NSX-T Tags with the same Scope not all visible in Aria Automation

Products

• VMware Aria Suite

Issue/Introduction

Symptoms:

• When multiple tags with the same scope exist on an object in NSX-T, the value of only one of the tags is persisted in the Aria Automation UI.

Environment

VMware vRealize Automation 8.x

Cause

Aria Automation will only collect a single Tag per Scope of an NSX-T Object. This by design as tags are currently stored in Aria Automation endpoints as a map of keys and values and the scope is used as the key for NSX endpoint types.

Resolution

This is the current by design behaviour of the product.

Workaround:

To work around the issue instead of having multiple tags of the same scope with different values on the same object:

Scope:'site1'
Scope:'site2'
Scope:'site3'

You could instead leverage a scope with a single value of a comma separated list, for example:

Scope:'site1, site2, site3'
