Found the solution - RC4 encryption needs to be enabled in the local policy Another possible fix, that we need to have tested is to add the encryption types to the computer objects in Active Directory.

You cannot do that I do not know why you did not just upgrade from 6.7 to 7.0, but that is the ONLY way to keep your data. I assume you have your reasons, so the next best thing is to running vRops 6.7 and 7.0 side by side, both collecting data from the same vCenters. When you have enough data in your new vRops simple shutdown the old one. That your best option, when not doing a direct upgrade.

Hi Haven't had this issue, but there should be multiple ways to fix it Think the easiest would be to make another filelog config. That force log insight to look at both locations Fx. [filelog|IIS_Drive_C] ; IMPORTANT: Change the directory as per the environment directory=C:\inetpub\logs\LogFiles\W3SVC2\ include=*.log event_marker=^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2} tags={"ms_product":"iis"} parser=iisLogParser [filelog|IIS_Drive_D] ; IMPORTANT: Change the directory as per the environment directory=D:\Windows\System32\LogFiles\1\W3SVC2 include=*.log event_marker=^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2} tags={"ms_product":"iis"} parser=iisLogParser If this does not work for you. You can create another agent group, but with a different name and directory config. Hope this helps
no. If you think the feature should be there, go to Loginisght.vmware.com and create a feature request

This is how a content pack is structured, with dashboards below. If you create the same structure when creating your own dashboard it should look like this. If you want you can export your dashboards and reimport them. Then they will be visible in the same way as the "Apache - CLF" content pack. Does that make sense ?

It's an upgrade. The latest version is 6.5 go for that. But you cannot upgrade directly from 6.0 to 6.5 and also note there is a security bug in vrops 6.2.1 and newer, which can be addressed with a patch. I recently did a blog post about upgrade path. You can read it here -> vRops upgrade path - Michael Ryom Basicly you need to upgrade to 6.2.1 and then 6.5 and finally patch for the security hole. Security patch -> VMware vRealize Operations 6.2.1, 6.3, 6.4 and 6.5 patch to address CVE-2017-5638 (2149591) | VMware KB Ps. go for 6.5. There are so many improvement from release to release that holding back means you are left behind.

Yes you can. It should not hurt vCenter. Basicly vCenter is only used as a proxy to get to the ESXi host. Data is pull directly from the ESXi hosts. Quote from here: The overhead of running vRops - Michael Ryom vRops talks through vCenter and as such it put loads on it, but how much. As it turns out not a lot… CPU load is five to ten percent every five minutes for a duration of 30-60 seconds. What about memory then? 40-50 MB every five minutes, that is all. Hope this answer your question Best regards Michael Ryom MichaelRyom.dk

Take a look at the documentation http://pubs.vmware.com/vrealizeoperationsmanager-64/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/vrealize-operations-manager-64-reference… The reference guide has a lot of metrics and the explanation of them. I guess these are what you are looking for: disk|totalReadLatency_average Disk Read Latency The average amount of time taken for a read from the perspective of a Guest OS. This is the sum of Kernel Read Latency and Physical Device Read Latency. disk|totalWriteLatency_average Disk Write Latency The average amount of time taken for a write from the perspective of a Guest OS. This is the sum of Kernel Write Latency and Physical Device Write Latency. disk|totalLatency_average Disk Command Latency (ms) The average amount of time taken for a command from the perspective of a Guest OS. This is the sum of Kernel Command Latency and Physical Device Command Latency Hope this helps Best regards Michael Ryom MichaelRyom.dk

