Configuring Adapters 2 vCenter Operations Manager uses adapters to exchange information with the data collection landscape. Configuring adapters involves defining and maintaining adapter instances and credentials.
VMware vCenter Operations Manager Enterprise Administration Guide Using Embedded Adapters Embedded adapters are the most commonly used adapters in vCenter Operations Manager. An embedded adapter is a Java component that is designed to run in the vCenter Operations Manager collector. The embedded adapter actively connects to a data source and pulls values from it. The vCenter Operations Manager ITM adapter is an example of an embedded adapter.
Chapter 2 Configuring Adapters An adapter instance can have one or more credentials. You can add credentials before you create an adapter instance and select the correct credential when you define the adapter instance, or you can add credentials when you define the adapter instance. After you define an adapter instance, you can discover and define resources for it.
VMware vCenter Operations Manager Enterprise Administration Guide Procedure 1 Select Environment > Configuration > Adapter Instances. 2 Select the collector to use from the Collector drop-down menu. Unless you added additional collectors, the only available collector is vCenter Operations Server. You can change the name of this collector when you install vCenter Operations Manager Standalone. 3 Select the adapter kind to add from the Adapter kind drop-down menu.
Chapter 2 Configuring Adapters Edit an Adapter Instance When you edit an adapter instance, you can change any of its attributes. The information that you can modify depends on the adapter kind. Procedure 1 Select Environment > Configuration > Adapter Instances. 2 (Optional) Filter the list of adapter instances. a Select the collector to use from the Collector drop-down menu. Unless you added additional collectors, the only available collector is vCenter Operations Server.
VMware vCenter Operations Manager Enterprise Administration Guide The custom SPI sends almost all metrics that OpenView collects to the vCenter Operations Manager collector. If necessary, you can designate which specific metrics to analyze and store. IMPORTANT Do not attempt to implement OVO services with vCenter Operations Manager if you are not proficient in OVO. For more information about how to implement the OpenView adapter for vCenter Operations Manager, contact VMware technical support.
Configuring Resources 3 A resource is any entity in your environment for which vCenter Operations Manager can collect data, such as a router, switch, firewall, database, application server, or TCP/IP-based application.
VMware vCenter Operations Manager Enterprise Administration Guide Discover Resources You typically define resources to vCenter Operations Manager through the discovery process. Discovering resources is usually more efficient than adding resources individually. NOTE You use discovery to define resources that use embedded adapters. Resources that use external adapters are already added to vCenter Operations Manager and do not need to be discovered.
Chapter 3 Configuring Resources 10 11 Select options for each resource. Option Description Import Import the resource, but do not start collecting data for the resource. Collect Start collecting data for the resource. When you select the Collect check box for a resource, the Import check box becomes selected. If you do not select the Collect check box, the resource appears in your resource list as Not Collecting and vCenter Operations Manager does not store data or perform analysis for the resource.
VMware vCenter Operations Manager Enterprise Administration Guide 5 Select an adapter kind from the Adapter kind drop-down menu. 6 Select an adapter instance from the Adapter instance drop-down menu, or click Add to add a new adapter instance. 7 Select a resource kind from the Resource kind drop-down menu. Additional configuration options might appear, depending on your selection. 8 Type the name of the resource that the adapter monitors in the Target to collect from text box.
Chapter 3 Configuring Resources Creating and Assigning Resource Tags A large enterprise can have thousands of resources defined in vCenter Operations Manager. Creating resource tags and tag values makes it easier to find resources and metrics in vCenter Operations Manager. With resource tags, you select the tag value assigned to a resource and view the list of resources that are associated with that tag value. A tag is a type of information, such as Application or GEO Location.
VMware vCenter Operations Manager Enterprise Administration Guide Predefined Resource Tags vCenter Operations Manager includes several predefined resource tags. It creates values for most of these tags and assigns resources to the values. For example, when you add a resource, vCenter Operations Manager assigns it to the tag value for the collector it uses and the kind of resource that it is. It creates tag values if they do not already exist. Table 3-1.
