Collectors Info
Shows the status of the synchronize process that vCenter Operations Manager runs for each collector. The
synchronize process sends any updated configuration information from the controller to each adapter. The
describe process sends information about the data that can be collected from each adapter to the
vCenter Operations Manager server.
Adapter Info
Shows the status of the describe process, the adapter version, and any messages from the adapter for each
installed adapter. The adapter version consists of major and minor versions and the build number.
NOTE The describe.xml file contains an additional adapter version number. This version number changes
only if you must rerun the describe process because of an adapter change, for example, when the metrics that
the adapter collects change, or when the format of the adapter's credentials change.
The synchronize and describe processes usually run only when the vCenter Operations Manager server process
starts. If you make changes and want to run these processes without restarting vCenter Operations Manager,
click the Describe icon in the Adapter Info pane.
Replication Info
If you are using a replication server to back up the primary vCenter Operations Manager server, this pane
indicates whether synchronization is on, when it started, and the percentage completed.
DT Calculation Info
Shows statistics for dynamic threshold calculations. You can click the Generate Dynamic Thresholds icon in
this pane to manually generate dynamic thresholds on all collected metrics.
The regular schedule for calculating dynamic thresholds is set by the updateTime property in the
analytics.properties file. When updateTime is set to a positive number, vCenter Operations Manager
calculates thresholds once a day, starting at the hour specified, in military time. For example, updateTime=23
starts threshold calculation at 11:00 p.m. When updateTime is set to a negative number,
vCenter Operations Manager calculates dynamic thresholds every x hours. For example, updateTime=-6 starts
threshold calculation every six hours.
Slowest DT Objects
The five resources for which vCenter Operations Manager spent the most time calculating dynamic thresholds
appear on this pane. This information might help VMware technical support diagnose certain types of
problems.
vCenter Operations Manager Service Names
The services and service names are different for vCenter Operations Manager Standalone and the
vCenter Operations Manager vApp.
vCenter Operations Manager Standalone
For vCenter Operations Manager Standalone, the services are the same on Windows and Linux servers but the
service names are different.