AFAIK there is a 1:1 between maintenance schedule and a policy There is the possibility to put a given VM/object into maintenance mode. This can be done manually, which is not what your are seeking. I think the API is what you want. Follow this URL https://vRops/suite-api/docs/rest/index.html , change vRops to your vRops FQDN, to get to the documentation of the API. If you want an introduction to the vRops API used with Powershell look there -> vRops API consumed with Powershell - Michael Ryom Below I have copy/pasted from the vRops API documentation the two API calls that could be of interest to you. My basic idea is that you create a pre backup script (which most backup products support), where the script puts the object into maintenance in vRops after the backup job is done it then needs to run a post backup script which deletes(exits) the object in maintenance. I could be more precise than what you do to day. If you find this to cumbersome to get started with. You could also just create a script which at a given point in time puts a lot of VMs into maintenance and after a given time exits maintenance on all of the objects. Well there are probably a few other way to do this Look at the copy/paste from the API documentation and see if it does not fit the bill Hope you find it useful - Best regards Michael Ryom PUT /api/resources/{id}/maintained Put the specific Resource in Maintenance. The Resource can end up in two maintenance states - MAINTAINED OR MAINTAINED_MANUAL - depending upon the inputs specified. If duration/end time is specified, the resource will be placed in MAINTAINED state and after the duration/end time expires, the resource state is automatically set to the state it was in before entering the maintenance window. If duration/end time is not specified, the resource will be placed in MAINTAINED_MANUAL state. Callers have to execute DELETE /suite-api/api/resources/{id}/maintained API to set the Resource back to whatever state it was in. If both duration and end time are specified, end time takes preference over duration. Request description about parameters and structure of input data     The following are request parameters supported by this method name description style type required repeating default duration Duration for which this resource will be in maintenance (In Minutes) query xs:int  no no end query xs:long  no no id template xs:uuid  yes no Response  http response codes, description about schema of return types HTTP Response Codes 200 Response type No content returned by this method. PUT /api/resources/maintained Puts all the specified Resource in Maintenance. The Resources can end up in two maintenance states - MAINTAINED OR MAINTAINED_MANUAL - depending upon the inputs specified. If duration/end time is specified, the Resources will be placed in MAINTAINED state and after the duration/end time expires, the state of the Resources would be automatically set to the state they were in before entering the maintenance window. If duration/end time is not specified, the Resources will be placed in MAINTAINED_MANUAL state. Callers have to execute DELETE /suite-api/api/resources/maintained?id=ID1&id=ID2 API to set the Resources back to whatever state they were in. If both duration and end time are specified, end time takes preference over duration.

The short answer is no. Is there no way where you can do the migration live? vMotion and storage vMotion of the VM is your best bet.
Have you checked if it is enabled in policy ? It not in my vRops 6.3 - I guess that should solve your problem.

Sync feature no. But there is an API, which I believe will help in your situation. Here is some literature to begin with: Log Insight API calls Appendix https://michaelryom.dk/log-insight-api-calls-appendix/?doing_wp_cron=1476133899.1635520458221435546875#.V_wEEiSu9VU Log Insight 3.3: Query API http://sflanders.net/2016/04/20/log-insight-3-3-query-api/ Log Insight 3.3: Authentication API http://sflanders.net/2016/04/11/log-insight-3-3-authentication-api/ First of I think this is the url you are looking for. Has both post and get options. As per Log Insight API calls Appendix. https://loginsight.com/api/v1/agent/groups The authentication part is to first pass username and password to /api/v1/sessions to get a session id and from there use the session id to get the data needed. As the API also has a post option for agent/groups I think it could be handled that way as well. $Auth = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://$LIURL/api/v1/sessions -Method Post -Headers @{"Content-Type"="application/json"} -Body '{"provider":"ActiveDirectory", "username":"admin", "password":"password"}' $data = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://$LIURL/api/v1/events -Method Get -Headers @{"X-LI-Session-Id"=($Auth.Content.Split(":|,")[3])} This is from some powershell code but I hope it help with the understanding.How to use the API and get what you want.
Clear your browsers cache or open vRops in a browsers private/incognito mode. Its a cache issue.
Find the VM(use the search field in top corner), click "troubleshoot" tab->"All Metrics" In the left side find the metric and double click on them to get them shown.

Hi Did a blog post around vRops API in general vRops API consumed with Powershell - Michael Ryom I haven't played with getStatsOfResourcesCSV and haven't had time to do it - But in general in vRops API you have to specify format - If you look at my blog post you can see I used "&format=csv" to get data out as csv insted of xml (I belive you can also do json this way). Hope this helps
Have you tried to adding another disk to the VM ? It should auto expand during boot, and make sure there is space left, always works for me. That should fix your problem.
