Hi All,
Requirement: We want to automate monitoring the OS process. As soon as a VM is provisioned (by VRA), vRops should start monitoring the process and alert if a process is not running.
We have around 10000 VMs and we can leverage vRO to execute REST API / Powercli if required.
In vRops UI we can monitor the linux process. The below link shows how to monitor.
But we want to automate these steps.
Thanks,
Naresh
Yes, vRops API has the ability to automate this process. I configured it in my environment and blogged here vRops: How to Monitor Linux Process Automatically – via Rest API - nxgcloud
Need to test further more and see if there is a better way to do it.
Thanks,

You may want to use this software blueprint I built that automates the EpOps installation and configuration process in Linux VMs. You'll need a vRA Enterprise license to use software components, however. From there, it's a matter of automating the process addition into vROps for that endpoint, and I don't know if the APIs yet support that ability. If they do, that could be another software component assuming you have the license.
Hi ,
Thanks for pointing me to the software blueprint. I would explore this.
However , Installing & configuring Epops agent is not the problem
I am specifically looking for a way to automate adding processes to monitor
Thanks,

Yeah, I understand what you're asking to do, I just don't know that the vROps API covers that ability right now. I'll dig around and see how close you might be able to get, however.

This is really good to know, and thanks for writing it up! I should like to test this in my lab.
