I have been several times about this and hence I thought I would quickly blog about this. With vRealize Operations, the out of the box content owned by VMware usually gets a refresh with each release. If you wish to get the new updated content, then you can leverage the reset out of box option during upgrade. I wrote about this more than 3 years ago here and this is still relevant.
I have been asked that if one needs to reset the out of box content later on then it is possible. The use cases around this are things like, you have modified out of box symptoms or alerts and you want to restore back to factory settings, or you have accidentally deleted some out of box content which you want to recover.
You can rest out of box content easily per solution. A solution is also known as a management pack which helps you connect to various endpoints to collect data and run analytics.
Here is an example on how you can reset content for vCenter solution:
1- Login with admin privileges or the built-in admin account.
2- Click on Administration -> Solutions.
3- Find the solution for which you want to reset out of box content.
4- Click on the Configure option.
5- On the configuration page click on the option highlighted below to reset out of box content.
6- Read the warning on the dialog box, check the option to confirm and click on ok to take this action.
Note - This process can take up to 30 minutes and will affect the data collection as stated in the warning.
Hope this helps.
