vSphere view is just showing 3 objects

Open Udayendu opened this issue 3 years ago • 10 comments

  • vSphere view is showing just 3 objects like vCenter, ESXi & datastore. image

  • Other components like VM, cluster & overall vCenter level utilization is missing which is there in your document: image

Not sure from which version its broken because from the beginning I can see only 3 objects of a vCenter.

Thank you for the report, check the latest Dashboard version I just upload https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/8159/revisions

The overall system, meaning vCenter, can be found at the bottom. I've split that into cluster status a few months ago so it was easier to consume.

Best regards

  • Its showing total 4 entries now: image

  • VM Summary is missing along with whole vCenter level performance matrix for CPU, Memory and Storage: image

    image

This will give a complete picture of the vCenter at first glance and then we have each level of metrics already.

  • Also I can see that for virtual machines, the CPU utilization matrix is not working: image

Hello, Both, that panel, and the VM Summary come from this: SELECT "usage_average", FROM "vsphere_vm_cpu"

How does your telegraf.conf looks like? Without user/pass, something odd.

For the whole vCenter view, will take a look and see if I add it or not. I think it is better to see view per Cluster, than the whole vCenter, which can have clusters all across the globe.

Please find the attached telegraf.conf file that I am using. telegraf.conf

Thank you, I was trying to see the config that is about the VMware part, please

And I observed that now the vmware-vsphere-vms dashboard is not working at all. Any changes has been done from your end ?

Hello, No, I have not edited or done anything to make that not working.

My guess is that you do not have the vsphere.conf properly configured. Can you please share just that part.

Which steps you followed to configure the telegraf part for vSphere? The ones on my blog?

All is good and running here

I have used your blog and the telegraf input plugin from github:

https://jorgedelacruz.uk/2018/10/01/looking-for-the-perfect-dashboard-influxdb-telegraf-and-grafana-part-xii-native-telegraf-plugin-for-vsphere/

https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/tree/release-1.8/plugins/inputs/vsphere

And then created my actual required telegraf.conf file as you can see: https://github.com/Udayendu/cPlatform99/blob/main/monitor-vsphere-grafana/telegraf.conf

This was working 2 days back but yesterday I deployed another setup and found that the new one is not working for vms dashboard. When I checked the old one, thats also not working. I have 3 vCenters and I am using them all together. You can see the whole deployment from the below link:
