VROPs has gotten a metric crap-ton better in the custom reporting and data export feature land. However, I'm still running into one road block. How do I export a CSV file of time series data for specific metrics for vSphere objects like ESX Clusters? For instance, I would like to simply get a report that shows hourly memory usage values for every cluster for the last 7 days. Sometimes, I would like to be able to export the daily memory maximum usage for the last 3 months for each cluster.
The reason for this is so that I can do my own analysis within Excel when needed for special projects. This is to address analysis requests from management that just don't fit neatly into the VROPs out-of-the-box features.
Thanks in advance for any tips. In past gigs, I build a capacity management system on top of Splunk that allowed custom slicing and dicing of any data. I'm hoping that VROPs can get me to that level of openness with their data. Hotel California capacity management systems are not ideal.
