vfoglight vbundle, velocity cartridges

Question

Iam currently using vFoglight 6.2.2 and am getting ready to upgrade to 6.7.1. I have been told that the vbundle and volocity cartridges dont' work in 6.7.1, I did it in my lab and all seems to work fine. Are these cartridges going to be supported in 6.7.1? Is there a timeframe as to when this might happen? Just because the cartridges seem to work, is it wise to use them?

Any information on this subject would be greatly appreciated.

vBundle is not supported, nor will it in 6.7.1.  It has a series of derived metrics that can easily cripple a system, and the engineer who wrote it has not developed on it for over 2 years.  Velocity is maintained be me (author) but I've not updated it in ages and I've split out most of it's bits to various community cartridges.  You can find those under my name in this forum.  If there is a specific view or set of them you are looking for please let me know.

Thomas, thanks for your reply. Yes, I have several views that I use every day.

1 - Current snapshots

2 - Old vmtools by cluster

3 - VM's with iso's attached

4 - Created and deleted VM's

5 - VM's and associated Hosts

Any help on these would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Alex

Here are the specific dashboards that I currently have set up:

1 - VM's that have an ISO image attached (vmiso21, vmiso51, etc is datastore with iso images.

2 - Vmtools out of date by datacenter

It lists all VM's with out-of-date, or not installed vmtools with a count per datacenter

3 - created and deleted VM's

It looks line snapshots and vm's by datastore works in 6.7.1 without vbundle or velocity

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
