Can I monitor vCenter tags and create an alert if a computer doesn't have one?
Hi, We use vCenter to manage our VMs. We have the hosts in LM. We currently have a process where we get an email every morning that has VMs that don’t have any tags. We use Tags to manage backup schedules and things so not having any tags is bad. Anyway, I’m wondering if that’s something that we could use LM to monitor. I don’t need to confirm what the tag is, I just need to know if any VM doesn’t have any tags at all. Is that something we can do with the build-in checks LM does or is that something that would have to be created by hand? Thanks.Solved325Views28likes5CommentsVM creation date info from Vsphere

I cannot find a DataSource to build off to grab the uptime of our vCenter appliances. I am able to get ESXi hosts uptimes with: import com.vmware.vim25.mo.*; import com.santaba.agent.groovyapi.esx.ESX; def host = hostProps.get("system.hostname"); def user = hostProps.get("esx.user"); def pass = hostProps.get("esx.pass"); def addr = hostProps.get("esx.url") ?: "https://${host}/sdk"; def svc = new ESX(); svc.open(addr, user, pass, 10 * 1000); // Timeout in 10 seconds def rootFolder = svc.getServiceInstance().getRootFolder(); def hosts = new InventoryNavigator(rootFolder).searchManagedEntities("HostSystem"); hosts.each { esx -> def uptimeinSeconds = esx.summary.quickStats; println "UpTimeInSeconds=${uptimeinSeconds.uptime}"; } return 0; but cannot seem to adapt this for vCenter Appliances. Any help would be appreciated!320Views1like1CommentVMware Overview Dashboard
Hello, I'm new to LogicMonitor and we've just got our first vCenter server configured and monitored. I'm trying to figure out why theVMware Virtual Machine Status dashboard is saying "Instance limit exceeded (2000) (other than the obvious - that we exceeded the limit) and how to modify the dashboard to provide some meaningful data and visualizations that we can use. Has anyone else encountered this? And if so do you have a smaller query or dashboard panel that can help correct this? Thanks in advance.17Views0likes2CommentsNOC widget to show only devices that have alerting enabled
Hello LM Team, It would be great if the NOC widget in the Dashboards have the possibility to filter out inactive devices and show only the ones that actually have alerting enabled. For example we have VCenter that have 1500 virtual machines, but only about 10% of them are to be monitored at all times, so by default alerting is disabled for all VM machines from VCenter but these we actually need. Unfortunately the NOC widget will show us everything from that Datasource and it's problematic. Thank you.11Views2likes1CommentVMware vCenter monitor VM disk space alerts
Previous versions of VMware datasources had the ability to monitor disk space for VMs via vCenter. Looks like this ability has disappeared after LM fixed a datasource bug in January. We now have 100+ VMs that we monitor via vCenter but no alerts for their disk space. Is this something we are missing by accident, or has LM stripped this functionality on purpose?12Views0likes2Comments
