Aria on Why did IT fail

New in Operations - Payload templates scope Enhancements

Fri, 12 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000

A significant new enhancement in VMware Aria Operations 8.17.1 is the Payload Templates Scope Enhancements. Essentially, this feature allows you not only to include an object that is affected by an issue in a notification but also to include its descendant objects. Why is this feature significant? Consider a scenario where there is an outage on one ESXi host. This issue is primarily a concern for the infrastructure teams responsible for operations, but it also impacts the workloads and could potentially affect service levels.

Note: If you face this problem in a production environment you should reach out to VMware Global Support at this point. This is not an official guide. And even if you use it in non-prod, please make a backup before any changes. These steps are a mix and match from slack threads, engineering PRs etc that I compiled. So, the main work has been done by others and I want to thank you all who contributed and helped out!

LogInsight not receiving host data via cfapi

On a recent, fresh installation of LogInsight I observed that no data from a set of hosts was coming into the LogInsight server. Debugging showed not issues related to the usual suspects of DNS, NTP, firewall or network which left me a bit puzzled. I found the answer by going through the logs of the loginsight agent (usually in /var/log/loginsight-agent/liagent_): 2021-07-20 07:08:22.319018 0x00007ff1c1a74700 DataController:167 | Creating cfapi transport 2021-07-20 07:08:22.
