Configuring for vApp Data Collection
If you intend to have vApp data reported in IPM, additional configuration is required.
In IPM:
Navigate to Settings > Services Management > ProbeVM for vSphere Proxy > Set Properties.
Add the following property setting:
Property name: com.vi.vmware.virtualapp.vcenters.queryavailablemetrics
Value: <the Hostname/IP name of the vSphere server probe>
Use a comma-separated list for adding multiple vSphere servers.
In vSphere:
Navigate to Statistics Intervals.
The path might be similar to Configuration tab > Settings > General > Statistics, depending on the version of vSphere you are using.
Make sure that the statistics intervals field is set to Level 4 on the vSphere server.
This allows for collection of CPU, memory, and network statistics.
