My installation took almost 1 hour but may vary between different setups. Patching with vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager Log Insight, Examples of Regular Expressionsĭette innlegget ble skrevet i VMware og merket Alert, DNS, RegEx, Symptom, vRealize, vRealize Operations Manager, vRops, 25th mars 2022 av Andreas. In vRealize Operations it seems like we need to match the whole string including to get a match Reference If you want to test your expression quicker than waiting for vROps collection cycles, you can create a custom group instead and use your regex there to get instant preview. This regex will result in match if DNS servers is configure in any of thees to ways. When combining my testing, some brainstorming and a screen sharing session with some trail and error we managed to tweak his regex to work within vROps and this is the code we ended up with. That brings me to the customer use case brought to me by Bernt Christian Torbjørnsen, a vRealize Operations admin and virtualization evangelist. In my simple lab setup this regex was doing its job, but for a live production environment it might not be the case, what if some servers have the DNS configured in the opposite way? Then my regex won’t match. (no step, by step guidance here) More advanced reqex When that is done you can create your alert definitions and use the new symptom. When that is done remember to set wanted Criticality and then save. There is probably other ways to create the regex but this worked for me. In my case the correct config is so I created a regex that will match on this value. In the Property value field you should now see the value we need to match. Give the Symptom a resonable Name and on the If Property choose Does not match regular expression. In Select Specific Object expand Configuration, Network and double click on DNS Server.

In the Add Symptom Definition view change Base Object Type to Host System and Symptom Type to Properties. Go to Configure, Alerts, Symptom Definitions and choose ADD So here is a litte write up on the process. I did a quick google search and found out that info on regex and vROps wasn’t easily available. I recently got a question on how to use regex within vRealize Operations to make a symptom if DNS server settings on a host is incorrect.
