createUserGroup: Request method 'POST' not supported

$
0
0

I am attempting to import an AD Group using the vRealize Operations API (6.6.1), although the REST API documentation states that the usergroups POST is for creation of a new local user group, the data representation provides an authSourceId fiield, so I decide to send a test to see whether the group would get created and imported. When I send the POST, I receive an error stating that the method is not supported, although it is in the public API documentation

 

/suite-api/docs/rest/index.html

 

POST /api/auth/usergroups

 

Sanitized sample data:

 

{

  "name" : "AD_GROUP",

  "description" : "desc",

  "authSourceId": "ad-auth-source-id",

  "role-permissions" : [ {

    "roleName" : "Administrator",

    "traversal-spec-instances" : [ {

      "adapterKind" : "VMWARE",

      "resourceKind" : "vSphere World",

      "name" : "vSphere Hosts and Clusters",

      "selectAllResources" : true

    } ],

    "allowAllObjects" : true,

    "others" : [ ],

    "otherAttributes" : {

    }

  } ],

  "others" : [ ],

  "otherAttributes" : {

  }

}

 

HTTP Status 405 – Method Not Allowed

Request method 'POST' not supported

Description: The method received in the request-line is known by the origin server but not supported by the target resource.

 

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

View with Per VM CPU/MEM vHardware Allocation Changes?

$
0
0

I'm having trouble pulling a report/view for management... they are looking for a list of Per VM how much virtual hardware assignment CPU or RAM has increased or decreased over the last year (or since VM creation). For instance something like this:

 

VM NameCPU Delta
Initial CPUCurrent CPUMemory Delta (GB)Initial Memory (GB)Current Memory (GB)
VM1+123+448
VM2+426044
VM3-21210-61812
VM(n)..................

 

I know the delta math can easily be done in excel, but I can't figure a way to get the Initial and Current numbers that I need, out of vROps...  Anyone know if this is possible, and how to do so?  if not, are we using the wrong product for this type of thing?  any suggestions welcome!

 

Thanks!!

Problem with custom group

$
0

Hi,

For a custom dashboard, I need to keep track of the number of VMs in a custom group.

But I can not find Metric summary | total_number_vms for my custom group.

I thought creating a supermetric, but I did not succeed to the good result.


Someone already did it do that?

Custom Group Calculation

$
0
0

In our Setup, we have a vCenter with 4 Clusters and we need to monitor them differently. So, we created two Custom Groups:

 

Group 1:

Every descendant VM of Cluster1 / Cluster2 / Cluster3

 

Group 2:

Every descendent of vCenter
Excludes Group 1 (and its descendants)

 

We have noticed that if we add new VMs to Clusters 1/2/3, they appear in Group 1, but they are not automatically excluded in Group 2.

 

Even though this whole approach can be questioned, we have primarily two specific questions (for my understanding):

  1. If we check the “Keep Group membership up to date” – how often will the group membership be calculated or are there any triggers?
  2. If we exclude a whole group (with its descendants), will this be a dynamic exclusion or will the exclusion list stay static no matter whether the initially excluded group changes or not?

 

Thanks!

How to replicate/tweak default "Summary" dashboard for Virtual Machine objects?

$
0
0

What I'm trying to accomplish is to change some of the "about me" and metric info under the "performance" and "capacity" boxes on the right-hand side of the Virtual Machine Summary page in vROps.  I also want to rearrange the layout of the page, etc...

 

From what I have found, it looks like you're unable to tweak the default page but you can replace it with a dashboard you create... with that info I have gone about trying to replicate the summary page as a dashboard but it's arduous and I am hoping to find a better way. 

 

Can I replicate the "summary" dashboard somehow? then simply tweak it as needed and set as default?

 

The issue I'm having with recreating the summary dashboard from scratch is that I can't figure out how to add the "about me" section they have with properties of the object.

 

Any help appreciated, thanks!

 

This is the page (when you select a VM) I want to recreate or tweak somehow:

Include VM top level folder in view/report?

We are trying to include the TOP LEVEL folder that each VM is under, as a column in one of our report views.

 

I see that we can include the parent folder property, but we need the highest level folder, not the parent.  Any way to do this?  Super metric??

 

thanks!

Can we retain the existing data in VCOPS 5.8.4 and use it in VROPs 6.4?

Meaning we migrate the data from 5.8.4 to 6.4?

