vCops MP for Hyperic issues

[awjudge]

Hi all,

I have a ticket open with VMware support on this one, but it's been 2 months and no answers yet. Thought I'd ask the collective.

I have installed the MP for Hyperic pack, and created an adapter instance. All seems to be ok. I've imported the Hyperic Cert into vCops. I can 'Test' the adapter and it comes back OK.

But, when I look at my vCops inventory, I see all my Hyperic objects, with no metrics.

The adapter log in vCops shows errors:

2014-02-12 04:14:54,808 ERROR [Collector worker thread 9] (3529) com.vmware.adapter3.hyperic.HypericApiAdapter.onCollect - Exception in onCollect method

Has anyone seen this, or have any suggestions?

Is vCenter properly defined in the Hyperic admin/mgmt area?

I'd blow away the Hyperic adapter instance and recreate. Also ensure you're using the latest/greatest Hyperic MP available from Solutions Exchange.

Well, after more than 5 months struggling with this issue, I found the cause.

The VCOPs Admin password had a '&' character in it.

Changed the password. Problem solved. :smileyconfused:

I once had a problem like that.. apparently 32-char-length passwords aren't welcome some places.
