• Question 71:

  Which two statements accurately characterize reports in vRealize Operations? (Choose two.)

  A. Views and Dashboards are the only data types available for a report.
  B. Only PDF type reports can be used to schedule a report generation.
  C. A report layout can contain table of contents, cover page, and footer.
  D. Scheduling of reports can be done hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly.
  E. Reports scheduled for generation can only be shared out via email.
  C. A report layout can contain table of contents, cover page, and footer.
  D. Scheduling of reports can be done hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly.

  According to the vRealize Operations User Guide1, the two statements that accurately characterize reports in vRealize Operations are:

  A report layout can contain table of contents, cover page, and footer.The report layout defines the appearance and structure of the report, and can include these optional elements to enhance the readability and presentation of the report.

  Scheduling of reports can be done hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly.The report schedule defines the frequency and time of the report generation, and can be set to run at regular intervals, such as hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly, or at a specific date and time.

  The other statements are not accurate because:

  Views and Dashboards are not the only data types available for a report.A report can also include other data types, such as alerts, events, metrics, properties, and super metrics.

  Only PDF type reports cannot be used to schedule a report generation.A report can be generated in different formats, such as PDF, CSV, or XML, and any of these formats can be used to schedule a report generation.

  Reports scheduled for generation can be shared out via email or FTP.A report can be configured to send the generated output to one or more email recipients, or to upload the output to an FTP server.

• Question 72:

  What is the correct process to add a custom metric configuration file to a scoreboard widget in a dashboard?

  A. 1. Create a metric file in XML format. 2. Set the scoreboard widget Self Provider to On. 3. Create a widget interaction with a provider widget.
  B. 1. Create a metric file in XML format. 2. Set the scoreboard widget Self Provider to Off. 3. Create a widget interaction with a receiving widget.
  C. 1. Create a metric file in XML format. 2. Set the scoreboard widget Self Provider to Off. 3. Create a widget interaction with a provider widget.
  D. 1. Create a metric file in XML format. 2. Set the scoreboard widget Self Provider to On. 3. Create a widget interaction with a receiving widget.
  C. 1. Create a metric file in XML format. 2. Set the scoreboard widget Self Provider to Off. 3. Create a widget interaction with a provider widget.

  ---

  To add a custom metric configuration file to a scoreboard widget in a dashboard, the correct process is to create a metric file in XML format, set the scoreboard widget Self Provider to Off, and create a widget interaction with a provider widget. A custom metric configuration file is a file that defines the metrics that the scoreboard widget displays for different object types. The file must be in XML format and follow a specific schema. The file must be uploaded to the vRealize Operations server and selected in the Metric Configuration option of the scoreboard widget. The Self Provider option determines whether the widget shows metrics of the objects selected during editing of the widget or selected on another widget. When the Self Provider option is set to Off, the widget shows metrics of the objects selected on another widget. The widget interaction is a mechanism that allows widgets to communicate with each other and pass data. A provider widget is a widget that provides data to another widget. A receiving widget is a widget that receives data from another widget. To create a widget interaction, the administrator must edit the dashboard and select the provider widget and the receiving widget, and then configure the interaction type and the data to pass. By creating a widget interaction with a provider widget, the administrator can enable the scoreboard widget to display the custom metrics for the objects selected on the provider widget.

• Question 73:

  VMware vRealize Automation (vRA) has been configured to allow developers to self-provision VMs to a defined cluster. The IT Manager has requested a daily email report of a list of VMs that have been provisioned from vRA. Which three steps will correctly generate the required report? (Choose three.)

  A. Set the start date and recurrence to daily.
  B. In the Email addresses text box, enter the email addresses that must receive the report, and select an outbound rule.
  C. Configure the external location, and then set the appropriate network file share path and credentials.
  D. Set the timezone, start date, start time, and recurrence to daily.
  E. Click on Schedule, select vSphere Hosts and Clusters, expand vSphere World, and select the specific cluster.
  F. Click on Schedule select vSphere Hosts and Clusters, expand vSphere World, and select the vCenter.
  A. Set the start date and recurrence to daily.
  B. In the Email addresses text box, enter the email addresses that must receive the report, and select an outbound rule.
  E. Click on Schedule, select vSphere Hosts and Clusters, expand vSphere World, and select the specific cluster.

  ---

  To generate a daily email report of a list of VMs that have been provisioned from vRA, you need to follow these steps:

  Create a custom view that displays the VM name, owner, and creation date for the deployments in the defined cluster.You can use the vRealize Automation Reporting - vRA8 deployment resources and statuses sample as a reference.

  Create a report that uses the custom view as the template and select the output format as CSV or JSON.

  Schedule the report to run daily and set the start date and recurrence to daily (option A).

