Do I add ESX hosts as node or 'poll for VMware' and add as ESX host, if I have VMAN and vCenter added to it ?

Do I add ESX hosts as node or 'poll for VMware' and add as ESX host, if I have VMAN and vCenter added to it?

We got licenses for VMAN and added vCenter for polling. In this case, what do I do with existing 100 ESX hosts which were added as ESX hosts?

 

What is the suggested way to do this, adding all ESX hosts by using poll for VMware or just add as a node?

 

Appreciate in advance.

This isn't exactly related, but I accidentally deleted this widget on the Sprawl dashboard when trying to do some cleanup.  Could someone with the latest version give me the query text for the Top-N: VM CPU Underallocated widget?  Thanks.

Vcenter Status Unknown after vcenter update

I have looked over similar threads but could not find an answer in any of them for my issue. We currently have VMAN v8.2 monitoring two vcenter nodes. We updated one of the vcenter nodes to Vcenter 6.5.0.22000 Build 9451637 and now solar winds is reporting the operational state as "unknown". If I check the node itself, it is reporting correctly. The individual esxi hosts are also still reporting in correctly. The vcenter box that we did not update is still reporting in correctly and is showing Vcenter status as "Up". Polling method is vman orion. Does anyone have any insight into this?

Environment:

Orion Platform 2017.3.3 SP3

Cloud Monitoring 1.1.0

IPAM 4.6.0

SAM 6.5.0

DPAIM 11.1.0

VMAN 8.1

QoE 2.4

NetPath 1.1.2

NPM 12.2

 

Problem Description:

When adding a node, I am unable to successfully "Test" the credentials within the VMware Polling Settings.  After attempting to validate the credentials it finally gives up with the error message "Test Failed. Cannot login with selected vCenter or ESX credential."  Without question, the credentials are correct.  I have no issue with our ESXi 6.0 hosts and their vCenter, but cannot get it working for ESXi 6.7.  Is our version of the software not compatible with 6.7?  If not, does anyone know if it's compatible with ESXi 6.5?

Manually Registering a SolarWinds License

$

When using Virtualization Manager 6.2 and higher, you have a secondary license for use with an Orion server instance. If the Orion server does not have external internet access, the license will not be able to register. There is, however, a manual process that can be followed to register the license and apply it to the server. Follow the instruction on the knowledge base article here, and you will be able to have your Orion server fully licensed for integration with the Virtualization Manager appliance.

There don't seem to be videos on adding ESXi hosts to Solarwinds for monitoring.  Also are there any recommendations as to what to monitor for ESXi 6.5?  Any KB articles on grouping ESXi hosts and creating alerts?

Capacity Planning Reports

I am running these reports against our production environment and when running a scenario where I am adding new VMs the results are a bit confusing.  Under the CPU usage section it shows that we are no where near capacity.  However, under the available virtual capacity section with the VM profiles it shows that we do not have sufficient resources for new VMs and the constraint is CPU.  The only reasoning I can come up with is that the physical core count is too low since actual utilization is not high (~40%).  If this is the case, it seems like it could be made clearer in the report.  Or, if there is something I am missing, what could it be?
