Custom Views - list showing cancelled alerts (vROps 6.0.1)

[phatmike128]

Hi all,

I've created a custom View of a list to report on Host Compliance. The view displays all of the symptoms that are alerting, even though they have been rectified and the symptom's metric is reporting the 'cancelled on' time.

As most the symptoms have been resolved, most of the list is noise, so is there a way I can filter the list to only show symptoms that haven't been cancelled?

Further to this, when viewing the host's compliance directly, one of the properties does not seem to refresh (I've verified this on several hosts). The rule "Non-compliant firewall setting to restrict access to SNMP server" shows as:

Even though SNMP is disabled and the host is configured for this property to:

Any help would be much appreciated!

I used this blog article as reference when creating the view: http://blogs.vmware.com/management/2015/03/compliance-in-vrealize-operations-6.html?utm_source=feedl...

Hi, If you want to see only symptoms that have not been canceled, I suggest you add Symptom Status to the list of symptoms, then filter it to show only symptoms that have Status Active. Please see attaches screenshots.

Excellent, thank you so much aaghabekyan. Getting used to vROPS is taking a while, it's so complex.

If anyone else knows how to solve, or can confirm my second issue (with the SNMP firewall rule not updating) is a bug that would be great!

When you changed the firewall settings on your host, did you refresh the firewall (esxcli network firewall refresh)?

Wondering if you had any luck resolving the SNMP firewall rule not updating

Having the same issue myself