 

Also can we do this if from 6.0 VROPs to 6.5/6.6?

vCD Adapter - Access is forbidden

Hello,

 

we run VMware vCD 8.20, vROps 6.6 and vCD Adapter 4.5. Once a day our Connection between vROps and vCD Terminates with this error in ADAPTER Log:

At the Same Tome we see on the vCD Logs:

2017-09-11 20:00:36,057 | SECURITY | pool-jetty-80 | SecurityServiceImpl | Session is invalid because it has expired | requestId=dadce85a-7071-494c-9c68-aa8ff554edfb,request=GET https://<FQDN>/api/admin/extension,requestTime=1505152836034,remoteAddress=<IP>.5:27856,userAgent=Apache-HttpClient/4.5 (Java/1.8.0_131),accept=application/*+xml;version 20.0

 

We tried the connection via the Load Balancer and to on of our Cell with the same issue.

 

Anyone had the same Issue?

 

EDIT:

Issue occurs every 24h and that is our vCD Session Timeout. But this does not make sense. Adapter need to handle that...

 

Best Regards,

Markus

Cannot remove userGroup whose sourceId is not null by passing sourceId parameter as null

$

0

Received an error when using the DELETE /api/auth/usergroups/{id} to remove an AD group. Granted, it states it is for 'local' group deletion. So, I attempted to pass in the parameter:

 

https://<vrops-server>/suite-api/api/auth/usergroups/<ad-group-id>?sourceId=<ad_auth_source_id>

 

and even tried to send in the json body

 

{

  "sourceId": "800b9f52-e218-4e8a-807d-baaf99e2de95"

}

 

which also yielded the same result (Canoot remove userGroup).

 

I thought I might use PUT /api/auth/usergroups

 

to modify the group by setting the auth source to null so it could then be deleted, but the documentation is very light, and sending either name or id does not allow group modification:

 

{

  "id": "<group-id>",

  "sourceId": null

}

 

returns:

 

{

"message": "Invalid request... #1 violations found."

"validationFailures":

 
{

 

"failureMessage": "may not be empty"

"violationPath": "name"

}

"httpStatusCode": 400

"apiErrorCode": 400

}

 

Updating the original call with 'name' returns:

 

{

"message": ""UserGroup" with identifier "CN=AD_Openstack,OU=Rialto,OU=Application Managed,OU=Groups,DC=amr,DC=corp,DC=intel,DC=com" already exists."

"httpStatusCode": 422

"apiErrorCode": 1508

}

 

So it seems I am at an impasse. Assistance would be appreciated.

I'm trying to modify the alerts on specific w2k3 virtual machines...their local disks are at 90% capacity or they have Ballooning memory, the disk doesn't change and the memory is maxed out at 4GB (32 bit)  I want to exclude these virtual machines from specific alerts.

 

Veeam One Monitor allows for this.

vROps 6.6 windows based remote collector

I heard that once you upgrade to vROps 6.6, you will no longer be able to use Windows based remote collectors.

 

Is this true?  Do vROps 6.6 remote collectors have to be installed on a linux based system?

 

I can't imagine this being the case, is it true??  I tried to look it up but I was not able to confirm either way.

 

Thanks

PCI Compliance Reporting - vROPS 6.6

$

Hi, I've just installed the PCI Compliance report solutions pack for vROPS and seeing some odd results. Any advice or views on this would be appreciated.

 

First, the hardening guide report comes out with a long list of suggestions for pretty much everything, which isn't unexpected and we're going to be reviewing these and make changes where we feel it's appropriate.

 

However, when we run the PCI check only the VMs come out with any warnings/errors. The hosts, are green on everything. Where this is strange is with items such as AD Integration for the hosts. The report states:

 

My understanding was that 2.2.4 actually said the opposite, that configuring the hosts to use Active Directory was a requirement. When I view the VMware VCM Product Sheet PCI-DSS-3.1 spreadsheet I see this on line 3706:

 

Payment Card Industry DSS 3.1 - vSphere 6 ESXi* 2.2.4 Configure system security parameters - Use Active Directory for local user authenticationvCenter Hosts* User Intervention Required: User should enter the value for domain name to which host must be joined as appropriate.    This rule verifies that active directory is used for authentication as appropriate.

 

The hosts themselves are not joined to the domain (which I was going to do), but I'm puzzled which report is correct. Should I take note of the PCI Compliance check in vROPS (Saying the hosts are fine as they are), or do I take note of the PCI product sheet which states AD should be used for local authentication?

 

I'm pretty sure the report in vROPS isn't accurate on this particular point. Surely using centralised account management is far superior than local accounts.

 

Any thoughts would be appreciated here.

 

Thanks

Additional Time Series Retention - Details?

$

Does anyone have any more details about the new global option (I believe appeared in 6.6) called "Additional Time Series Retention"

 

This is all I could find but it doesn't contain the detail I'm looking for...

 

 

-Looking for the level of roll-ups...  monthly? weekly? daily? hourly? etc..

-Maybe sizing considerations for this data?

-How are roll ups stored... as point-in-time data slice? or averages from all data during the rollup period?

 

TIA.
