Upgrading to vRealize Operations 8.0 to 8.6

Hello,

I've inherited a vrops applicance that monitors our vmware estate and a few Azure Windows servers using the vrops agent.

The current version is 8.0 which is 10 revisions behind.

I'm looking to to upgrade to 8.6 (and then 8.10 after) but the Pre-upgrade Assessment tool mentioned:

"The End Point Operations Management Solution has been deprecated and will not work since 8.6.0 release. Please disable your EPOps agent."

I've tried to google this but I'm struggling to understand what I'll be loosing. Will I no longer be able to monitor my Azure Windows Servers?

Thanks

In 8.6 version of vROPS, the Azure management is supported OOTB through a native management pack. Deprecation of EPOPS will not affect it.

This is the list of services supported on Azure : https://docs.vmware.com/en/vRealize-Operations/8.6/com.vmware.vcom.core.doc/GUID-24AAEDF9-BD55-47B8-...

Here are the steps to configure it: https://docs.vmware.com/en/vRealize-Operations/8.6/com.vmware.vcom.core.doc/GUID-89CC6DF2-6728-4472-...

Thank you! 

If I have a server thats not in vmware (physical for example), could I monitor it with Telegraph Agent?

Thanks, I've just added the azure native agent. Seems to pick up everything except azure virtual machines but I might have missed something in the config.
