Issue/Introduction
Diagnostics for VMware Cloud Foundation in Aria Operations is the replacement for Skyline Advisor and Skyline Health Diagnostics. Please see the following link for more details on Diagnostics for VMware Cloud Foundation - What is Diagnostics for VMware Cloud Foundation
It is possible to have a false positive within a Diagnostics for VCF Finding. We do our best to make sure all scenarios are covered when creating a finding; however, sometimes certain scenarios are missed or fixes are released that we have not accounted for.
Environment
Aria Operation 8.18.x
Resolution
Currently have the following active findings which we are in the process of being fixing:
Last Updated: September 11, 2025.
AUTOMATION_CVE202522215_VMSA_202501 & AUTOMATION_CVE202522249_VMSA_202508
- Comment: Findings for VMSA-2025-0001 and VMSA-2025-0008 still show after patch updates.
- Status: The VCF Automation version number did not increase with patch updates. The findings check if you have upgrade to 8.18.1, but can not check the patch level.
HCX ESX Hosts are reported by upgrade findings. We are working to get these hosts filtered out in a future release of operations. As a workaround follow the steps outlined in the following KB. https://knowledge.broadcom.com/external/article/376592
Note: If you are seeing a finding which you feel is a false positive please restart your operations cluster. There have been reported instances where the database becomes out of sync with the Diagnostics management pack. Restarting the operations cluster has resolved this.
The workaround until we have a fix for this false positive is to disable the finding in your environment. Please follow the steps in the following KB to disable this findings in your Diagnostics for VCF environment.
