VM Templates and custom reports

Hello

I finally had the time to install VCO and LCM and I am about to see what he can do for us.

What makes MCL attractive for us is decommissioning automated virtual machines.

The other thing, we are very interested is in charge and reports.

However, after a brief play with LCM seems a bit limited in load and functionality of reports.

First in charge, the only place where I can put the load is at a level of model. I see a few problems with this.

Our pricing will rely essentially on the amount of RAM. This seems to mean that I need to

create a template for each possible RAM configuration and assign a cost to this model.

It would have been easier if I could indicate the cost and required RAM on the custimaztion option. Seems to work well for CPU but not possible for RAM.

Second statement, it doesn't seem to be sufficiently flexible. When I run a report cost for example it still shows VMs that have been downgraded.

I would like to customize the reports. Is it possible directly? I guess I can work with the XML file, but that's not ideal either.

Can Orchestrator help out me? VChargeback would be better for the load?

See you soon

Please consider my response as 'useful' or 'proper' marking

Yes, LCM did a great job when it comes of the request, approval, commissioning, and auto-off service of Virtual Machines... but you're right, it is weak in the area of notification and chargeback. VMware Chargeback would certainly be a much better solution for the part internal billing of your solution.

LCM reports are indeed limited, and creation of custom reports must be made through the vCenter Orchestrator Client. It's a bit of a process to create new reports and to make them display correctly in LCM, and there is no control over the order of the columns created Custom reports.

  • OBIEE 11 G and custom reports

    I went to a presentation the other day about the new 11G. One of the things they said is that if you have custom reports and custom themes, you must re-create them after you have upgraded. The upgrade is supposed to destroy. I hope that I misunderstood.

    We keep all of our custom reports and dashboards in a folder in the catalog separate from outside of the edge of the box.

    We have created new areas with our own standard of naming separate from the outside of the box areas.

    When we improve, I really lose all the work we have already done? My dashboards will disappear? My reports will disappear? Can I import them back somehow?

    Hello

    But I still don't know if my custom reports will be upgraded too, otherwise they will be deleted.

    Reports of will not be deleted, but some reports may not run correctly... Many tests must be done...

    From the blog...
    We cannot wait for all the reports to start working out of the box immediately after an upgrade. Good amount of tests is necessary to ensure that all former applications most commonly used reports are working without any major problems. Also, not all reports would have migrated transparently because of significant changes in versions which does not recognize the utility.

  • views and custom reports

    Hi all

    I am working on a custom view & report for groups, I used for the test of the "CustomViewsAndReports.xml" provided.

    The creation through vcops - viewsreports.sh is OK:

    Total views: 3

    Creation View::VCOps.BadgesAndCounts

    Creation of Trend View VCOps.BadgesAndCounts for data center

    View trend created for data center VCOps.BadgesAndCounts

    ....

    reports are created in too:

    Report: VCOps.AllCustomViews

    Report for data center

    Added dc/VCOps.BadgesAndCounts view of the report

    But after glancing vsphere-ui & choose a data center:

    in views, I see new postings, but the names of row or column/description/titles are not displayed

    for example 'dc/VCOps.VMListBadges/table/title' instead of 'KP '. FancyVMList title.

    in the reports, I can't see all reports

    Thks,

    Have you tried to restart VCOps services?

  • In my custom report template link doesn't work - Apex 3.1

    I created a report model based on my report columns

    The report of my query is:
    SELECT ID, NAME, MEM_DATE_NAIS BIRTH MEM_NOM MEM_NAS
    OF ACMT_MEMBRE;

    My custom report template have this definition of the line template:
    < tr onclick = "redirect ('f?)" p = & APP_ID.:6: & SESSION. (: 6:P6_NAS: #ID #'); ">
    < class td #ALIGNMENT # = "t16data_edit" > #NAME # < table >
    < class td #ALIGNMENT # = "t16data_edit" > #BIRTH # < table >
    < /tr >

    This would redirect to page 6, when the user clicks anywhere on a line, but it does not work.
    I have this error message:
    CHECK$ 01'); ("> CHECK$ 01'); ("> CHECK$ 01'); ("> CHECK$ 01'); ("> CHECK$ 01'); ("> CHECK$ 01'); ("> CHECK$ 01'); ("> CHECK$ 01'); ("> CHECK$ 01'); ("> CHECK$ 01'); ("> CHECK$ 01'); ("> CHECK$ 01'); ("> CHECK$ 01'); ("> CHECK$ 01'); ("> CHECK$ 01'); ">

    I realized that this problem is caused by #ID # because if I encode this ID, it works.
    How my report model can get the 'ID' of my query report?

    Hi fac586:

    (1) my request report is:

    SELECT '''f?p=&APP_ID.:6:&APP_SESSION.:::6:P6_NAS:'||MEM_NAS||'''' LINK
    ,MEM_NOM NAME
    ,MEM_DATE_NAIS||decode(MEM_DATE_NAIS, NULL, NULL,' >') BIRTH_DATE
    FROM ACMT_MEMBRE
    

    I wouldn't try to include the quotes here: put them in the template (below):

    SELECT 'f?p=&APP_ID.:6:&APP_SESSION.:::6:P6_NAS:' || MEM_NAS LINK
    ,MEM_NOM NAME
    ,MEM_DATE_NAIS||decode(MEM_DATE_NAIS, NULL, NULL,' >') BIRTH_DATE
    FROM ACMT_MEMBRE
    

    (2) here are all the HTM in the sections of the report model:
    Models of the line: line model 1

    <tr onclick="redirect("#LINK#");">
    #NAME#
    #BIRTH_DAY#
    
    

    You cannot nest quotes of the same type (and note that this is not what you posted previously). Use:

    <tr onclick="redirect('#LINK#');">
      #NAME#
      #BIRTH_DAY#
    
    

    (3) the display attributes for the columns of the report are:

    Link: hidden

    As previously stated, in a model of named column, column values are not "hidden" just because the user doesn't see them: if it is referenced in the model column must be shown and "displays" in an appropriate form. In this case, it should be Standard report column. (Displayed as 'Hidden' will be generated a < input type = "hidden"... > element, which is where all of these weird attributes in the output of.)

