I have purchased a bundle of Ent+ with ops manager based largely on my experimenting with the previous (flash-based?) version (6.5). I'm now implementing though and have found that the current version 6.7 is quite different, and I don't like it!
The default 'Home' for example. Some links are simple links to dashboards of the same name (taking you to the 'Dashboards' page) while others seem to show a analogue of some kind of an existing dashboard without actually taking you there (Home > Troubleshoot > Virtual Machine seems exactly the same as Dashboards > Troubleshoot a VM for example).
In these cases although the views/dashboards look the same they are not, as widgets when in Dashboard page can be moved around but not when accessing the seemingly identical analogue from the Home page (in Operations Overview for example). The home page quick start also links to multiple noise links which I am just not interested in.
The default dashboards are also seemingly impossible to get rid of. I have tried deleting them from the cli tools as suggested in VMware Knowledge Base to no avail -- errors prevent the dashboards from being deleted. I tried hiding them using the cli tools, but this seems to do nothing at all; they are all still present afterwards. Disabling them via the GUI works if you only want to disable a few, but disable all of them and they just all get automatically re-enabled again!
This is all horrible to my mind, and I would love to just be able to get rid of the Home page and default dashboards altogether and start with a clean slate and create only the dashboards that I want. Has anyone managed to do this?
Thanks in advance
