I had planned to configure a new alert in vRealize Operations to receive notifications about changes to virtual machines including modifications to the CPU, disk, memory, and additions or removals of new hardware. However, I encountered a problem I would like to share. I attempted to create an alert that would capture all hardware configuration changes in virtual machines, to […]
Last week, while supporting a customer with vRLI, I encountered an interesting challenge regarding notifications to vROps. At first, setting up the feature seemed relatively straightforward, and the customer started receiving notifications correctly. However, he had a specific requirement: he wanted to be notified when a host went into maintenance mode. Although I managed to set up the feature and […]
In the last post, I created a simple super metric, and now I want to show you how to create a view and dashboard for that super metric. Before I go through the configuration steps, I want to explain some terms in vRealize Operations. vRealize Operations displays the information you need in a variety of ways: with views, widgets, dashboards, […]
Super metrics in vRealize Operations are custom metrics that you can define using existing metrics and mathematical functions. They allow you to create new metrics that are specific to your environment and can help you gain deeper insights into the performance and health of your infrastructure. With super metrics, you can perform complex calculations and aggregations of the data collected […]
Virtual Machine Rightsizing is the process of optimizing the resources of a virtual machine to match its actual usage by analyzing its CPU and memory. This helps ensure efficient workload performance and reduce costs. VMware vRealize Operations can automate the process by suggesting changes to optimize resource allocation, resulting in improved performance and higher resource utilization. In another post, I […]
In this post, I will go through the deployment and initial configurations of vRealize Operations or vRops. Installing and configuring VMware vRealize Operations involves two main steps that include deploying the vRealize Operations Manager appliance and then Configuring it to access the Web UI using a web browser and work with it. Then you can access dashboards, views, alerts, and […]