Chapter 3 Configuring Resources Procedure 1 Select Environment > Environment Overview. 2 Click the Manage Tags icon on the left side of the Environment Overview page. 3 Select the tag to add values to and click the Add Tag Value icon. 4 Type the name of the tag value in the new row. For example, if the resource group is composed of JBoss servers and you assigned the name JBoss to the tag, type a name to associate with one of the JBoss servers, such as JBoss1. 5 Click OK to add the tag value.
VMware vCenter Operations Manager Enterprise Administration Guide Procedure 1 Select Environment > Environment Overview. 2 Drag the resource from the list in the right pane of the Environment Overview page onto the tag value name. You can press Ctrl-click to select multiple individual resources or Shift-click to select a range of resources. The resources that you selected are now associated with the tag value.
Chapter 3 Configuring Resources 1 Activate the Geographical Location Feature on page 27 To group resources by location, you must activate the geographical location feature in vCenter Operations Manager. 2 Create a GEO Location Tag Value on page 27 Before you can assign resources to a location, you must create that location as a value of the GEO Location tag and define its position on the map. Create tag values for each of your office locations.
VMware vCenter Operations Manager Enterprise Administration Guide 4 In the Tag Value pane, click the Add Tag Value icon. 5 Type the name for the location and press ENTER. 6 Select the new tag and click the Manage Location icon. 7 Type the location in the Search text box and click Search. Your entry does not have to match the tag value exactly. For example, you can create a tag value called Los Angeles and search for Los Angeles, CA. 8 In the list of search results, click the location.
Chapter 3 Configuring Resources Procedure n To show the world map, select Environment > Environment Overview and select the Geographical tab in the right pane. n To show specific locations on the map, select one or more tag values under the GEO Location tag in the left pane. By default, the Geographical tab shows all resources for all locations. n To move the map, drag the map or use the direction arrows in the top left corner of the map.
VMware vCenter Operations Manager Enterprise Administration Guide Starting and Stopping Metric Collection When you add an individual resource to vCenter Operations Manager, vCenter Operations Manager does not start collecting metrics for the resource until you start metric collection. When you discover a resource, you can select an option to start metric collection on the discovery results page. If you did not select this option, you must start metric collection for the resource.
Chapter 3 Configuring Resources Using Maintenance Mode Many resources in the enterprise might be intentionally taken offline. For example, a server might be deactivated to update software. If vCenter Operations Manager collects metrics when a resource is offline, it might generate incorrect anomalies and alerts that affect the data for setting dynamic thresholds for the resource's attributes.
VMware vCenter Operations Manager Enterprise Administration Guide 2 On the List tab, select the resource or resources to place in maintenance mode. You can press Ctrl-click to select multiple individual resources or Shift-click to select a range of resources. 3 Click the Start Maintenance icon. 4 Select how long to keep the resource in maintenance mode. Option Action I will come back and end maintenance myself Maintenance mode starts for the selected resource when you click OK.
Chapter 3 Configuring Resources 4 Click OK to save your changes. Modifying Resources You might need to edit or delete resources to maintain your resources in vCenter Operations Manager. You can also change the default settings for a resource kind. Edit a Resource When you edit a resource, you can modify one or more of its permanent characteristics, such as its collector or attribute package.
VMware vCenter Operations Manager Enterprise Administration Guide Delete a Resource If you do not need a resource, you can delete it. Procedure 1 Select Environment > Environment Overview. 2 On the List tab, select one or more resources to delete. You can press Ctrl-click to select multiple individual resources or Shift-click to select a range of resources. 3 Click the Delete Resource icon on the top of the list. 4 Click Yes on the confirmation window to delete the resource.
Chapter 3 Configuring Resources 3 4 Edit the resource tag. Option Action Change the resource tag name Double-click the tag name and type a new name.

Your changes appear in the tag list on the Environment Overview page. Delete a Resource Tag or Tag Value If you do not need a resource tag or tag value, you can delete it.
VMware vCenter Operations Manager Enterprise Administration Guide Procedure 1 Select Environment > Advanced > Resource Kind Icons. 2 To list resource kinds for only one adapter, select the adapter kind from the Adapter kind drop-down menu. By default, the list contains all resource kinds appear and their icons. 3 (Optional) To upload your own icon to use, click the Upload Icon icon, browse to and select the file to use, and click Open. The icon appears in the icon list.
