Hi All,
I just wanted to know if the alert correlation can be done in smarts.. like for example one of the switch is down can we get all the impacted devices also listed in one incident. we see there is one impacted tab in the smarts GUI console but were does it show up in the smarts CLI & also do we have any internal CMDB for smarts from were we can fetch this data?
Thanks in Advance!!
If I'm understanding correctly, I think the simplest approach would be to do two replaces on the resourceName:
"serverName": a['resourceName'].replace('vSAN Cluster(','').replace(')',''),
This strips out the leading "vSAN Cluster(" and following ")". It assumes you're using the python shim server and your cluster names don't have a closing parenthesis ")" in them. A more precise approach would probably be to use a regular expression to only match the value between the beginning and ending parenthesis, but I'm not great at regular expressions and don't have a convenient way to test it. As long as you don't have a closing parenthesis ")" in any cluster names this is simpler and should work.
Permissions can be fairly granular in vROps. You can restrict them to a single cluster or group of VMs. This should work well for read only or general user access. If they want any level of admin access in vROps, for example to manage the policies for their cluster or add management packs, then you'll probably need to have two vROps instances. If you're unsure and don't mind managing a second vROps instance, that might be the safer option. It gives you some flexibility down the road if they want more control in vROps (if you think that could be an eventual outcome). If not, one vROps with separate user groups for each cluster should be fine.
Hi,
I am new to using the vrops rest api. I am trying to get a list of vm's for a host including the powered off ones. What I've noticed is that it only gives the running vm's. I would start by
getting the resources for the host via the resourceid, for example, "https://vrops_server/suite-api/api/resources/id_number", then to get the vm's, I would use the "relationsofResource" link that it returned. I see all the running vm's but not the powered off ones. Would anyone know how to achieve this?
thanks in advance,
Actually, I just found out all the unlisted vm's are "templates". Is there a way in the vrops rest api, to list out the templates for a host?
thanks,
It's odd... I don't see any relationship between the templates and their host in vROps. Using relationsofResource is the right idea, but doesn't look like it will work for templates. You could try using the property "summary|parentHost". This is getting both VMs and templates for me. You'll have to query by the hostname as it appears in vROps like this:
https://{{vrops}}/suite-api/api/resources?propertyName=summary|parentHost&propertyValue=hostname.domain.com
If you want to handle the templates separately you can get all the templates using the isTemplate property:
https://{{vrops}}/suite-api/api/resources?propertyName=summary|config|isTemplate&propertyValue=true
And then get the parent host property for each template.
Hi, Im running vrops 7.5
There is any way to get a report of the VMs with affinity rules per cluster ? I can not find any.
Please try with power shell script
I have a vcenter 6.7 with vrealize operation 6.7.
When i try to connect on vcenter the plugin of vrealize a receive connection failed. I try with ip and name but same issue. I have a correct vrealize instance and work fine with vcenter.
did you enable the allow vcenter users to log in from vcenter clients in you global settings in vrops.
I have enable all feature in global settings in vrops and i try to use vcenter credential o vrops credential but not work. I receive same error.
Thanks
Are we talking about the vSphere Adapter instance when you hit "Test"?
If so, be sure to have the proper ports open from whichever node that has that adapter instance. What is the full error you see when the Test Connection fails?
-K
We talking about only vrealize operation pluing on vcenter. Vcenter and vrops are in same subnet, no firewall from they. Vrops work fine whit vcenter. When i try to test connection on plugin i receive only this error 'Connection failed'
Thanks.
The only problems i have had are the one i mentioned and using the ip for the master node. Failed because i was using the load balancer IP
Hi All,
This question is regarding the analysis of performance data collected from vROPS. Specifically storage performance on an Infrastructure where HP DL360G9 servers and MSA 2052 SAN (1+2 Shelves with a combination of SSDs and SAS | 10G iSCSI ) are used.
While running a performance test, which is write and read intensive, I was looking at the vROPS metrics. The Datastore is showing a latency of 10-15 ms and the VMs running on that shows very high latency than the data store (Say around 150 ms). How can we interpret this data, and how to co relate the values. VM Latency are captured from 'virtualDisk | totalReadLatency_average' and 'virtualDisk | totalWriteLatency_average'
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks
Maneesh
vROps is not really good for real time performance monitoring. It collects every 5 minutes 15 data points of 20 second samples for all configured counters and averages them to one single 5 minute data point. This means that peaks that last for less then 5 minutes are averaged and flattened. In addition, vROps also only collects average values from vCenter. So, at the end you get with the mentioned counters the average of the average of the last 5 minutes.
Why is a discrepancy between the datastore view and the virtual disk view?
But it could be that SIOC limits some of your VM disks (is SIOC enabled?) or that the performance counters of the datastore consider all virtual disks and therefore it is the average for all vm disks in that datastore. This would explain why the datastore average values are lower than some virtual disks values.
Thanks sk84 for response.
Actually I am not using this as real time monitoring. In fact, we use this for analysing performance statistics for particular time frame when we run tests. Also I have reduced the sampling interval from 5 minutes to 1 minute. Storage IO Control is not enabled. As the sampling interval is 1 minute and the latency of VMs were consistent for particular time period, why the data store level average latency does not match. can't we co relate both data at any way?
Hello,
There is a distribution Pie chart in vROps that has all of the ESXi builds in our environment. I'm trying to build a custom dashboard that breaks this down by Major Versions (we have v6.0, 6.5, & 6.7 in our environment in different vCenters).
I'm trying to create a chart that simply has either Compliant or Non-Compliant %. For instance, all hosts that are on build # xxxxxxx or above are considered "Compliant". Everything else is considered "Non-Compliant"
There may be a trick that I'm not thinking of, so I thought I'd poke this community.
I created custom groups for each major version of ESXi and applied the Host Version distribution View on the dashboard:
I would like to change the Pie Chart to show everything >= build 11925212 as 'Green' and everything below as 'Red' in the above example.
I realize that I'll probably need to manually update what my company deems compliant/updated/patched.
One thing I've tried to do is build a SuperMetric but the data consistently returns '0' count. Below is the formula I've been trying to use:
count(${adapterkind=VMWARE, resourcekind=HostSystem, attribute= System|Build Number, depth=1, where=">=10719132"})
When I select a cluster in the SuperMetric preview pane the results return 0 (yes, the entire cluster is on that build) I've tried other operators such as == and <= and all return 0 results.
Has anybody done something similar to this or have any thoughts?
Try changing resourcekind=HostSystem to objecttype=HostSystem
It is currently not possible to display VM affinity rules with vROps.
