Hi, a small question: do you have in Credentials list also the credentials with full access or did you remove them? It's necessary to keep just credentials with limited access.

If this is the case, see my steps below. If not, please describe your problem in detail. Thanks. 1) the easiest solution would be creation of two separate alerts,…

Hi, yes, it's possible to create a new Trend that shows vCPU to pCPU ratio for Hosts. You can create a copy of existing "vCPU to Host cores ratio" trend and configure it to your needs, i.e.: Then the trend lines should look like this: Note: as this is a new trend, there's no historical data available.

You'll see…

Hi, first thing that come on my mind is credentials. Do you use the same credentials in VMAN as well as in the vCenter? - I'd suggest that you login to vCenter MOB pages (https://vCenter_IP_addr/mob) with the VMAN credentials, go through the structure to focus on a cluster (with missing ESX hosts in VMAN) and check if all…

Hi byrona, in VMAN I suppose the best way is to use "vm.internal.dateCreated" attribute. Query may look like "vm.internal.dateCreated:[now-1days TO *]" to get list of new VMs in past hour. There's also a trend "VMs new to SolarWinds in the last 7 days" which shows you count of newly added VMs in time. Let me know if it's…

I guess this discussion should be in http://thwack.solarwinds.com/community/network-management_tht/orion-network-performance-monitor

Jon, you can search for VMs by a vm.folder.name attribute (and/or by cluster.name, host.name if there's the same folder name in other vCenters). How to do that? By Trends or Alerts. A) Trends (VMs per Folder) - perform a search query: vm.folder.name:* (or vm.folder.name:Folder_name to get VMs from a particular Folder_name…

Hi Martin, there are several ways to bypass alerting for particular VMs. The only problem is to distinguish VMs that should be excluded. 1) it's possible to exclude VMs from the alert by using their name. The solution is suitable when you want to exclude just several VMs. Example: * vm.origin:vmware AND NOT…

Hi, please look at VMan and Custom Attributes / Annotations from vCentre for Hosts and Query to find VMs without notes . Does it answer your question? Milan

When a label is assigned to VM(s) (or Host, Datastores, etc.) then you can use the label name or label values in search query. There's an example of "Department" label: You can filter out VMs by typing this Search Queries: Department:Finance Department:*i* Or you can use just label value, i.e. "Finance" as a SQL query. For…

There are several ways to preserve the sort field: 1)…

Hello Greg, regarding newly added VMs please look at this Thwack thread. Deleted VMs can be found via predefined "Stale VMs - Data Collection Behind Schedule" search. But keep in mind that such search could show not only deleted VMs but also VMs (and their Hosts) having problems with connection. So you can for example use…

Hello, I can't tell you why the counts are different, too little information. BTW, is VIM integrated with VMAN? I would suggest that you contact Support, send them logs and then we will see what's going on. Milan

Hello, when you add columns into the Top-N widget you can use your own xPath expressions in "Field" box.
