They are formally documented here , but it'll be helpful to quickly list them. Primary Node - the initial and only required Node in vROps. All other Nodes are managed by the Primary Node. In a Single-Node installation, the Primary Node does everything. Data Node - these have adapters installed on them, collect data, and perform anal

We've deployed vRLI, configured our vCenters and ESXi Hosts to send logs to it and now we want to use it to find VMs that have crashed. Let's do it! Go to Interactive Analytics and search for "guest operating system has crashed". I've found five log entries with this string since I started collecting data (notice the All time dropdown top right). As you hover over the Source you'll see the log source. You can also colorize by source by clicking the source link, which is qu

We'll perform remote deployments here, but local installs are also supported and documented later in this blog. Assuming your vROps environment is up and runn

Out of the box, vRealize Operations (vROps) will monitor and alert on Virtual Machine Disk Space. The Alert itself is called "One or more virtual machine guest filesystems are running out of disk space" and can be seen here. This will capture Linux filesystems and Windows drives that are running out of space. This is a Symptom Based Alert, so let's explore the underlying Symptom/s. There are two Symptoms defined, the Alert will trigger if either of them are true. In this c
