Memory usage- VROPs vs Netmon

$
0
0

Hello,

 

Our Exchange team are insisting that their servers are under provisioned and running out of memory and paging to disk causing poor performance.  I don't believe this because VROPs and vCenter performance monitors show memory usage around 12-20% with rare, brief spikes up to 80%.  CPU usage is also very low.

 

Our Netmon monitoring tool tells a very different story.  It shows memory usage average 80%.

 

I'm trying to understand which of these statistics are accurate, obviously they can't both be correct and you can imagine which statistic the Exchange team believes is correct.  Where does VMware pull its memory usage statistics from?  Can these be relied upon?

 

In addition, because these are Exchange servers I believe they take all the memory they are allocated immediately (similar to SQL servers) making determining the real memory requirement a little more difficult.  Are there any guidelines surrounding this?  Are there better counters I could be using to get a real idea of the memory usage on these boxes?

 

Thanks.

Metric Config for EPO Agent

$

0

I am looking for a more accurate way of reporting on memory usage with in a vm so I deployed the EPO agent to a test vcenter and I am able to get an accurate reading of the active memory within the VM. I was then looking to add this to a dashboard so a user can search a vm (object list), select the VM and that will show the CPU and Memory utilization in a metric graph. To do this I normally create a Metric config file. I already have several for the VMware adapter but this is the first time u have tried to use the EPO adapter. I have tried several versions of the below and I cant get it to work. I get an internal error coming up. I think it might be a problem with the ResourceKind resourceKindKey but not sure

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

<AdapterKinds>

   <AdapterKind adapterKindKey="EP Ops Adapter">

      <ResourceKind resourceKindKey="Windows">

         <Metric attrkey="UTILIZATION|UsedMemory" />

      </ResourceKind>

   </AdapterKind>

vROPS REST API Python 3.3 Authentication Issues

Hello all,

I'm getting a blue font: HTTP Error 401: Unauthorized

 

I'm uing the following code:

    import urllib.parse
    import urllib.request
    import urllib.response
   
    userName = "username"
    passWord  = "password"
    top_level_url = "https://vrops/suite-api/api/resources?adapterKind=EP%20Ops%20Adapter"
   
    # create an authorization handler
    p = urllib.request.HTTPPasswordMgrWithDefaultRealm()
    p.add_password(None, top_level_url, userName, passWord);
   
    auth_handler = urllib.request.HTTPBasicAuthHandler(p)
   
    opener = urllib.request.build_opener(auth_handler)
   
    urllib.request.install_opener(opener)
   
    try:
        result = opener.open(top_level_url)
        messages = result.read()
        print (messages)
    except IOError as e:
        print (e)
 

The url above returns the results I'm looking for when pasted into a browser with the correct username and password for the vrops server. So I know if the username and password in the code match my vrops server credentials then that isn't the problem. I'm thinking it has to do with proper headers and trusting the x509 certificate.

Basically I'm at a loss here. I see that the only support for this is the 2.7.x python versions. The Nagini Module in the python documentation for the vrops suite seems rather involved for what I'm trying to do and there is no 3.x support.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you.

User/Group Permissions within vR OP 6.2

$

So we are transforming how our IT department aligns by creating cells of IT works based on application functions (Administration, Financial, ect). Each of these cells with have a server resource allocated to them. We (Storage and Virtualization team) will be farming out monitoring of these cells specific servers to them. Within vSphere 6 we have used the folder view to assign all their servers to in one place. Our team uses the Host and Clusters view for management and work.

 

What is the best way to transfer the folders view from vSphere client to vR OP? I have been unable to find any way of importing so I am resigned to doing it manually, but I am having a hard time figuring out the best way to accomplish this. I have messed around with Environments but I do not see how I can apply access permissions so that the appropriate team only sees their servers/resources.

 

Any suggestions are welcomed.

 

Thanks

vROPS 6: Health Alerts not cleared after solution

$

Hello,

I am having a problem with some health alerts not clearing up after I've provided the solution.

For example I have an alert about disk space, I have a server with 100gb total space and about 95gb were used, so I cleaned a lot, and now I have 87gb free, but the alert won't go away.

Also weird, it stopped checking on this server since the last time. Feb. 9th 2016.

What can be done to resolve this?

 

Details:

Version 6.0.2.2777062

Report for Desktop Usage and Logon Duration each Pool over 14 Days

We are using Horizon View

 

I have to create a Report with the Desktop Usage and Logon Duration of each Pool over the last 14 Days

 

I tried different settings but was not able to get correct numbers

 

I tried views with different Data: Used Desktops, Connected Sessions , Session Duration and the summary of it.

 

Session Duration: Transformation: SUM, Series Roll Up: 1 Day, Show Data for the last 14 Days

     I think there is a Problem with the Series Roll Up

Daily Used Desktops: SUM, Series Roll Up: 1 Day, Show Data for the last 14 Days

     Here i get everyday the same Value and no Summary over 14 days

Remote Sessions / Connected Sessions: SUM, Series Roll Up: 1 Day, Show Data for the last 14 Days

     With this settings i get numbers like 1.073 or 0.146

Cannot "locally disable" a symptom definition

$
0
0

Hi

 

I created a new policy that inherits from the vSphere 5.5 Hardening Guide Policy.

 

On some of the symptom definitions I want them disabled, e.g. that the DCUI service is running on an ESXi host.

 

I press locally disable on the symptom and save. When I open the policy again, it has been set to locally ENABLE! This happens for any symptom definitions I want to alter for my new policy.

 

Am I doing something wrong?

Need to create a report at the datacenter level that summarizes each cluster

$
0
0

I've created quite a few reports of varying kinds, layered in multiple views, and used filters to only show me specific data.  However, I cannot find a way to summarize or breakdown a report by a child resource.

 

To be specific, I am looking to pull some information on datastores at the datacenter or vCenter level, which groups by cluster.  Currently, I can obviously pull 53 different reports and obtain this data on a per cluster basis, but what I'd like to be able to do is have a summary of each cluster in a single report.  Currently, the report is perfectly functional from vCenter down to a host, but it displays each individual datastore, and the only summary I can give is of everything aggregated together, and there isn't any indication of which datastores are in which clusters.

 

Is there any way to achieve this?

 

I would like the report to simply look like:

     Datacenter

          Cluster 1

               Datastores

               Summary

 

          Cluster 2

               Datastores

               Summary

and so on ....

 

I'm currently on vROps 6.1.

hyperic agent on vROps vApp

I'm trying to install the Hyperic agent on the vROps vApp for the purpose of monitoring whether the machine is up or down via Hyperic so if the vROps machine fails I'll get a notification from Hyperic.  I've installed the agent and went to start it but it seems as if it fails to communicate with the Hyperic server.  I presume there is a firewall in vROps but I cannot find any documentation on it.  Is anybody familiar with if there is a firewall in vROps 6.x and how to edit / configure it?

How to get started creating reports from vSphere

I recently upgraded to vSphere 6.0, I'm using vSphere Replication.  I would like to write a script or program to send me a e-mail every day with the current status of the replication.

 

I'm a programmer, but I can't seem to wrap my mind around how to get start on this.

I found this link (below), but I'm not sure what I'm looking for.

https://www.vmware.com/support/pubs/sdk_pubs.html#infrastructure

 

So any suggestion on how to get started on this?

 

Thanks.
