the BIOS settings for the hosts are set for some sort of power management for the CPU. (During times of lower CPU utilization the BIOS is scaling back the CPU and VMware is unaware that the available resource is not fully available.)
Cheers,

Re: vROPS 6.0 Custom Report Schedule
I've got a solution for ya.. RestAPI! Using this, you can fetch objects and metrics from vR Ops nd dump them directly OR indirectly wherever you need them in whatever format. You can also use vRO as the middleman to aid in the integration. Ultimately the API method will keep you hands off in getting the metrics from A to B. Reports are great, but by no means meant to act as the stream of data flowing in to another monitoring system.

Re: ITBM82 service not starting
Probably the wrong place to ask this question for you but since I stumbled across it, have you installed the vRealize Automation Appliance? It integrates into this and is part of the front end. It puts a tab on that page for vRealize Business. You have to edit the user's permissions to have access to be a Business Admin (or something along those lines) and be sure the times are in sync exactly as I have seen the tab never show up information if vCenter, the appliance or Business are not all synced.

I am seeing this same issue when exporting a custom dashboard to a customer but removing the "panel" widget is not an option as it is happening on multiple widgets that provide basically the whole dashboard.

That is expected behavior. Is it causing a functional problem or merely annoying to see?

Re: "No Data Available" in some dashboards. vROps 6.0.2
Pardon if I may ask a dumb question. IS the data available to vR Ops?
When we say "available", we mean "available to the user account used to collect data from the data source". Its a matter of perspective.
Few things to check:
1. Check that the vR Ops collection perms can actually access the objects. (you can switch to a admin account if you want to check very easily, give it 15min to collect data a couple cycles, then see if you're still getting 'no data')
2. Ensure the objects hasn't been deleted and still exist TO collect from.
Start by finding an object of interest that is showing "no data available". Find it in the "Administration > Environment" tab. Go over to vCenter and see if it's there. Is it there? is it not? What are the perms on that object in vCenter? Start with those things.. then we'll poke at the "object of interest" you found in the last step when you come back here..

Re: vRealize Operations Management Pack for F5 BIG-IP
I would like to know how/if you intend to create relationships between your Big-IP objects and other vR Ops objects (such as VMs and Hyperic OS object types). What do you plan to do with that?

Re: Can't export dashboard - "configuration not completed yet".
Seems like some sort of import bug. I couldn't find a way around it other than removing the panel and re-adding so you might have to rebuild it all or log a support call. I might mention this thread to our account manager so they can get it listed in a bug report. Then again 6.1 probably isn't that far off so it may be fixed in that.

Re: vROPS 6.0.2 - Multiple -idle- connections to the vCenter
Hey mark,
currently it is just annoying and i was wondering if this is the usual behavior of the product. Luckily it seems that vrops won't open infinite connections, just about 10 so maybe we have to deal with it.
thanks
