Hi, You can filter out these services under Advanced Settings in the NSX-T adapter.

Hi, I'm trying to monitor the vSphere Cluster VMs (vCLS VMs) in vROps. For some reason they are not available. They don't show up in search result in the Inventory Explorer nor in the Object Browser. The user configured in the vROps vCenter Adapter is a member of the Administators group in vCenter. vCenter 7.0.2 vROps 8.6 Any suggestions? Regards Bernt

Hi, I'm getting "Objects are not receiving data from adapter instance"-alerts on the Horizon adapter after upgrading to vROps 8.6. The resources involved are "Horizon User"-objects. The alert is only triggered on inactive/offline users. When a user logs in, the collection from the object returnes to a normal state. It seems like normal behaviour that inactive objects doesn't provide any updates to metrics and properties.  It's strange that inactivity in Horion User objects should generate an alert. Is this a bug?  vROps version: 8.6 Horizon Adapter version: 1.2.1.0
Thank you for your reply. This seems to be more tricky than I initially thought

Hi, I'm trying to send the total number of hits from Log Insight queries to vROps as metrics. According to the documentation the integration between Log Insight and vROps should support sending queries to vROps as metrics. Some objects in vROps has a metric group called "Log Insight Generated" with 3 metrics inside. "Error Count", "Total Log Count" and "Warning Count". These are great, but I would like to make my own custom metrics from my own custom Log Insight queries. Is that possible, or do the integration only support the OOTB-metrics? I asked the same question in the Log Insight forum, but I got no response:  https://communities.vmware.com/t5/vRealize-Log-Insight-Discussions/How-to-send-a-result-from-a-query-as-a-metric-to-vROps/td-p/2809689 -bernt

I'm running vRealize Operations 8.2 and vRealize Log Insight 8.2 I'm trying to send the result (number of hits) from queries in Log Insight as metrics in vROps. The documentation states this is possible: "You can configure vRealize Log Insight to send alert notifications and metrics to vRealize Operations Manager." How do I do this? I can't locate where in the Log Insight GUI I can send the result from queries as a metric. The only option is as an Alert. Regards Bernt

Hi, I need to make changes to the virtual hardware on several VMs. The changes requires the VMs to be completely shut down. I have created a workflow that i want to kick in when a guestOS reboot event occur. Is it possible to tell vRO to run a workflow when a reboot event is triggered inside the guestOS?

Hi, In vROps 6.7 I have installed the new management pack for vRealize Orchestrator. In vRO I have created my own forkflow package and imported it successfully in vROps. In vROps I can set both the package and workflows inside the package. The problem begins when I try to link a Recommendation to one of my custom imported worflows. The GUI only lists the OOTB workflows as available and not my custom workflows. What do I have to do to make my custom available in the Actions menu in Recommendations? Please see screenshots below: Imported workflow package(blurred) with 4 custom workflows None of my custom workflows are available in the actions menu: Have anyone tried this successfully?

Hi, I had the impression of a better integration with Orchestrator workflows in vROps 6.7, but I can't seem to find any documentation of it. I would like to be able to create an alert which triggers an action which in turn triggers a custom built vRO workflow. I know this is possible with use of the REST-API, WEB-Shim and so on, but I was hoping for a OOTB solution in 6.7. Does anyone have any information about this? Regards

Hi, I'm using the Object Relationship widget in a dashboard and would like to have several dashboards set up as dashboard navigation targets. I would like to select an ESXi host in the relationship widget and navigate to a specific Host troubleshooting dashboard and use the selected host as object input. In another scenario I would like to select a datastore in the same relationship widget and navigate to a specific datastore troubleshooting dashboard and use the selected datastore as object input. It works fine now, but only with a singel target dashboard. Is it possible with multiple dashboard targets from the same widget? If not,- will this be available in the upcoming 6.7 release?

Hi, I have a case were I'm trying to group and make alerts on VMs that run in the wrong datacenter. We have two datacenters and we want to make compliance alerts on a group of VMs. Our VMs have a common naming model with a sequence number at the end. VMs with odd sequence numbers shall run in datacenter 1 and VMs with even sequence number shall run in datacenter 2. Our ESXi hosts have a specific number in their naming conventing that tells us the site. Eg. pse1.... & pse2... To group the VMs I want to compare the VM sequence number with the site number on the ESXi host. If a VM with an odd sequence number runs on an ESXi host with "2" as the site number, the VM becomes a member of the Custom group and gets a Compliance alert. If a VM with an even sequence number runs on an ESXi host with "1" as the site number, the VM also becomes a member of the Custom group and gets a Compliance alert. In vROps it seems like you only can use a regular expression to create symptoms, but not in a custom group. How can I make a custom group and an alert that are able to include VMs with odd and even numbers in their names and compare them with the parent host name?

