Hi,

I have confirmed that vRealize Operations Manager 6.5 is compatible with Usage Meter 3.5.  I am trying to add any user to the Usage Meter, but am failing.

Adding the user as username@domain I receive the following

org.springframework.http.converter.HttpMessageNotReadableException: Could not read JSON: Unable to unmarshal (to type [simple type, class java.lang.String]): Could not map [NOT_EXISTING] to ResourceState (through reference chain: com.vmware.ops.api.model.resource.ResourceDtoList["resourceList"]->com.vmware.ops.api.model.resource.ResourceDto["resourceStatusStates"]->com.vmware.ops.api.model.resource.ResourceStatusState["resourceState"]); nested exception is org.codehaus.jackson.map.JsonMappingException: Unable to unmarshal (to type [simple type, class java.lang.String]): Could not map [NOT_EXISTING] to ResourceState (through reference chain: com.vmware.ops.api.model.resource.ResourceDtoList["resourceList"]->com.vmware.ops.api.model.resource.ResourceDto["resourceStatusStates"]->com.vmware.ops.api.model.resource.ResourceStatusState["resourceState"])

Adding the user as a local user of vROps or domain\username I receive the following:

com.vmware.ops.api.client.exceptions.AuthException: API call failed, reason = 401

I've tried different permission levels, but am not getting any improvement. 

I noticed that the vCenter references vROPs still as 6.4 and the Usage meter shows the below.  Is this contributing to the problem?

Thanks in advance,

Rob

Hi,

if i add some vCenter Server Applicances  (from VCSA 5.5 to 6.5) to my new usage meter 3.5 there seems to be everything ok - the vCenters are connected on Port 443 and i can browse the vCenter inventory under the Rules Tab, so the connection seems to be fine.

However, when the usage meter starts the hourly collection there is always an errror on the Monitoring Tab:

##

ERROR [Event Monitor $VCENTER_FQDN events.EventMonitor: javax.xml.ws.soap.SOAPFaultException: Die Aufgabe wurde von einem Benutzer

##

I also receive one Mail from the usage meter for each vCenter:

##

Usage Meter is unable to collect data from VC $VCENTER_FQDN. Please resolve the error as soon as possible otherwise usage meter will stopmetering it after 24 Hours if unresolved

##

As the connections seems ok, i have no idea what could cause this problem.

Thanks,

Jan

What is the Bnd column, in this report?

Everything is pretty explanatory, however the new documentation is lacking on the column definitions with this new update.

Hello all

I want to know if someone create rules to extract or isolate some lab VM or ESXi hosts from the monthly Usage Meter report.

In fact, when you used the vCAN program, you could used less than 100GB of RAM for labs.

In my case, I have a dedicated ESXi host with 12 GB of RAM which will be used only for that.

How can y create rules for not send information about the VM executed on this Lab ESXi.

I used the 3.3.2 Usage Meter version.

Thanks a lot to all for your help

Best Regards

Matt

Hi,

The vCenter connection works. But the vROM is not identified.

No vCAC Objects are collected.

Has anyone a working environment like this?

Hi,

We have some error in the log file.

Error creating or sending the monthly usage report Monthly

Message size is over limit

any idea?

Hello

I'm trying to update my UM 3.3.0 installation to 3.4. I used the official user guide and followed every step as described.

Had nu issues to import the data from the old UM to the new one. But as soon as I want to login the web interface, the login fails with the user "usgmtr".

When I login into the console with the exact same username and password it works.

Any advice from you guys?

Regards,
Dominik

Hello

can someone explain me what is the Difference between  Billing RAM (MB) and Billed RAM (MB-Hours) in 3.4.

Where i can get the the vGB Used for a Customer in 3.4 ?

Hi all,

We currently have Usage Meter 3.3.3 metering/reporting on 3 vCenter servers. As part of the update process I deployed the new version (3.4) and successfully imported the config from the old appliance. I am now facing a few issues with the new appliance, which for some reason can't get information from a VROPs appliance. The error is as follows, and happens hourly, as part of the ongoing collection.

Error collecting from vRealize Operations "vROPS IP address": com.vmware.ops.api.client.exceptions.BaseException: org.springframework.web.client.ResourceAccessException: I/O error on GET request for "https://IPaddress/suite-api/api/adapterkinds/VMWARE/resourcekinds/VirtualMachine/resources?page=0&pageSize=0&totalCount=1&_no_links=true":sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target; nested exception is javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target.

