Issue/Introduction
Why are some metrics and/or CPU metrics not appearing in Aria Operations for Hyper-V machines?
Environment
Aria Operations 8.x
Resolution
The metrics available for Hyper-V machines are shown here: HyperV Metrics.
Note: Any other metrics which are not listed in the link above are not collected by the Aria Operations product managed Telegraf agent.
Additional Information
It may be possible to use the Open Source Telegraf Agent or the Management Pack Builder to collect extra metrics for the Hyper-V VMs.
Open Source Telegraf:
Using the plugin in the Open Source Telegraf Agent configuration named override (non-curated), it may be possible to get additional metrics, but non-curated plugin configuration and collection-related issues should be addressed to the Telegraf community and assistance with this configuration will not be provided by Broadcom support. Please see Monitoring Application Service and Operations Systems using Open Source Telegraf documentation.
Management Pack Builder:
Another option to expose additional metrics is to define a new Management Pack using the Management Pack Builder to include the additional metrics.
If the environment is using Aria Operations 8.18, the Management Pack Builder must be downloaded and set up separately. However, starting with VCF Operations 9.0, the MP Builder is natively integrated as a built-in feature, making it much easier to create and deploy custom Management Packs.
Here are some useful links for reference:
Please note that GS Support does not provide support on the Management Pack Builder. Please reach out to the community for further support.
