VM Journal Used report

Hi,

I’m trying to report on used journal for a VM while it’s in a recovery test but I’m seeing a mismatch between what the ZVM believes is used and what the Zerto API and vcenter believes is used.

I’m seeing the Zerto API and vcenter reporting a higher figure for journal used (almost 100% used) but the ZVM isn’t alerting. The warning threshold is set to much lower than the figure that is being reported by the API and vcenter.

I believe the issue is that the API is reporting on the storage space used and not the journal space being used within the allocated storage space.

The powershell script that I’m using the pull information from the API is below:

$ZertoServer = “ZVM IP”

$BaseURL = “https://” + $ZertoServer + “:9669/v1/”
$ZertoSessionURL = $BaseURL + “session/add”
$Header = @{“Authorization” = “Basic “+[System.Convert]::ToBase64String([System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes($Credentials.UserName+”:”+$Credentials.GetNetworkCredential().Password))}
$Type = “application/json”

public class TrustAllCertsPolicy : ICertificatePolicy {
public bool CheckValidationResult(
ServicePoint srvPoint, X509Certificate certificate,
WebRequest request, int certificateProblem) {
return true;
}
}

$ZertoSessionResponse = Invoke-WebRequest -Method POST -Uri $ZertoSessionURL -Headers $Header -ContentType $Type
# Extracting the token from the JSON response
$ZertoSession = $ZertoSessionResponse.headers.get_item(“x-zerto-session”)
$ZertoSessionHeader = @{“Accept”=”application/json”
“x-zerto-session”=”$ZertoSession”}
#================================================================================================
# Grab Journal Info from API
#================================================================================================

$volumesURL = $BaseURL+”volumes”
$allvolumes = Invoke-RestMethod -Method GET -Uri $volumesURL -Headers $ZertoSessionHeader -ContentType $Type

$VMName = “VM Name”
(($allvolumes | Where-Object {($_.ProtectedVm.Name -eq $VMName) -and ($_.VolumeType -eq “Journal”)}).Size.UsedInBytes | measure -Sum).Sum / 1Mb

For the VM in question, this gives me a figure of 4094715 Mb. The warning threshold is set to 4044800 Mb. The ZVM should be alerting but it isn’t. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance, and let me know if you need any more context or would rather speak about this over the phone.
