Limit the Clusters/VMs to monitor?

In our Organization, we have a single data center and several groups: one for Production servers, for development servers, that of VDI, one or two other smaller. I was recently asked to look at limiting the control of vCOps, as our development pole was constantly sending to 'noise' because of the way the machines are used by programmers in this cluster. Management decided that they would prefer that only the production cluster is monitored.

I did not perform the initial installation of vCOps and learn about the product I want. I examine the documentation installation and the KB2078313 ( http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 2078313 ) and also a few remote informal blogs the same process the Ko. It resembled the intent of it was more to prevent overexploitation of the licenses when limited to a number of machines. It seemed, however, that he can work to limit surveillance as well.

I have made the changes in permissions on vCenter as indicated, and then set up a membership with this custom role account, then only gave him the permissions on the data center and single cluster we want to monitor. I changed the Member's account in the admin of vCOps and tested the connection.

I waited a good day to be sure, the front-end updated, but I still see our data center together on the dashboard of the management for the vCOps interface.

Looking for some advice from someone else who tried to limit tracing in this way. Is there a best practice? Have you experienced no obstacles are not described in the KB? Thanks in advance!

What version are you using? 5.8.x or 6.x? In any case, instead of limit which cluster to watch, why not create a different strategy for your cluster and change the settings for alerts and thresholds/limit? That way you will continue to follow your entire environment without generating a 'noise '.

  • Any way to limit the clusters/servers/VMs being monitored?

    I just brought it to the top of my operations with 50 licenses VM server. I want to follow my server infrastructure, but not my view infrastructure. My vCenter server has a cluster for my servers and cluster for my desktop PC. Since operations looking for everything, including my office computers, I used a lot of 50 licenses. Is there a way to tell not to montior operations some servers or clusters? I looked around and saw nothing, but I wanted to ask to be sure.

    Yes, you can do it.

    the registration of VCOps to the VC, you may have noticed there are 2 sets of credentials - administrative and collector.

    in your vcenter, create a new user (say "VCOps_collector") and gim him "no access" on the cluster, you don't want to monitor.

    then use this user for the credentials of _collector_ in VCOps. in this way, it will not collect stats for the machines that you want to not monitored.

    you will still be able to see them in VCOps well, just as there are no statistics for them

  • limit the number of vms that are turned on by the user via vcenter

    Is it possible to limit the total number of vms turned on by user? If joe can create as many virtual machines as he wants, but he cannot have than 5 virtual machines powered at the same time.

    I thought about it, but I'm not a big fan of resource pools.

    It is interesting because ALL things made of ESX, pools are my absolute favorite, you can do a lot with swimming pools.  Even monitor the pools by a group of permissions, restrictions, segregation, performance, ease of management... This list is long...

    Pools are the BEST thing about ESX overall in my opinion, I think that you are missing a very crucial feature.

  • Remove host to vCenter, but keep the functional VMs on host?

    I managed on the basis of 3 guests by vCenter Essentials over which limit myself to 3 hosts managed by vCenter.  3 all hosts are connected to storage arrays, SAN, through Dell Power Connect switches.

    I want to delete a host to add a beefier host in his place.  If I remove a host, it will break the connections to the San?... because I want to leave the host VMs powerd on & keep functional.  Is this possible?  Would this work?

    Remove a host to vCenter will not affect SAN connections or virtual machines running - depending on whether you have any DRS you might be forced to put the host in maintenance mode and move virtual machines to other nodes or if you have active HA you can find in a State where you receive warnings about insufficient resources for failover.

  • How can I limit the amount of memory consumed by snapshots

    Is there a way to limit the amount of storage space that each VM is allowed to use through clichés?  For example-, I create a virtual machine with a 50 GB hard drive, using a provisioning.  Snapshots are taken regularly, until the size of the hard disk of the virtual machine plus size of all of his shots is 100 GB.  Assume that 100 GB is all the storage I want to allow any virtual machine to consume on the SAN.  Can I create a parameter through VMware or a tool of management of open source, which will be shot at 100 GB and prevent the snapshots taken once reached the limit of 100 GB?   I'm looking for a parameter that can be defined once and applied to all virtual machines in the environment.

    Thanks for your comments.

    as far as I know, this is not possible. You can set permission on the question of whether a user has the features of snapshot, but you cannot set a quota, etc. You cannot control the number of snapshots, a user might take or how much it can grow by. A single snapshot can develop up to the initial size of the virtual machine.

    VMware has an interesting poll on the management of the snapshot some time ago and some of the questions can suggest future features that could allow a type of instant control growth, etc. We will have to wait and see, but as it is today, it is not configurable. You can probably write scripts to monitor these virtual machines and after reaching a threshold, you can draw attention to it and maybe disable the snapshot feature but that will not stop a snapshot to give more if there are major changes in delta.

  • How can I limit the number of attempts to print a web page

    I am trying to find a solution to a problem on our network.
    We run several kiosk machines that allow customers to print documents and web pages. However, we find that we are wasting a lot of ink because of the user frequently sending the same print job on the printer.
    Yesterday we had someone print more than 70 pages, because they just keep clicking on print.
    I tried looking for an add-on that would solve this but was not able to find one.
    My question is this, is there an internal setting that can be changed in firefox to limit the number of prints is trying to say once every 30 seconds, or even a way to make a dialog box turns on screen saying that the print request is currently dealing and does nor print before completing the task at hand.

