Federation Management pack - failed to get property data

[KimPedersen]

We are using vRops 6.6.1 on all of our vRops installations. In order to install the Federation Management pack we had to install a new vRops 6.7. We want to use all of the alarms collected via the Federation server to inform our Service Center about any alerts which might happen. We are not able to see any alerts form any other vRops installation and therefore I looked in the log file for the adapter and found this:

[32858] 2018-11-08 10:38:14,246 ERROR [Collector worker thread 6] (44) com.vmware.adapter.restapi.RestClient.getPropertyData - Failed to get property data: ClientSideException: API call failed, reason = 404

I haven't configured anything else than the vRops which we want to connect.

Hope that someone might have an idea of what's wrong

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Kim

We have have Fed MP 1.0.1 running on 6.7.  It can only collect from 6.7 child clusters.  When trying to collect from a 6.6.1 cluster, we could not view alerts.  We found there are too many differences in federation_config between 6.6.1 and 6.7 as well.  Being on 6.7 or 7.0 across all instances is your best bet.

Thanks for the clarification but we haven't upgraded to 6.7 because we are using "Projects" a lot in order to predict our capacity.

Does anyone knows if "Projects" are back in 7.0 ???
