On the 15th the VROps Management Pack for VSAN 6.0.3 was released. If you have VROps Standard or higher you can take advantage of this management pack. It is supported for the latest release of VSAN, 6.1, as of this management pack officially. Very useful to find out if there are any anomalies and what the trends are. I’ve always loved VROps and it just became even more useful to me!
For those who want even more info, there is also a Log Insight Content Pack for VSAN available, which can give you some great insights on what is going on within your VSAN environment. For instance when there is congestion as shown in the screenshot below, which I borrowed from Cormac.

Hi Duncan, thanks for the update. The vRops management pack for storage devices/VSAN would normally require an advanced or enterprise vRops license, because of the advanced/custom dashboards that are used in the management pack…
Duncan Epping says
Yes normally, not for VSAN that is not needed.

Hi Viktorious. I believe with this management pack a concession has been made to allow it to be utilised with vROps Standard Edition for VSAn deployments only. So it should work.
Cheers
David

Well, that’s nice! There’s nothing about this on the webpage for this management pack at the solutions exchange. Do you guys know where to find additional info on this option?
Cheers – Viktor

Yes I know, already for it to be covered in other places. It isn’t clear indeed.

Is it just me, or does this still not support SNMPv3 for switch port statistics, etc?