Configuring Attribute Packages 4 vCenter Operations Manager can collect several types of data for a single resource. For example, for a database server, it might receive data on free disk space, CPU use, and the average response time for a database request. Each type of data is called an attribute in vCenter Operations Manager. You use attribute packages to tell vCenter Operations Manager which attributes to track for your resources.
VMware vCenter Operations Manager Enterprise Administration Guide Thresholds A threshold is a value that marks the boundary between normal and abnormal behavior for a metric. When a metric crosses one of its thresholds, vCenter Operations Manager generates an anomaly. vCenter Operations Manager can use dynamic and hard thresholds. It defines dynamic thresholds for a metric based on historical and incoming data. A dynamic threshold changes, and a hard threshold is static.
Chapter 4 Configuring Attribute Packages Metrics that vCenter Operations Manager Generates For every resource that you define, vCenter Operations Manager generates and stores metrics in an attribute package metric group called vCenter Operations Generated. vCenter Operations Manager uses these metrics when it calculates the health of a resource. The vCenter Operations Generated package appears when you list the metrics for a resource.
VMware vCenter Operations Manager Enterprise Administration Guide Table 4-1. vCenter Operations Generated Attribute Package Metrics (Continued) Name Description Self - Total Anomalies Total number of active anomalies for the resource and all its children. This is the only vCenter Operations Manager generated metric that includes the resource itself and its children.
Chapter 4 Configuring Attribute Packages To make the attribute package the default package for resources of its resource kind, see “Change the Default Settings for a Resource Kind,” on page 34. Set Hard Thresholds for an Attribute By default, vCenter Operations Manager uses dynamic thresholding for attributes. You can override this behavior by setting hard thresholds for an attribute in an attribute package. A hard threshold is static. A hard threshold changes only when you change it.
VMware vCenter Operations Manager Enterprise Administration Guide Set the Data Type for an Attribute By default, vCenter Operations Manager recognizes the type of data that it receives for each attribute. You can override this behavior by explicitly setting the data type for an attribute in an attribute package. IMPORTANT If you do not set the correct the data type, vCenter Operations Manager does not use the proper analytic algorithms when it evaluates the metric.
Chapter 4 Configuring Attribute Packages Table 4-2. Metric Types Data Type Description common The attribute data is numeric. This is the most common type of attribute. multinomial The attribute data is one of a limited set of possible values, either string or numeric. sparse If you know that vCenter Operations Manager will not receive data for an attribute on a regular basis, use the sparse data type.
VMware vCenter Operations Manager Enterprise Administration Guide Design a Super Metric Because super metric formulas can be complex, design a super metric before you use the vCenter Operations Manager user interface to create it. The key to creating a super metric that alerts you to the right situations is knowing your own enterprise and your data. Procedure 1 Determine the resources that are involved in the behavior to track.
Chapter 4 Configuring Attribute Packages n To select a resource and metric, click the resource in the Resource pane and double-click the metric in the Metrics pane. The database IDs of the resource and metric appear in the formula line at the top of the window. n Define a metric for the resource to which the super metric is assigned. a In the Resources pane, click any resource that contains the metric to use. b Click the This Resource icon or type $This on the formula line.
VMware vCenter Operations Manager Enterprise Administration Guide Super Metric Functions vCenter Operations Manager includes functions that you can use in super metric formulas. The functions are either looping functions or single functions. Looping Functions Looping functions work on more than one value. Table 4-3. Looping Functions Function Description avg Average of the collected values. combine Combines all of the values of the metrics of the included resources into a single metric timeline.
Chapter 4 Configuring Attribute Packages For example, max([$This:CPUavg,Host3:CPUavg,VM:CPUavg) finds the value of the CPUavg metric for the resource to which the super metric is assigned, for the resource called Host3, and for all resources of type VM that are below the resource to which the super metric is assigned in the resource tree. Although this example uses the same metric in all three res:met pairs, you do not need to use the same metric.
