In general, you are correct. We expect a certain number of heartbeats in a certain time, and the % is the number of times we get a response over how many we expected.

Understood. If you only have DPA, you can still install DPAIM standalone - just hook it up to a SQL Express instance and turn on integration - instant Perfstack. Cheers!

Hi. If you look at the environment list section, you'll see it goes through 12.1, which is the release prior to 2019.4. These should be still applicable to 2019.4, I've asked to get the documents updated, and see if we can list the newest version first. Cheers.

QPA is a feature of DPA 12.0. For earlier version, when you get properties, click Historical charts and you should see executions. What's new in DPA 12.0? * DPA 12.0 Part 1: Query Performance Analysis and PerfStack * DPA 12.0 Part 2: Table Tuning Advisor

If you turn off performance, you should be able monitor the XIV without issue. Please contact IBM and report the issue with the provider, I will ping my IBM contacts as well. Brian

Thanks for catching that, I clarified my post.

Paul. Thanks for the feedback. Status and alerting are some of the planned features going forward, and you can see AG improvements are listed in the What We Are Working On for DPA (Updated April 7, 2017) I'll reach out to you to chat further, and make sure you are included in the next beta.

Hi, What version of EOC are you on and have you filed a case for this specific problem? Definitely would like to chat with you about this problem and EOC in general. Brian

Good to hear you are able to monitor in AWS. Can you point me at that document page for the Reader you are looking at?

The module bundled with SAM is for integration with DPA. Once you have DPA installed and integrated with DPA, the integration module will expose DPA data in both a summary views and resources as well as contextually to databases and applications views. Here is the newest integration video showing you how to integrate and…

If you want users to enter monitor.yourdomain.com and go to this server, I think the best way is to add a mapping to DNS.

Thanks for the feature request, we will put in in the queue. Brian

Can you post a screenshot of what you see for your query?

At the moment, the Centera is not on our roadmap. That can always change if we see enough interest. Thanks for the question. Brian

See if you can upgrade to 7.1.1. Brian

Hi, Yes, you won't be able to keep the names of the files the same with seperate schedules. We have a feature request to allow schedules to run multiple times a day, but it has not made it to the roadmap yet. Brian

Mark, No plans for supporting OpenFiler at this time, but that can always change based on user interest. Are you using OpenFiler to serve files to your environment, or to do shared storage to your Virtual environment? Brian

That should be covered in the policy. Is it just one server or all servers? If all/most, then try pushing the policy again. 

Peter What problem are you trying to solve? We have another product Virtualization Manager that takes a deep dive on VMware and is better than vCOPS in many ways (and cheaper). It is a virtual appliance and easier to configure than Storage Manager. I suggest you give it a try before you make a decision. Brian

Hi Virtualization Manager is fully compatible with vCenter 5.0. Note we license per-VM, so if you have exceeded your license, you cannot add any more data sources. If you have not exceeded your license, please check your credentials and user permissions. If that doesn't work, then contact support. Brian

Note in recent versions - 4.12.2 and 4.12.3 I believe - the SQL was hidden by default. I ran the same report as above on 4.12.4, did a view source and the SQL was there: //REPORT QUERY //SELECT a.DeviceId, a.DeviceHostName as Field_6069, name as Field_6070, basePath as Field_6071, Level as Field_6072 FROM…

RE: VMan Orion integration - yes, version 6.0 added extensive integration features in Orion - if you have not turned them on, you are missing the all the good stuff! For more info on features and how to turn on the integration, please review: As far as the SWQL question, Lukas can give you a better answer. Note that 6.0.1…

In general, we expect newer versions to work. Haven't heard any reports of problems with MySQL. Are you using DPA 12.1?

Kevin put together a post with monitoring local administrators, might be a good starting point. Manage and Monitor PowerShell Scripts

Thanks, please keep us posted. Brian

Maustin, It is high on our priority list and is on our what we are working on post, but no timetable yet. Brian

Yes, you can configure all agents via the policy under real time status. 

Thanks for voting, we will keep you posted.

For the Profiler Server, I would recommend a 2 processor 4GB server if you can offload the monitoring of the arrays, switches and Virtualization to 2 agents (a virtual machine is fine). You can leverage any of the agents you deploy to the backup server or file servers to monitor your storage arrays and switches. For the VM…

The attribute you are looking for is /virtualMachine/guestFullName, but you need to modify it like this: if (contains(/virtualMachine/guestFullName, '32-bit')) then '32-bit' else if (contains(/virtualMachine/guestFullName, '64-bit')) then '64-bit' else 'Unknown' You should be able to paste that into Field and then save it.…