    Hello mikegrimesWQ,

    Because it looks like you have reinstalled Windows XP, what happens when you turn on your computer?  Windows loads correctly and allow you to connect with success?  Have you completed all the updates of Windows since the relocation?  Do you get errors at any time?

    What version of Windows XP you are using and which service pack is currently installed?  I would say confirming all your drivers are recognized and updated.

    How to download updates that include drivers and hotfixes from the Windows Update Catalog

    Please let us know status.

    There isn't any doc separate registration custom app.

    Unique doc ' Creation of a custom in Oracle E-Business Suite version 12.2 Application (Doc ID 1577707.1) "should take care of the creation of custom applications and recording as well.

  • SSRS / Custom reports - see the error model

    Hello

    There is a problem in the custom report module (SSRS), the reports were works in version 6.0, but we get the error on the same report 6.1.

    When we tried to bebug the problem, we have found that the custom viewmodel used in the search for the EQT question.

    For example the model EQT visibility does not work.
    Example:

    < Type ParameterType = "PkgSpec" webControl = "ReportingControls/EQTInput.ascx" >

    < model displayVariableIndex '1' = > SearchableView:Config:ProdikaSettings/EQTConfiguration/GSMsvSearchableMultiSelectViews, PackagingSpecViewSingleSelect < / template >

    < / ParameterType >

    Error information:

    Object reference is not set to an instance of an object.

    Description:
    An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web
    request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and
    originated in the code.

    Exception details:
    System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of a
    object.


    However, a different point of view model works fine 6.1 and 6.0:

    < Type ParameterType = 'Installation' webControl = "ReportingControls/EQTInput.ascx" >

    < model displayVariableIndex '1' = > SearchableView:Config:ProdikaSettings/EQTConfiguration/PQSSearchableMultiSelectViews, FacilityViewSingleSelect < / template >

    < / ParameterType >

    Wait for the viewmodel change there is no difference between these two configuration of custom report, please let us know, how to solve this problem.

    Kind regards

    When you use the Get view as seen on the first line of the script, it appears the CustomField information not available in the generated view.  How to develop the view to include CustomFields/CustomAttributes for each virtual computer in our environment and then report on their subject?

    Please let me know if I did a poor job explaining the scenario and what I'm after here.  Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Hello, jSun311-

    Yes, you are right - there is no such thing as the "CustomFields" property on a managed object VirtualMachine .  You can always get the names and the corresponding values of the custom fields, you just have a little.  For example, you could change the line to:

    ...## make a comma-separated string that holds the custom field key/value pairs, like "cust0 = myValue0,cust1 = myDateInfo"$Details | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name CustomFields -Value (($VM.Value | %{$oCustFieldStrValue = $_; "{0} = {1}" -f ($VM.AvailableField | ?{$_.Key -eq $oCustFieldStrValue.Key}).Name, $oCustFieldStrValue.Value}) -join ",")...
    

    and you should be happy as a clam.

    BTW, this call Get-view on your first line could be optimized a little using the - Filter parameter, like:

    $AllVMs = Get-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -Filter @{"Config.Template" = "false"}
    

    Pretty minimal in this case, but can be very useful in other scenarios of Get-View.  And, you may want to retrieve only the properties of the managed VirtualMachine object that you plan to use, so that the memory usage is reduced to the minimum, speed is optimized, etc. (do you this by using the - Get-mode property param).

    Anyway, how does do for you?

    I would like to create a report from the latancy VMware Storage model, but have the ability to account for the multiple datatstores. I need to create a new report template to do this, or do I have to create a Service with the data store and to report on this service?

    Hi Giles

    You use WVE 7.1 or earlier? I remember that the VMware storage latency report could run for the storage of personal data.

    From WVE 7.2, you should be able to run against all data warehouses. Keep in mind the report displays only with latency data warehouses.

    WVE 7.2 should be available in a few weeks.

    I hope this helps.

  • Share customized reports

    I just took a class from insight Analyzer and told me that if I created a folder and placed reports customized in there I can share with the team, but I followed his instructions and my team is unable to see the reports.

    Anyone know how I can do?

    Ensure that you have create and save your reports in the custom folder. Each instance Eloqua will have a custom reports folder located in "reports and dashboards. The default folder is called "Custom_ [your site ID] ' but can be renamed.

    After you have created your report, click on save or save as and then click the drop-down menu below so that you can select "Reports and dashboards" and then select the path to the custom reports folder.

    One thing to keep in mind is that if you save your report to the creation in the folder 'My reports' (it is a record of personal relationships) and later move your report in the public folder, you will always be the only user who will be able to see the report.

    It is also applied to any of the custom filters or the guests that you create to ensure that everything you want to share, you save custom public folder.
