Hi,

I have a problem with Foglight. How can i access to the historical monitoring (3 months ago) of a virtual server that i had to copy (snapshot), delete and reinstall in a new virtual server with the same hostname and ip?

I have Foglight 5.7.1

Thanks a lot.

Eliud.

    Hi Eliud,


    Unfortunately. Chances are that the host you reinstalled received a new identity in Foglight when re-created in the new vCenter. Foglight (since VMware cartridge 5.7.1) would keep track of a VM only if it was moved using long distance vMotion, but if it was recreated from a backup it will not link the old data with the new data as the vCenter ID and possibly the VM id have changed.

    I hope this helps,
    Gaston.
