vROPS Federation : missing VM properties that should be collected

[Chakoe1]

Hi all,

i´ve got a Problem with my vROPs-Federation ( Version 8.1.0)  . It has 3 connected child vROPS ( Version 8.1.0) where it´s collecting from.

All child-vROPS are connected using the same Metric-Configuration.

I have added several VirtualMachine Properties & Metrics to this config-file as shown below.

The Problem is, that some Properties or Metrics aren´t collected , for example <Property attrkey="summary|parentVcenter" label="Parent vCenter" unit="" yellow="" orange="" red=""/>

Do you have any idea where my mistake is?

Thanks in advance

Chakoe

quick question is it all objects are not collecting the same metric/property or is it random objects have it and random objects dont from the same vrops instance?

[Chakoe1]

It´s the same four properties in this case, which aren´t collected, on every object:

"summary|parentCluster"

"summary|parentHost"

"summary|parentDatacenter"

"summary|parentVcenter"

These Properties are visible in the "child" vRops-Instances , and - as you can see - they are configured in the Metric-Configuration .

Any Idea?

thx

If that is an exact copy of the config file then you are missing < at the start of allot of properties in the below copy of some of yours the first two are right the rest are not

Such a shame .....sorry 😞

And Thanks for the Help 🙂

No need to apologise this is easy do and sometimes we need a second set of eyes.
