With vRealize Operations Aggregator Management Pack 2.0 you can unify your multi-site vRealize Operations Manager deployments into a single pane of glass.

Compatibility
For compatibility between products, please refer to the VMware Product Interoperability Matrices.
Known Issues
- Metrics/properties from the latest federation_config.xml does not collect data for the child vRealize Operation 6.7 earlier versions
Metrics have been eliminated or renamed starting from vRealize Operations 6.7 later versions. If you monitor vRealize Operations 6.7 earlier versions with the latest federation config xml (with changed metric keys), the new metrics for these instances do not collect data. As a result, in the Out-of-the-Box contents like Dashboards, the new metrics for the vRealize Operations 6.7 earlier versions will not have any value.
Workaround:
To collect the old metrics from the vRealize Operations 6.7 earlier versions, use the specific federation config xml that contains metric keys specific to that vRealize Operations. - The Federation adapter instance collection status displays an error and the properties are not published
The Federation adapter cannot retrieve properties from a child vRealize Operations Manager of version 6.7 with a read-only access. The Federation adapter log contains "AuthException: API call failed, reason = 403.
Note: In the earlier version of vRealize Operations 7.0, "administration.api_access" was required. However, from vRealize Operations 7.0 only, "administration.api.read_access" permission is required for retrieving remote resource data.Workaround:
Configure Federation adapter instance with a user who has higher privileges. - Metrics/properties that do not exist in the pre-upgraded vRealize Operations setup does not collect data.
After you upgrade the vRealize Operations to 6.7 or later releases, the Federation adapter does not collect the metrics/properties that did not exist in the pre-upgraded vRealize Operations setup.
Workaround:
Restart the Federated Cluster - Accumulative summary results do not include the data for the child vRealize Operations 6.7 earlier instances
Many of the metric-keys have been eliminated/changed in vRealize Operations 6.7. When customers use the latest federation adapter to monitor the earlier instances of vRealize Operations 6.7 with the latest federation config xml (containing the latest metric-keys), the data from these instances will not be collected. As a result, in the Out-of-the-Box dashboards where the accumulative metric values are presented, the metrics for the earlier instances of vRealize Operations 6.7 will not be included.
Workaround:
None - Manually stop and start the adapter instances to get the latest changes and start the collection of the newly added metrics
Due to the changes in the Metrics Configuration file, after upgrading the Management Pack to the latest version, manually stop and start the Aggregator adapter instances to get the latest changes and start the collection of the newly added metrics.
None
