Hi All
I've been using vCOPs (Enterprise vAPP) for a good while now with fairly mixed results. One of the issues that is stumping me right now is monitoring the status of the vCOPs VMs and Services themselves. I have had a couple of instances where vCOPS has just stopped logging data or where the main web interface is not responding and I have only become aware of it when myself or my colleagues have attempted to use it.
So what I'm really asking is what do you guys do to monitor the general health of vCOPs itself? Does anyone use Xymon/Hobbit or Nagios type client software installed the Linux VMs? Does anyone monitor the actual /vcops-vsphere, /vcops-custom or /admin pages? Or do you use another strategy altogether?
Thanks in advance
Danny
