Create a view and add the metric Partition Utilization %. For example, change the label to Free Space %. Use the instance breakdown and set expression to (100-last) as mentioned earlier by RobertMesropyan​ There is not Free space % OOTB. If you have endpoint agent (which provide some extra metrics) installed on those virtual machines you can have a look to see if there is a metric available regarding Free Space %. As you can see below vm-ws01 has three disks. In the instance configuration you need to specify the metric group and set the expression on the metric as stated in the 2nd screenshot.

To achieve this you need to perform the following steps: 1. Monitor the OS object. Go to Environment --> All Objects --> --> EPOPS Adapter --> Linux --> Name of the VM --> Actions --> Monitor OS Object. 2.  Select "Script” in the Drop down options. You can fill in the path of the script that you want to run. 3. After the setup is done you can go and check the Script Monitor you just created via Environment --> All Objects --> EPOPS Adapter --> Script --> Name of the script Then under all metrics you will find a utilization which contains the result value. You can create a view based on this result value for example.

I guess you can do this in the metric explorer, change the object type to virtual machine and select one of your VMs that contains the most or all disks/drive(letters) by using icon I am not sure but you need to add all those disks/drive letter(s), also add them on the filter pane of a view. In the filter you can set the filter for each disk/driveletter(s) to > 7 TB. Check if the results are expected with the preview option.
Do you have CPU resource reservations configured on the virtual machine? The CPU reservations probably exceed the available capacity on the target ESXi host.

Hi, You can adjust in /usr/lib/vmware-vcops/user/conf/controller/controller.properties (restart is required) the value the groupMembershipEvalPeriod=20 minutes. After you changed it you still get the notice message about 20 min because in UI is just hardcoded.
This is because it is not compatible with vCenter 6.7 u3. See VMware Product Interoperability Matrices

A cluster with only 2 nodes (master and replica) is a valid and supported configuration. Depending on the count of objects you are monitoring you may need more (data) nodes. When HA is enabled, the replica can take over all functions that the master provides, were the master to fail for any reason. If the master fails, failover to the replica is automatic and requires only two to three minutes of vRealize Operations Manager downtime to resume operations and restart data collection.

First create a view. After the creation, you can use the view in the report. Create a view based on Subject "VDI Desktop Session" and select under Metrics Summary|Agent Version. Add the property Summary|Virtual Machine Name to get the name of the virtual  machine. Hopefully this will provide you some guidance to start with.

I guess you have to create something like this: 1. Make a super metric based on average CPU demand for VMs. Set the object type to virtual machine and enable the super metric in the policy. 2. Create a view and use the previously super metric in that view. Add the interval breakdown column and configure by week. Set time settings on the last 7 days. 3. Compare the weeks and calculate the delta yourself. It is probably possible to have this calculation also in the view but i didn't have time to figure that out at the moment. Hope this will provide some guidance for you.

In the main vROps UI <https://vropsFQDN/ui>, you can specify which vCenter Server the collector is responsible for. Go to Administration > Solutions , select the VMware vSphere solution and click the Configure icon at the top of the screen. This will pop-up the vCenter servers being monitored by vROps. Expand the Advanced Settings section, and from the drop-down menu of Collectors/Groups, select the new vROps Remote Collector. Also check if the required ports are open for communication.

Yes, that should be correct. Before using the commando put the Host first in maintainance mode. The host will reboot automatically after running the command, so make sure to power off or migrate any VMs hosted on it. Another option, if you're running Enterprise vCenter Server as well you can using Host Profiles. You can create one profile to attach to an entire cluster or create one for each host. This allows you to build a new host from scratch, attach it to vCenter, attach a Host Profile and configure everything specified in the Host profiles.

Did you check if there are any errors/warnings in the event viewer of the Windows 10 machines? Also verify if the sleep options are configured correctly. Definitely check the option "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power"  on your nic's in Windows 10 OS under the power management tab.

It is not on the VMware compatibility list, so it is not supported. May it work? Maybe, but this is not guaranteed. What is the model/vendor of the network card? Anther option would be to install VMWare Workstation on it and do nested ESXi, mostly used if you want to play with ESXi or a test lab.