On the web interface, this is the message showing at the top of the page: Error collecting from vCenter Operations Manager IP address: The host certificate doesn't match the certificate you accepted. Please edit the server on the Manage Page Products Tab.

Another issue with the new appliance is that, although customers and rules were imported, the filters used by the rules are not picking up any VMs. If I delete and create the rule again, it still comes back empty. Our rules are all based on Resource Pools, and use the following format:

object type: resource pool

value type: exact string

value: name of the resource pool

I deployed a fresh new appliance (as a test only) and the error with vROPs went away, but the rules are still not being populated correctly. Also, on the fresh new appliance, I can't setup SMTP. I will enter the smtp server and save it. A message at the top confirms all is fine. If I navigate to another option on the menu (not another tab) the smtp server will disappear.

I am still using the 3.3.3 to report the data to VMware until I can get these things fixed. Should I wait for a patch or should I contact VMware for that?

We are working on a Horizon View environment for our customers.

I see that DaaS is supported by the Usage Meter, but what about Horizon View? Is there a way to add Horizon View to the reports?

And how is Horizon View points calculated?

Hello,

i'm new to VSPP and i'm trying to understand how to calculate the costs of a VM (for us and for billing to customers).

I'm evaluate to subscribe to "VMware vCloud Service Provider Bundle – Premier-X Edition" and in product usage guide i find:

"..10 points per 1 GB Reserved RAM (based on average monthly usage) (GB = 1024 MB)

What does it mean "based on average monthly usage" ? If i have a VM that run continuously and i reserve to it 1 GB but it has for example 4 GB assigned, what will be the cost at the end of the month ? 10 Points ?

Does exist a method that permit to exactly calculate the cost of a VM with specified resources (pre-assigned and not pay-per-use) ?

Thanks, kind regards,

Nicola

Hi,

Did an upgrade from 3.3.3 to 3.4.0, so far all is looking good, except when trying to log on after migration:

Any ideas on what is wrong?

Data migration went without any issues (after the second try, the old appliance had the directory in /tmp/ that needed removing before all could be executed properly), so it should not be that.

Hello members of Usage Meter community,

The purpose of this post it to announce new Usage Meter 3.5 documentation resources.

The documentation has been updated, extended, and re-written, to align with the 3.5 feature set and address gaps reported by users -

• Documentation landing page
  https://www.vmware.com/support/pubs/vcloud-usage-meter-pubs.html

• Release notes
  http://pubs.vmware.com/Release_Notes/en/vcloud-usage-meter/vcloud-usage-meter-35-release-notes.html

• Documentation center
  http://pubs.vmware.com/vcloud-usage-meter-35/index.jsp
  Note: You can send feedback about a specific page to VMware via the blue Send Us Feedback button.

• Interoperability & metering capabilities
  https://www.vmware.com/support/vcloud-usage-meter/doc/vcloud-usage-meter-35-interop.html

The legacy *.pdf documents about 3.5 have been removed from the Documents section.

Best,

Hi,

I am not able to register my vCenter Server in UM. I always get this error: "There was a problem checking the certificate for <hostname>:443. Could not obtain certificate ".
Does anybody know where can be the problem?

I have fresh installation of Usage Meter 3.5, vCenter Server is VCSA 6.0u3.

Thank for help!

I am running usage meter 3.5 and SRM 6.1.1 can some let me know what are the ports need to for communication between SRM server and usage meter server. At the movement I can't see any reports reference to SRM and getting below error message 

• VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager collection failed: java.net.UnknownHostException: myservername.domain.com

Hello Colleagues. I found one strange error: Installed vCloud Usage Meter 3.5, VCSA 6.5 + 6.5 ESXi hosts. In hourly reports sent to my email is the wrong time. In Meter, VCSA, HOSTs, configured the correct time zone and correct time. In this case it was 22:05. Any ideas?

Hi,

I have noticed something in the usage meter (3.5) that appears to be a bug. It doesn't appear to register and VMs that are in nested vApps, Comparing VM counts in vcenter against the usage meter, the vAPPs that have been nested list no VMs in them and do not appear to be counted.

For example: root vAPP has 3 vApps in it. in those 3 vAPPs are VMs, none of these VMs show up or are counted by the usage meter.

Is this a known bug?

When can we expect a release of the Usage Meter that supports vSphere 6.5? I would like to upgrade to vSphere 6.5 but am blocked because the Usage Meter cannot be deployed to, or meter, vSphere 6.5 infrastructure.