  In the Email addresses text box, enter the email addresses that must receive the report, and select an outbound rule (option B).You also need to configure an email server in vRealize Automation Service Broker to send notifications.

  Click on Schedule, select vSphere Hosts and Clusters, expand vSphere World, and select the specific cluster (option E). This will filter the report data to only include the VMs provisioned to the defined cluster.

  Save the report and verify that it is sent to the email recipients as expected.

  Option C is not required because the report is sent via email and does not need to be stored in an external location. Option D is redundant because the start date and recurrence are already set in option A. Option F is incorrect because it will include all the VMs in the vCenter, not just the ones in the defined cluster.

• Question 74:

  An administrator wants to enable a custom metric configuration file to a scoreboard widget in a dashboard, but after configuring it, the scoreboard does not show the new metrics at all. Which scoreboard widget configuration option possibly caused this problem?

  A. Refresh content set to On
  B. Self Provider set to Off
  C. Self Provider set to On
  D. Refresh content set to Off
  C. Self Provider set to On

  ---

  The scoreboard widget configuration option that possibly caused this problem is Self Provider set to On. The Self Provider option determines whether the widget shows metrics of the objects selected during editing of the widget or selected on another widget. When the Self Provider option is set to On, the widget shows metrics of the objects selected during editing of the widget. When the Self Provider option is set to Off, the widget shows metrics of the objects selected on another widget. Therefore, if the administrator wants to enable a custom metric configuration file to a scoreboard widget in a dashboard, and the custom metrics are defined for a specific object type, the administrator should set the Self Provider option to Off and select the appropriate object type on another widget. Otherwise, the scoreboard widget will not show the new metrics at all, because the custom metric configuration file will not match the object type selected during editing of the widget.

• Question 75:

  A system administrator is investigating an intermittent issue with the company's vRealize Operations (vROps) deployment. The internal capacity team has provided three occurrences in the last 12 hours since the issue occurred.

  The senior system administrator has started to raise a VMware Support Service Request and has asked for initial relevant logs to be prepared for the VMware support team.

  How should the system administrator collect the relevant information?

  A. Collect the vCenter and vROps primary node logs using SSH and the vm-support utility.
  B. Use the vROps UI to create a full support bundle for ESXi, vCenter, and primary vROps nodes.
  C. Using SSH, copy the log files from each of the vROps nodes from /var/log/warn and /var/log/messages locations.
  D. Create a light support bundle using the vROps UI.
  D. Create a light support bundle using the vROps UI.

  ---

  A support bundle is a collection of log and configuration files that can help troubleshoot a vROps issue. To create a support bundle, the system administrator can use the vROps UI and select the option to create a light or full support bundle. A light support bundle includes 24 hours of logs, while a full support bundle includes all available logs and configuration files. For an intermittent issue that occurred in the last 12 hours, a light support bundle should be sufficient to collect the relevant information.The system administrator can also select the cluster nodes that need to be evaluated for support, and download the support bundle in ZIP format for analysis or sending to VMware Technical Support1. The other options are not recommended or efficient ways to collect the relevant information. Collecting the vCenter and vROps primary node logs using SSH and the vm-support utility would not include the logs from the other vROps nodes, and would require manual steps to gather and compress the files. Using the vROps UI to create a full support bundle for ESXi, vCenter, and primary vROps nodes would include unnecessary and excessive data that could slow down the process and consume more disk space.Using SSH to copy the log files from each of the vROps nodes from /var/log/warn and /var/log/messages locations would also require manual steps to gather and compress the files, and would not include the configuration files that could be useful for troubleshooting.

• Question 76:

  An administrator has deployed vRealize Operations and has been tasked with ensuring that the VMware SDDC remains compliant to the VMware vSphere Security Configuration Guide. The compliance benchmark is showing that the VMware SDDC is less than 10% compliant to the standards. Which three configuration options could have triggered a compliance alert? (Choose three.)

  A. The MAC Address Changes policy is set to reject on a Distributed Port Group.
  B. NTP is enabled and confiqured on a vSphere ESXi host.
  C. SSH is enabled and confiqured on a vSphere ESXi host.
  D. A Floppy drive is connected to a virtual machine.
  E. Transparent Page Sharing is Disabled on a virtual machine.
  F. The Promiscuous Mode policy is set to allow on a Distributed Port Group.
  C. SSH is enabled and confiqured on a vSphere ESXi host.
  D. A Floppy drive is connected to a virtual machine.
  F. The Promiscuous Mode policy is set to allow on a Distributed Port Group.

  ---

  SSH enabled on an ESXi host (Option C) can be a security concern if not properly managed, as it can provide broad access to the host.

  A connected Floppy drive (Option D) can be a risk as it could be used to introduce unauthorized data or software into the VM.

