I am sorry to hear you are having issues setting up FVE. I will try to point you to the documentation you need but, if you have a service request open, that is the best way to reach our team.
Regarding Issue 1, did you check the Storage resizing requirements on eDocs? There is a list of supported OSs and below a list of common requirements. Please check the VM meets all of them:
re: Rule Catalyst Free Database Space Checking - You can edit the registry variable DBSMon.CriticalFreeTablespaceSize in the registry editor under Administration->Rules and Notifications to alter its value. The rule is firing as the remaining database size is less than the registry variable. There will be a Fatal registry variable and a warning registry variable. You may need to lower all three values.
re: credentials - Credentials hold user name and passwords so they can be defined in one location and not for every agent configured. Credentials are defined in Administration -> Credentials -> Manage Credentials. For the optimizer, a higher level of permissions need to be defined for a VMware user above the standard permissions required for just monitoring a Virtualization environment. In the Manage Credentials dashboard, you will define a new credential for Windows (Domain, UserName and Password) that will be associated with a Vsphere user that has permissions for Foglight to perform optimizer tasks. Under credential resources you can then define a credential group and associate virtual machines with the group.
Note: When you configured a connection to vCenter within Foglight you would have configured a user name (and password) that is just for monitoring and that would not need to have a higher level of permissions.

Hi Cory,
I am sorry to hear you are having issues setting up FVE. I will try to point you to the documentation you need but, if you have a service request open, that is the best way to reach our team.
Regarding Issue 1, did you check the Storage resizing requirements on eDocs? There is a list of supported OSs and below a list of common requirements. Please check the VM meets all of them:
http://edocs.quest.com/vfoglight/800/files/FoglightForResourceOptimization_Guide.pdf
Issue 2: Credentials for workflow and Optimizer are stored in different places.
For Optimizer: follow instructions documented in PDF document used for issue #1 to setup the Optimizer credentials (search for credentials tab).
For Automation cartridge, follow these instructions: Taken from http://edocs.quest.com/vfoglight/800/files/FoglightForVMwarevCenterActionPack_5.6.3.2_ReleaseNotes_Revision1.html
Before using this Cartridge you must specify the access credentials for a VMware host and any virtual machines that you want to manage.
For issue #3, please refer to David's answer. (Thanks David).
I hope this helps,
Gaston.

Thanks for the reply David. I'll look into that.
Another issue I just noticed: Powered Off VMs do not appear in the optimizer either.
