Products

• VMware Aria Suite

Issue/Introduction

The Uplink metrics mentioned below for a vCloud Edge Gateway object (Management Pack for vCloud Director) are fetched from the linked NSX logical router object.

In addition, there will be statistics metrics published on the logical router object.

These are Discrete metrics which are calculated as current cumulative value and previous cumulative value and based on which bytes per second plus other info is populated in vCloud Director.

• Statistics|Uplink|Data OUT
• Statistics|Uplink|Data IN
• Statistics|Uplink|Bandwidth Out
• Statistics|Uplink|Bandwidth In

 

Resolution

To segregate the Uplink metrics and collect only the Linked Port from the Logical Routers, the property "ROUTERLINK_ONLY" needs to be enabled on the collectors assigned to the MP vCloud Director.

1. SSH to the Collector in Aria Operations assigned to the MP vCloud Director.
2. Run the following command:
   
   cd /usr/lib/vmware-vrops/user/plugin/inbound/vcloud_adapter3/conf
   
   
3. Edit the file vcloud.properties by running the command:
   
   vi vcloud.properties
   
   
4. Change the property "ROUTERLINK_ONLY" to true.
5. Repeat the steps above on all the collectors which host a vCloud Director adapter instance.