  Allowing Promiscuous Mode (Option F) on a Distributed Port Group can be a security risk as it allows all virtual machines connected to the port group to see all network traffic, which is generally not recommended in secure environments.

• Question 78:

  An administrator has created a custom dashboard for a project to provide visibility into total cost of ownership and application performance. The data in the dashboard should be driven from a single list of virtual machines. However, when the operator clicks on a virtual machine within the list view, none of the other widgets get updated. Which action should the administrator take to solve this problem?

  A. Configure dashboard sharing
  B. Enable the Refresh Content option
  C. Configure the object relationship widgets
  D. Configure the interactions between widgets
  D. Configure the interactions between widgets

  ---

  According to the VMware vRealize Operations Reference Materials, interactions between widgets allow you to display data that shows dependencies between objects in your environment. For example, you can configure a widget to act as a provider or a receiver of data from another widget. When you select an object in the provider widget, the receiver widget updates to show the data related to that object. In this case, the list view widget should be configured as a provider, and the other widgets on the dashboard should be configured as receivers. This way, when the operator clicks on a virtual machine in the list view, the other widgets will show the relevant data for that virtual machine.

  Therefore, option D is correct.

  The other options are not correct because they are not related to the problem of updating the widgets based on the selection in the list view.

  Option A is not correct because dashboard sharing is a feature that allows you to share a dashboard or a dashboard template with one or more user groups, but it does not affect the widget interactions.

  Option B is not correct because the Refresh Content option is a setting that allows you to refresh the data in a widget manually or automatically, but it does not affect the widget interactions.

  Option C is not correct because the object relationship widgets are a type of widgets that show the relationships between objects in your environment, such as parent-child, sibling, or peer relationships, but they are not related to the widget interactions.

• Question 79:

  What are the two required components of an alert definition? (Choose two.)

  A. Symptom
  B. Version
  C. Node
  D. Action
  E. Recommendation
  A. Symptom
  D. Action

  ---

  The two required components of an alert definition are symptom and action.An alert definition is a configuration that defines the conditions and actions for generating an alert1.An alert is a notification that indicates a potential or existing issue with an object in the environment2.An alert definition consists of the following components Symptom: A symptom is a condition that indicates a deviation from the normal or expected behavior of an object. A symptom can be based on metrics, properties, events, or messages. A symptom can have a severity level and a wait cycle. A symptom is a required component of an alert definition, as it triggers the alert when it is met. Recommendation: A recommendation is a suggestion or a guidance that provides a possible solution or a mitigation for the issue that caused the alert. A recommendation can include a link to a relevant document or a workflow. A recommendation is an optional component of an alert definition, as it helps the user to resolve the alert, but it does not affect the alert generation. Action: An action is a task or a workflow that can be executed automatically or manually to resolve the issue that caused the alert. An action can be based on vRealize Orchestrator workflows or vRealize Operations Manager tasks. An action is a required component of an alert definition, as it defines the response for the alert when it is generated. Version: A version is a number that indicates the release or the update of the alert definition. A version is an optional component of an alert definition, as it helps the user to track the changes and the compatibility of the alert definition, but it does not affect the alert generation. Node: A node is a vRealize Operations Manager instance that is part of a cluster. A node is an optional component of an alert definition, as it helps the user to specify the scope and the source of the alert definition, but it does not affect the alert generation.

  Therefore, the two required components of an alert definition are symptom and action, while the other components are optional.

• Question 80:

  An administrator is importing an Active Directory group with a role, and group members can login into vRealize Operations successfully. After a while, the administrator adds some new users into Active Directory group and is covers that newly added group members are not seen under User Accounts section and cannot login into vRealize Operations. Everything is working as expected for the old group members.

  The administrator needs to take further steps to allow the newly added group members to login quickly into vRealize Operations.

  Which two steps should the administrator take? (Choose two.)

  A. Re-add the Authentication Source.
  B. Add a SAML IdP as Authentication Source, and select source type as SSO SAML.
  C. Synchronize the User Groups.
  D. Check if Automatically synchronize user membership for configured groups is selected.
  E. Delete the existing Authentication Source.
  C. Synchronize the User Groups.
  D. Check if Automatically synchronize user membership for configured groups is selected.

  ---

  To allow the newly added group members to login quickly into vRealize Operations, the administrator needs to synchronize the user groups from the Active Directory source and check if the automatic synchronization option is enabled. Synchronizing the user groups imports the latest user group information from the source to vRealize Operations. Checking the automatic synchronization option ensures that the user group membership is updated periodically without manual intervention. Re-adding or deleting the authentication source are not necessary steps, as they would disrupt the existing user access control. Adding a SAML IdP as authentication source is not relevant, as the question is about Active Directory groups.
