The VMware Aria Operations Management Pack for vSphere Replication lets administrators monitor the health and current status of their underlying vSphere Replication environment in VMware Aria Operations manager.

By using the VMware Aria Operations Management Pack for vSphere Replication 8.8, you can see alarms when a problem occurs with a replication or a virtual machine or when there is an RPO violation. VMware Aria Operations Management Pack for vSphere Replication allows you to also explore various vSphere Replication-related metrics. For example, you can view replication details per VM, such as direction of replication, replication status, and Recovery Point Objective (RPO) violations. You can also monitor replication settings and metrics, such as transferred bytes, last instance sync points, last sync duration, and last sync size.

You can track the following alerts with the VMware Aria Operations Management Pack for vSphere Replication:
  • RPO violations count is greater than 0.
  • Virtual machine is in error state.
  • Replication is in error state.