VMware vCenter Operations Manager Enterprise Administration Guide Procedure 1 Select Environment > Advanced > Super Metrics > Super Metric Editor. 2 Click the Add New Super Metric icon. 3 Type a name for the super metric in the Super Metric Name text box. 4 Define the formula for the super metric. Select, in order, each function or operator to use and the metrics or attribute kinds to use in each function or with each operator.
Chapter 4 Configuring Attribute Packages 5 (Optional) To set the upper dynamic threshold violation for a super metric as a KPI, select the Violation of the Upper Dynamic threshold is a Key Indicator check box. 6 (Optional) To set the lower dynamic threshold violation for a super metric as a KPI, select the Violation of the Lower Dynamic threshold is a Key Indicator check box.
VMware vCenter Operations Manager Enterprise Administration Guide Modifying Attribute Packages To maintain your attribute packages in vCenter Operations Manager, you might need to edit, clone, or delete an attribute package. Edit an Attribute Package When you edit an attribute package, you can change the package name, change the collection interval, and add or remove attributes from the package.
Chapter 4 Configuring Attribute Packages Delete an Attribute Package If you do not need an attribute package, you can delete it. Procedure 1 Select Environment > Configuration > Attribute Packages. 2 (Optional) Select the adapter kind and resource kind of the attribute package to delete. 3 Select the attribute package to delete and click the Remove Selected Attribute Package icon. 4 Click Yes on the confirmation window to delete the package.
VMware vCenter Operations Manager Enterprise Administration Guide 5 To add or remove a super metric from the package, select or deselect the check box next to the super metric name. 6 (Optional) To set the upper dynamic threshold violation for a super metric as a KPI, select the Violation of the Upper Dynamic threshold is a Key Indicator check box.
Chapter 4 Configuring Attribute Packages Super Metric Use Case Consider an application, such as a Web-based business, where all of the servers in a tier perform a similar activity, such as processing transactions. In this use case, it might be useful to know the average of a metric, such as CPU usage, for all of the servers. You can define a super metric to track this number and assign it to the tier. Prerequisites n Become familiar with creating or editing super metric packages.
VMware vCenter Operations Manager Enterprise Administration Guide 54 VMware, Inc.
Configuring Applications 5 An application is a type of container resource that defines an interdependent set of hardware and software components that delivers a specific capability that supports your business. You build application topologies to determine how applications are affected when one or more of the resources that they contain experience problems.
VMware vCenter Operations Manager Enterprise Administration Guide To maintain the highest possible server performance, vCenter Operations Manager tracks each captured fingerprint to determine if the set of conditions it represents recurs and if those conditions help to predict future problems. If a fingerprint is not useful in predicting problems, vCenter Operations Manager deactivates it and stops checking for its recurrence. Add an Application You build an application topology by adding an application.
Chapter 5 Configuring Applications Creating and Assigning Application Tags You can use application tags to categorize and manage applications in your environment. Creating application tags and tag values makes it easier to find applications in vCenter Operations Manager. Rather than searching through thousands of applications in a long list, you can easily use tags to find the applications you want.
VMware vCenter Operations Manager Enterprise Administration Guide What to do next Associate an application with the tag value. See “Associate an Application with a Tag Value,” on page 58. Associate an Application with a Tag Value When an application is associated with a tag value, you can use the application tag hierarchy to select it in vCenter Operations Manager. Prerequisites n Create an application tag. See “Add an Application Tag,” on page 57. n Add a value to the application tag.
Chapter 5 Configuring Applications Modifying Applications To maintain your applications in vCenter Operations Manager, you might need to add or delete tiers, add or delete resources from tiers, change the names of tiers, or delete applications. Edit an Application When you edit an application, you can add and delete tiers, add and delete resources from tiers, and change the names of tiers. IMPORTANT Do not delete a tier that contains resources for which metrics are being collected.
VMware vCenter Operations Manager Enterprise Administration Guide Modifying Application Tags To maintain application tags, you might need to remove an application from a tag value, edit or delete an application tag, or edit or delete a tag value. Edit an Application Tag When you edit an application tag, you can change the tag name and the names of its tag values. Procedure 1 Select Environment > Applications Overview. 2 Click the Manage Tags icon on the left side of the page.
