About event monitoring configurations

The configurations for event monitoring are done by way of the configuration file for the Quest vRanger Service, Vizioncore.vRanger.Service.exe.config. This file is located in the vRanger installation directory. The default is C:\Program Files\Quest\vRanger.

Opening the configuration file

Opening the configuration file

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.

Configuring virtual appliance (VA) monitoring

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:

Set this value to “true” to enable monitoring of the VA.

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.

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.

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.
