Configuring replication monitoring

Replication monitoring logs replication task failures to the Windows® event log with the Event ID of 10001. The log also includes the error message and information about the task such as source VM, target host, and vCenter.

To configure replication monitoring:
1
In the Vizioncore.vRanger.Service.exe.config file, scroll to line 162 or search for Replication FailureWriteEventLog.
2
Change the value “false” to “true”, ensuring the quotation marks remain.
3
Save the file and exit.
Continue to the next topic to make additional changes.

Configuring virtual appliance (VA) monitoring

When enabled, at the specified interval, the vRanger VA monitor goes through all the configured VAs and checks to make sure that their power is turned on. The vRanger VA monitor also verifies that vRanger is able to connect to the VAs using the specified IP addresses and credentials.

To configure VA monitoring:
1
In the Vizioncore.vRanger.Service.exe.config file, find the lines corresponding to the preferred setting:
•
VirtualApplianceMonitoringEnabled: line 204.
Set this value to “true” to enable monitoring of the VA.
•
VirtualApplianceMonitoringEventLogFailureLogMax: line 207.
This setting is the maximum number of times that a particular VA failure can be logged to the Event log before a success. Change the value of “7” to the preferred value, ensuring the quotation marks remain.
This setting is intended to limit the number of messages in your event viewer. A refresher message appears periodically based on the next value.
•
VirtualApplianceMonitorSecondaryIntervalInHours
This value determines how often the refresher message occurs for a failed VA check after the FailureLogMax value has been reached. The default is 6, which indicates that it logs an event every six hours.
•
VirtualAppliancesConnectionCheckIntervalInMinutes
This setting determines how often vRanger checks the connection to configured VAs. The default is 5, which indicates that it checks the connection every five minutes.
2
Save and exit the file.

Configuring datastore monitoring

When enabled, at the specified interval, the datastore monitor goes through all the configured datastores and determines if the space available on the datastore exceeds the specified threshold. This check might be either by percentage or a specific value in gigabytes. When this exception occurs, an event is logged in the Windows® event log with an ID of 12000.

To configure datastore monitoring:
1
In the Vizioncore.vRanger.Service.exe.config file, find the lines corresponding to the preferred setting:
•
DatastoreMonitoringEnabled: line 218
Set this value to “true” to enable monitoring of the datastores.
•
DatastoreMonitoringSpaceThresholdValue: line 220
This setting is the threshold value for a datastore space before a warning is sent. This value is modified by the DatastoreMonitoringSpaceThresholdType setting.
•
DatastoreMonitoringSpaceThresholdType: line 222
This value determines whether vRanger checks for percentage of free space or an absolute value in GB. Set “0” for percent, “1” for GB.
•
DatastoreMonitorCheckIntervalInMinutes: line 224
How often vRanger checks the datastores for low space (in minutes) — the default is 30 minutes.
•
DatastoreMonitoringEventLogFailureLogMax: line 227
The maximum number of times a particular datastore monitor failure can be logged to the Windows event log before a success — the default is 7.
This setting is intended to limit the number of messages in your event viewer. A refresher message appears periodically based on the next value.
•
DatastoreMonitorSecondaryIntervalInHours: line 230
This value determines how often the refresher message occurs for a datastore that has reached its space threshold value after the FailureLogMax value has been reached. The default is 6, which indicates it logs an event every six hours.
2
Save and exit the file.

Restarting the Quest vRanger Service

For the changes to take effect, you must restart the vRanger Service.

To restart the service:
1
On the vRanger machine, click Start > Run.
