vCOPS: How do I access the custom widget's panel

Deathmage

Hey guys,

so I know there is a way to mess around with the widgets in vCOPs, but were is it?

I'm using this from the VMUG:




VMware vSphere with Operations Management 5.5 Enterprise Plus




Now I tried doing https://10.10.10.25/vcops-custom but I get this screen:





anyone? - am I typing the url wrong?

Looks like you need to edit the config file for the URL, look here > Change the default url for vCenter Operations Manager for View | Duco Jaspars – vConsult

but I do think vCOPS is pretty neato, the server has finally produced enough data for me to see my home-cluster is a tad over provisioned.

Really like how it tells you this info!

Check out my latest blog on the VMUG 2015 and a screenie of the vCOPS: VMUG Advantage 2015: $2400 worth of software for $200! - I.T.HINK ...So you don't have too...

I'm pretty sure that SKU only includes VCOps standard, not advanced/enterprise (despite the fact Vsphere is Enterprise), so you don't have access to custom dashboards/widgets. I went through the same thing with a client

that would explain allot. thanks for the insight, I knew it was something ominous.
