New VMware modules dropped
Did anybody else notice the ~44 new and ~5 updated modules around VMware dropping in the last hour or so? Does anyone know how to implement these new modules? Since there was talk of making the instances into resources I don’t want to just bring them in without knowing how it’s going to mess with my device list (which is tightly bound to billing for us).Datasource to get Uptime of VMWare vCenter Appliance
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!VM creation date info from Vsphere
Hi, I am trying to add an attribute for VM creation date on datasource: VMware_vSphere_VirtualMachinePerformance I tried to add below line in the Active Discovery script: 'auto.config.create_Date' : vmConfig?.createDate, But getting an error. Has anyone else already tried getting this property of the VM or knows a solution?Resolution for: "VMware Troubleshooter-Unable to get list of VCSA metrics Alert"
We've started having this VMware Troubleshooter alert "Unable to get list of VCSA metrics Alert". The notes mention ensuring the user is assigned to SystemConfiguration.Administrator SSO group. We've confirmed this is already in place and are confused because the membership of the user hasn't changed. Has anyone else experienced this and resolved successfully? All other vCenter and vSphere modules that I have spot-checked are polling data successfully.
What is the correct way to exclude VMWare folders from the new script netscan?
I am trying to use the netscan to discover VM/ESXi hosts within my vCenter applicances. I want to exclude a few specific folders when viewing from "VM and Templates" view. It looks like it supports excluding folders based on the doc, VMware vSphere Monitoring | LogicMonitor I have added this filter attribute 'vcenter.folder' and in the scan it looks like this. This doesnt seem to work though. Ive tried both 'contain' and 'notcontain' and neither are excluding these folders. Any ideas?