    Sorry, there no setting in Firefox to avoid that from happening. Once the user sees the "native print dialog" box (which is seen when you Ctrl + P for print), the operating system and the printer drivers are here.

    I saw something similar to that on kiosk / PC rental stores Office of FedEx, which inform the user of the cost per page, the user wants to send to a printer, and when the user click again to the same pages again, he asked if you want to spend another $x.xx to print a second copy. Would not too different to simply cut the printing of multiple copies of the same document and warn the user of this action.

    My advice is to discuss it with anyone who put in place these kiosks to be with.

  • Same question "how to limit the story" old with FF 27.0.1

    Windows 7 Pro, FF 27.0.1, Adobe and Flash modules (and it's auxiliary)... just the basics. My box is a server as well as used for most ordinary tasks... mail, browsers, editors of documents, etc., is always 'on' and never 'idle '. It's the Add-ons that make these things why don't do anything on my box.

    It is, I know, is an old question, but outstanding, in my opinion. I revive this post:
    https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/questions/799503?FPA=1

    First of all, let me say that I consider that the best time of the Firefox browser. I love the essential philosophy of Mozilla and Firefox customization by the user and the control, while respecting their need to ensure security and stability.

    OK, the issue is evident in the title, how can I limit history with Firefox? More recently, I observed when the activation and the deactivation of JavaScript in the preferences options has been removed. I have read the reasons of Bugzilla and Firefox and it was not difficult for me to open a topic: config tab next to a label containing a page I was working so I could see how the page without JavaScript. Once you know how, it was only a little more difficult that using the preferences options... which doesn't bother me really.

    The history limit is implicit in the browser itself, where, if you open the history window, you can see your history and (for me) see an option 'longer than six months' who, if you mouse over and right click will get an option 'remove '. I think that everyone who tries this blocking their browser and if something is deleted when you finally get to the top, it will be your cache.

    I know that the amount of history is set: config in the "places.history.expiration.transient_current_max_pages" as an integer parameter. Read many articles here in 'support' and personal judgment, I find that although the number can be increased, it cannot be decreased. If we do, it is up to the old definition as soon as Firefox is reopened.

    I read the blog referenced in the first link above: http://blog.bonardo.net/2010/01/20/places-got-async-expiration and it even seems outdated, containing references to places.history.expiration.max_pages, which is not the file in topic: config in 27.0.1

    In https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=643254 , I read the debate on these changes where Marco Bonardo held firmly at his post while I find the comment of al_9x, discuss the issue with him. "You have removed features that people use and love, that been in Fx since its inception. It is you who need to justify deletion. "And your justification of" nobody really wants expire history "is a lie, people do and I explained why", to represent my feelings completely. I have no need or desire for the history of more than 3 months. It is tyrannical to limit the ability of Firefox users to limit their history. And no.... I have not create yet another account of Mozilla and 'vote '.

    There must be a way I and other users can limit (or increase) their history. So I ask "how?" This is, by design, to do this then I find a very disturbing trend, away from the philosophy of the user control and customization.

    If I'm missing something, please let know me. Please * don't * send me a bunch of standard items 'aid', because I read all. That is my question.

    Kind regards
    Axis

    You must create a new pref to around places.history.expiration.max_pages if you want to change the default behavior.

  • How can I limit the number of Web sites on the new tab page?

    Is there a setting where I can limit the number of thumbnails / Web sites that appear on the new tab page? When I opened a new tab - I don't want to see tons of sites I have visited - but also, I don't want to delete them all. For example - there is a setting where the new tab page displays the last ten sites I've visited - with all my pinned sites?

    There are two settings 'hidden' for this 'grid '.

    Browser.newtabpage.Columns

    and

    Browser.newtabpage.Rows

    Type of topic: config in the URL bar and press ENTER.

    So put . browser.newtabpage in the top search bar.

    Each of these preferences in the lower panel right-click and select Edit. Then change the value default of 3 for each of these preferences to what you prefer, for "pinned" both sites all browsing history you want to appear in the 'grid '.

  • How can I limit the number libraries which is to find Photos

    How can I limit the number libraries which is to find pictures?

    I have about 10 libraries I've migrated opening today.

    I followed the advice I got from leonie, (level 10) below.

    Photos will create a new library of Photos in your iPhoto library.  The new library will be named as the iPhoto, with the extension ".photoslibrary" library and your original library will have a new file name extension ".migratedphotolibrary".  Rename the resulting ".photolibrary", so you will always be able to open in Aperture. The icons of libraries will change also. New photo library will display an icon of 'fan photos' with the flower of the Rainbow.


    So, I have now two files in my folder "Images".   One is called "Photo library" (these are ALL of .photoslibrary) the other is 'BACKUP ONLY iPhoto libraries' (these are ALL of .photolibrary).

    When I hold down the option key and start the Photos is to find all the libraries of two files above. How can I say Photos don't not to look in the old folder "iPhoto library"?

    This isn't a feature of Photos

    You can request that Apple itself - http://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html - but not, it is not an option

    Users cannot change or set the window size in their own browser from the URL bar any longer, they do so through the notebook in the Web Developer menu under the Firefox button.
