How to activate the Smarts performance data collection on VLAN interfaces (PROPVIRTUAL) in Watch4Net APG 5

Environment

VMware Smart Assurance - Watch4Net/M&R

Resolution

The Smarts IP/local/rules/health/adapter-setting.asl file must be modified with the following changes:

//        if (!obj->IsManaged ||
//           sizeof(obj->LayeredOver) > 0 && subIfPerfMode == disabledMode ||
//             glob("*Vlan*", obj->Description) || thrSettingObj->isNull()) {
//           REMOVE_PERF_INSTRUMENTATION(obj);
//           continue;
//       }
//  Now:
        if (!obj->IsManaged ||
           sizeof(obj->LayeredOver) > 0 && subIfPerfMode == disabledMode ||
             thrSettingObj->isNull()) {
          REMOVE_PERF_INSTRUMENTATION(obj);
          continue;
        }
 

Restart the Smarts PM process after making the above changes.
