vFoglight 6.7 - Disk request in Metric Graph

After upgrading to vFoglight 6.7 our Metric Graphs are not working as they did in 6.6.2. In 6.6.2 we used "Disk Read Requests" and "Disk Write Requests" but in 6.7 they don't display any data. I have tried to created a new Graph and used "Disk Write Requests RATE" but the result is not what i expected. If I compare the result with what VMware display it's totally different.

So, anyone else got this problem? Any solution?

    Hi Jens,

    Which metric it refer to? Is that native VMware cartridge metric or it from v-Bundle or from other community cartridge?

    Hi Lee,

    I'm not sure, but I find the metric via: Add view, VMware, Virtual Machines, , Storage, Disk Write Requests.

    Regards

    Hello,

    Did you upgrade your VMware Performance agent as well after upgrading vFoglight?

    Sincerely

    Yes, the VMware Performance agents has been updated, running version 5.6.4.2. I have noticed the same on a new installation at a customers site. We are runnning ESX 4.1 and the customer is running ESX 5.0.

    Was the Agent Host (FglAM) also upgraded?

    Administration | Agents | Agent Hosts

    The vFoglight 6.7 version of the Agent Manager is 5.6.4.2

    This is different than the agent itself:

    Administration | Agents | Agent Status

    5.6.4.2 is the latest VMware Performance Agent.

    Thanks

    Yes, FglAM was upgraded. Running version 5.6.2.4. But I can't find the FglAM version 5.6.4.2? VMware Performance Agent is running 5.6.4.2.

    Regards

    Hi Jens,

    The indication that the Fglam is on recent version can be found by going to Agent hosts dashboard & following the below steps.

    Dashboards | Administration | Agents -> Agent Hosts.

    Select your FgLAM host, on the bottom of this dashboard:
    1. If the 'Upgrade' button is greyed out, it means your FgLAM is running current version 5.6.4.2.

    2. If the upgrade button, is active, it means your on old FgLAM version & needs upgrade.
    All you need to do, click 'Upgrade' & wait for green check mark on the pop-up window.
    Then  click OK -> hit refresh couple of times on this dashboard to see new version '5.6.4.2' for the upgraded FgLAm.

    Hope this helps!

    Best Regards,
    Rachel

    Hi Rachel,

    The upgrade button is greyed out, but the version is still 5.6.2.4.

    The installfile for FglAM is named: fglam-5_6_2_4-windows-x86_x64.exe.

    Under Administration it says: Server Version PRO 6.7.0 (build: 5.6.4.2-201208100802-249213)

    Regards

    Jens

    Hi Jens,

    Apologies for version confusion here:

    The FglAm version in vFoglight 6.7 is 5.6.2.4, it looks like your in the current version.
    Only the Vmware agent version changed to 5.6.4.2.

    Thanks,
    Rachel
