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: April 21, 2025.

AUTOMATION_CVE202522215_VMSA_202501

• Comment: Findings for VMSA-2025-0001 which was resolved with Automation 8.18.1 Patch1 shows the finding after update. 
• Status: The Automation version number did not increase with the release of the patch as expected. Even with patch 24411566 installed the version is still 8.18.1.36791 Build 24282366. We are working to disable this finding in the next release of operations. We will work with the Automation team to determine the best way to track these patches in the future. 

 

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.
