VMware Aria Operations (vROps)

VMware Aria Operations provides monitoring data for VMware instances. A VMware source is still required for migration.

Configuration

Register the appliance as a source of type vrops through the Sources page or migration-manager source add. Use its HTTPS address, such as https://ops.example.com, and an account with read access to the VMware inventory and monitoring data.

The default authentication source is LOCAL. For directory credentials, specify the configured authentication source. TLS trust is configured as for other VMware sources.

Monitoring data

Instance details show CPU and memory utilization, filesystem usage and capacity, disk I/O, network transmit rate, and health. Select a period to view averages for the last 10 minutes, hour, day, or week. Filesystem usage shows the latest values in that period. Guest filesystem data requires VMware Tools.

Periodic sync

Period summaries are fetched directly from vROps; historical data is not stored locally. Health and VM mappings are refreshed during VMware source synchronization or with the source’s Sync action.

Monitoring failures do not block migration.

Compatibility

The integration targets vROps/VMware Aria Operations 8.x.
