An administrator wants to get application-related data (metrics) from the virtual machine (VM) that vRealize Operations doesn't collect. The administrator needs to create a custom script to complete…

Question

Options

• AInstall Telegraf agent, place the appropriate script to the VM, and then call it from Manage Agent
• BInstall End Point Operations Management agent, place the appropriate script to the VM, and then
• CInstall Telegraf agent, place the appropriate script to the vRealize Operation Manager, and then
• DInstall End Point Operations Management agent, place the appropriate script to the vRealize

• A

• B

• C

• D

Explanation

Option A is correct because the Telegraf agent is vRealize Operations' designated tool for collecting custom application metrics via scripts - it runs on the VM, executes the script locally, and reports the data back to vROps. The script must reside on the VM itself (not vROps Manager) since the Telegraf agent executes it in the local VM context, and the agent is then invoked and managed through the Manage Agent interface in vROps.

Options B and D are wrong because the End Point Operations Management (EPOM) agent is designed for OS-level infrastructure metrics (CPU, memory, disk), not for running custom application metric scripts - it lacks the script execution capability that Telegraf provides.

Options C and D are also wrong because placing the script on the vRealize Operations Manager node makes no sense architecturally - the agent runs on the VM and can only execute scripts it can access locally on that VM.

Memory tip: Think Telegraf = Targeted (custom) app metrics, and the script lives on the Target VM - all three T's go together. EPOM is for "Endpoint" infrastructure basics, not custom scripting.
