Verify that the Adapter
Instance is Connected and Collecting Data
You configured an
adapter instance of vSAN with credentials for a
vCenter Server
.
Now you want to verify that your adapter instance can retrieve information from
vSAN objects in your environment.
To view the object types, from the left menu, click
. Object Type
| Description
|

vSAN Adapter Instance
| The
vRealize
Operations Management Pack for vSAN instance.
|
vSAN Cluster
| vSAN clusters in your data center.
|
vSAN Datastore
| vSAN datastores in your data center.
|
vSAN Disk Group
| A collection of SSDs and magnetic disks used
by vSAN.
|
vSAN Fault Domain
| A tag for a fault domain in your data center.
|
vSAN Host
| vSAN hosts in your data center.
|
vSAN Witness Host
| A tag for a witness host of a stretched cluster, if the stretched cluster
feature is activated on the vSAN cluster. |
vSAN World
| A vSAN World is a group parent resource for
all vSAN adapter instances. vSAN World displays aggregated data of all adapter
instances and a single root object of the entire vSAN hierarchy.
|
Cache Disk
| A local physical device on a host used for
storing VM files in vSAN.
|
Capacity Disk
| A local physical device on a host used for
read or write caching in vSAN

The vSAN adapter also monitors
the following objects discovered by the VMware vSphere adapter.
- Cluster Compute Resources
- Host System
- Datastore
- In the menu, clickAdministrationand then in the left pane, click .
- In the list of tags, expandAdapter Instancesand expandvSAN Adapter Instance.
- Select the adapter instance name to display the list of objects discovered by your adapter instance.
- Slide the display bar to the right to view the object status.Object StatusDescriptionCollection StateIf green, the object is connected.Collection StatusIf green, the adapter is retrieving data from the object.
- Deselect the adapter instance name and expand theObject Typestag.Each Object Type name appears with the number of objects of that type in your environment.
If objects are missing or not
transmitting data, check to confirm that the object is connected. Then check
for related alerts.
To ensure that the vSAN adapter can collect all
performance data, the Virtual SAN performance service must be activated in vSphere.
For instructions on how to activate the service, see Turn on Virtual SAN Performance
Service in the VMware Virtual SAN
documentation.
If the Virtual SAN performance service is deactivated
or experiencing issues, an alert is triggered for the vSAN adapter instance and the
following errors appear in the adapter logs.
ERROR com.vmware.adapter3.vsan.metricloader.VsanDiskgroupMetricLoader.collectMetrics - Failed to collect performance metrics for Disk Group com.vmware.adapter3.vsan.metricloader.VsanDiskgroupMetricLoader.collectMetrics - vSAN Performance Service might be turned OFF. com.vmware.adapter3.vsan.metricloader.VsanDiskgroupMetricLoader.collectMetrics - (vim.fault.NotFound) { faultCause = null, faultMessage = (vmodl.LocalizableMessage) [ com.vmware.vim.binding.impl.vmodl.LocalizableMessageImpl@98e1294 ] }
