Issue/Introduction

• After Aria Operations for Logs upgrade from 8.12 to 8.14 or 8.16, product version returned from /i18n/component/JS?locale=en-US is still 8.12;
• Sometimes 3rd party solution, e.g. tenable, will read production by "GET /i18n/component/JS?locale=en-US", which will lead to wrong product version returned to 3rd party solution.

Resolution

Workaround below can be applied for this issue:
1. access https://<vRLI>:9543/api/v2/version to get proper product version

2. access Aria Operations for Logs virtual appliance by SSH then "cat /etc/vmware/.buildinfo"

3. change "version-api-authenticated" to false under "api-server" in Aria Operations for Logs' internal config, then obtain product version from “https://<Loginsight address>/api/v2/version/unauthenticated”
