How retrieve the value of a metric on a specific period using VROPS 6.1 ?

[samr92]

Hello !

Is there a way to retrieve in a metric, using supermetrics for example or any other means, the value of a metric on a specific period ?

For example, i would retrieve the CPU's average utilization of my VMs during the last hour with VROPS 6.1 ?

How could i make that please ? :smileyconfused:

Select the VM (or search for it), click "Troubleshooting" and then "all metrics". Select the CPU parameter you need and adjust time.

You could also do it as a "View" or via API calls.

A quick guide to using "Views" look here: Troubleshooting with vRops part 3: Object Level Metric - Michael Ryom

If you do create a "view", all you need to do is set the time period, change "transformation", and select the right metric.

The API(The hard) way take a look at this: vRops API consumed with Powershell - Michael Ryom

Hope this helps

Thanks you very much Michael for you answer, but the objective of my request is to retrieve this value in a metric in order to trigger an alert if the CPU utilization of a VM exceeds the average utilization CPU of the same VM the last hour.

Firstly i tought about using supermetrics, but if i'm not mistaken, it's impossible to apply the calculation on a specific period. So i have'nt any idea.

I hope to be clear

Unfortunately You are right  such functionality (apply the calculation on a specific period) is not supported.

The API can do that - But you are not going to have the data/alert in vRops then...

I'm not sure what/why you want an alert for CPU have changed hour by hour ?! I don't think what your are trying to do is possible out of the box.

But if you could elaborate on the reason for doing monitoring of CPU usage, I might be able to find another way,