Hi, I've experienced policy inhertiance and alert disabling issues since the vCOps 5x days. In the past, taking the cluster offline, reboot and online would fix the issue most of the times. I have installed vROps 6.61 Hotfix9 and it seems like the issue is finally gone The Hotfix must be requested from GSS or you can wait for the next release.
Hi, I tried you suggestion, but I got the same result. Is there a bug in vROps Regexp implementation?

Hi, I'm trying to create a symptom that should trigger when a ESXi host doesn't comply with our NTP server policy. We are using "ntp1.ourdomain.com, ntp2.ourdomain.com, ntp3.ourdomain.com" as standard for all our hosts. The symptom should trigger when a host deviates from this. To accomplish this I'm using the following regexp in the symptom definition: ntp[123].ourdomain.com, ntp[123].ourdomain.com, ntp[123].ourdomain.com This results in a match on the online regexp tester: https://regex101.com/ Here is a XML export: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><alertContent>     <SymptomDefinitions>         <SymptomDefinition adapterKind="VMWARE" id="SymptomDefinition-e9013e2f-090b-47c7-a70d-01ff985fb2db" name="_ESXi Host have wrong NTP server settings" resourceKind="HostSystem">             <State severity="warning">                 <Condition key="config|security|ntpServer" operator="notregex" thresholdType="static" type="property" value="ntp[123].mydomain.com, ntp[123].mydomain.com, ntp[123].mydomain.com" valueType="string"/>             </State>         </SymptomDefinition>     </SymptomDefinitions> </alertContent> This is what happens during testing: 1. When the symptom is set to trigger when the regexp doesn't match 1a. Host with correct NTP: Symptom triggers with the following message: NTP server "ntp1.mydomain.com, ntp3.mydomain.com, ntp2.mydomain.com" not matches regular expression "ntp[123].mydomain.com, ntp[123].mydomain.com, ntp[123].mydomain.com" 1b. Host with incorrect NTP: Symptom does not trigger 2. When the symptom is set to trigger when the regexp match 2a. Host with correct NTP: Symptom triggers with the following message: NTP server "ntp1.mydomain.com, ntp3.mydomain.com, ntp2.mydomain.com" matches regular expression "ntp[123].mydomain.com, ntp[123].mydomain.com, ntp[123].mydomain.com" 2b. Host with incorrect NTP: Symptom does not trigger This is confusing. The symptom triggers on the host with correct NTP settings both when the symptom match and when the symptom doesn't match On hosts with incorrect NTP settings the symptom never triggers. I've cancelled the associated alert several times and waited for several collection cycles. Always the same result. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

Thank you for your answer. I was thnking of excluding the templates in the search query itself, but I have a lot of  "or"-queries in my original group. I thought an easier approach would be to create a new custom group with all the templates and exclude that one. Guess I have to do it your way Thanks again for you help.

I'm unable to use objects in a Custom Group as objects to "always exclude" in another Custom Group. I've created a Custom Group that contains all VM Templates in our environment. In another Custom Group I want to always exclude the templates in the previous Custom Group. It seems that vROps doesn't drill down in the Custom Group containing our Templates when it lookes for objects to exclude. Is this a bug or a feature?
Thank you for the tip, I didn't know you could use notifications. I will definitely look into that.

I think I have the same issue. I would like to create a Custom Group which only contains objects with specific alerts. I then want to use that Custom Group in a Scoreboard Widget inside a dashboard. Follwing your steps only helps creating the alert itself, not filtering on the alert inside a Custom Group. MartyG​: did you find a solution for your problem?

I opened a SR with VMware and it turns out to be browser related. When using Chrome from a different computer, the button returned and worked fine. I tried to clear all browser cache(cookies, downloads, etc.), but nothing worked. One other difference is that the non working browser runs in a VMware VDI environment. But again.... the button works fine from the same VDI against our test vROps environment. I suspect Clarity is involved in this issue because I've seen other GUI related issues after the 6.6 upgrade. Is there a workaround for these GUI related problems other than clearing the browser cache?
