Monitor vCenter Operations Manager Services in JConsole
You can use the run-jconsole tool to monitor vCenter Operations Manager services and troubleshoot
performance issues. run-jconsole starts the Java JConsole tool to open the Java application console.
Prerequisites
Install the Java SDK, which includes JConsole. JConsole must be installed to use run-jconsole. JConsole is not
included with vCenter Operations Manager. For more information about JConsole, see the Java Web site
(http://java.sun.com).
Procedure
1 Start run-jconsole.
Option Action
Start run-jconsole on a Windows
host
Open a command prompt and type
vcenter-ops
\tools\run-jconsole.bat.
Start run-jconsole on a Linux host
Open a terminal window and type
vcenter-ops
/tools/run-jconsole.sh.
2 Type the name of the service to monitor.
You can type all, web, analytics, collector, or mq.
Verify Server to Collector Communication
You can use the HeartbeatSender tool to verify communication between the vCenter Operations Manager
server host and a remote or local collector. You typically use HeartbeatSender to verify communication with
a remote collector.
Procedure
u
Start HeartbeatSender.
Option Action
Start HeartbeatSender on a Windows
host
Open and command prompt and type
vcenter-ops
\collector\bin\HeartbeatSender.bat.
Start HeartbeatSender on a Linux
host
Open a terminal window and type
vcenter-ops
/collector/bin/HeartbeatSender.sh.
HeartbeatSender returns the URL of the collector and the result of the test. For example:
Sending Heartbeat request to the URL http://10.118.48.125:80/heartbeatservlet?
Controller successfully responded to heartbeat
Configuring and Running the Repository Adapter
The Repository Adapter populates a database with a subset of data from the vCenter Operations Manager
FSDB based on a schedule that you set. You can use this data to generate reports without affecting the
performance of vCenter Operations Manager or requiring additional data collection from the target data
sources. The destination can be a relational database or a comma-separated value (CSV) file.
Before you can use the Repository Adapter, you must set values in the conf.properties and
conditions.properties files. Both files are located in the
vcenter-ops
\tools\RepositoryAdapter directory.
