According to the vRealize Operations Cluster Management guide1, the Association Member Status indicates the state of the association between the remote collector nodes and the master node in a multisite deployment. The valid statuses are:

• Active: The remote collector node is connected to the master node and is sending data.
• Inactive: The remote collector node is not connected to the master node and is not sending data.
• Unreachable: The master node cannot reach the remote collector node due to network issues or node failure.

The Asymmetric status is not a valid status for the Association Member Status. It is a valid status for the Cluster Status, which indicates the state of the cluster nodes in a single site deployment. The Asymmetric status means that the cluster nodes are not in sync and have different configurations or versions1. References: 1: vRealize Operations Cluster Management guide, pages 3-4.

To get application-related data (metrics) from the VM that vRealize Operations doesn’t collect, the administrator can use the custom script feature of the End Point Operations Management agent. The custom script feature allows the administrator to run custom scripts in the end point VM and collect custom data which can then be consumed as a metric. The administrator needs to install the End Point Operations Management agent on the VM, place the appropriate script to the VM, and then configure the agent to call the script from the Manage Agent location for the VM in vRealize Operations. The script metrics are created under an object called Custom Script which is a single object per end point VM. The administrator can view the output for the specific metric in the All Metrics tab1. The Telegraf agent is not used for custom script monitoring, but for application monitoring using predefined plugins2. The script should not be placed in the vRealize Operation Manager, but in the end point VM. References: 1: Custom Script 2: Application Monitoring

The regulatory, standards-based compliance pack that is available in vRealize Operations is the CIS Security Standards. The CIS Security Standards are a set of best practices and recommendations for securing IT systems and data against cyberattacks. The CIS Security Standards are developed and maintained by the Center for Internet Security (CIS), a nonprofit organization that provides cybersecurity resources and guidance to organizations and individuals1. The vRealize Operations Compliance Pack for CIS provides alerts, policies,and reports to validate the vSphere resources against the CIS hardening guide. The following resources are being validated using this content: ESXi Host, Virtual Machine, vCenter Server, Distributed Switch, Distributed Port Group, and Distributed Firewall2. The vRealize Operations Compliance Pack for CIS can be downloaded and installed from the VMware Marketplace3. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) (option A) is not a regulatory, standards-based compliance pack that is available in vRealize Operations. SOX is a federal law that regulates the financial reporting and auditing of public companies in the United States. SOX does not provide specific technical guidelines or benchmarks for securing IT systems and data4. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) (option B) is not a regulatory, standards-based compliance pack that is available in vRealize Operations. CVE is a list of publicly known cybersecurity vulnerabilities and exposures that are assigned unique identifiers and descriptions. CVE does not provide specific security standards or recommendations for securing IT systems and data5. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (option D) is not a regulatory, standards-based compliance pack that is available in vRealize Operations. GDPR is a legal framework that regulates the collection, processing, and transfer of personal data of individuals in the European Union and the European Economic Area. GDPR does not provide specific technical guidelines or benchmarks for securing IT systems and data. References:
