No Green Plus symbol to create a custom report in vROps 6

Hi,

I recently installed vrops 6 and i need to create some custom reports but i don't see any green plus symbol to create them... i only have the delete symbol, the run template symbol, and the actions symbol with the possibilty to export template.

I can see in the official documentation the green plus symbol : vrealize-operations-manager-60-cust-admin-guide.pdf

Procedure

1 In the left pane of vRealize Operations Manager, click the Content icon and click Reports.

2 On the Report Templates tab, click the plus sign to create a template.

and in these videos :

Create Reports with vRealize Operations Manager - YouTube

vRealize Operations Manager 6.0 Documentation Center

Do you see it on your vrops ? did i miss something ?

this is what I see:

and these are the actual permissions needed:

another thing that comes to mind is licensing -> do check whether creating custom reports are included in your license.
I *think* the option is not available for Standard

Might be user permissions issue. Check which role are you using.

You're right, "Customizable Dashboards and Reports" is not available in Standard version...

Compare vRealize Operations Editions | United States

Thanks!

Hello All

I am facing the same issue. I am using enterprise plus 6.0.1.2523163 in evaluation mode but still Green Plus Symbol is missing for creating reports. Can someone help me to overcome this issue.

Thanks and Best Regards

There is a lot of confusion with clients on the version of vRealize Operations when purchasing vSphere with Operations Management Editions.

Even with Enterprise Plus, you only get the vRealize Operations Standard.  If you wan the advanced or Enterprise in the vRealize Operations, you need an additional upgrade.

If you do have the upgrade, you will need to enter both Keys into vRealize to get the upgraded functionality.  First the vSphere with operations key, then the vRealize Advanced/Enterprise key.

With Standard, you do not get the option to customize reports or create custom dashboards.

I hope this helps to point you in the right direction.

Cheers,

Here is a list of the report templates in vROps 6, by the way. I have been searching all over for them. Had to spin up a VMware Hands on Lab to capture this information. Hope it helps. VMware Learning Platform
