NSX-T edge has static_routing_removed in syslog that repeats on every configuration push if static routes are configured

Products

• VMware NSX
• VMware NSX-T Data Center

Issue/Introduction

• When a static route is configured, any configuration pushed to NSX results in "Static routing removed" alarm being logged in syslog.
• The alarm is reported only once in the UI.
• NSX-T edge has a log in syslog that repeats on every configuration push if static routes are configured
  
  The log location is
  
  /var/log/syslog*
  
  this log looks similiar to

NSX 7040 - [nsx@6876 comp="nsx-edge" s2comp="nsx-monitoring" entId="########-####-####-####-########0001" tid="7040" level="ERROR" eventState="Off" eventFeatureName="routing" eventSev="error" eventType="static_routing_removed"] Context report: {"entity_id":"########-####-####-####-########0001","sr_id":"########-####-####-####-########5737","lr_id":"########-####-####-####-########e327","static_address":"ip-address"}

• This error is misleading however will not cause any issues

 

Environment

Cause

There was no book-keeping for the previous state of static routes. Because of which, it was not able to infer if there was any state change for static routes.

 

Resolution

This is resolved with VMware NSX versions 4.1.1 or 3.2.4 and onwards.

There is no available Workaround
