Resolution
Before trying any changes in the Aria Operations instance, take snapshots as referred on KB How to take a Snapshot of VMware Aria Operations
Perform the following steps on Suite-API UI to enable the Alert Plugin "Action"
1- Access the Aria Operations swagger by using this link https://vrops_primary-node_fqdn_or_ip/suite-api
2- Click the Authorize button to authenticate and enter Admin credentials.
3- Search in the swagger for the use GET /api/alertplugins,
Click the "Try it out" button
Set the "PluginTypeId" field to "Actions", Then click the execute button as per image below
{ "notificationPluginInstances": [ { "pluginTypeId": "Actions", "pluginId": "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx", "name": "Automated Actions", "description": "Automated Actions", "version": xxxxxxxxxxxxx, "enabled": false, "configValues": [] } ]}
Note:
If the plugin is absent, continue to step 4. (If this is the case, the response from the previous call will be empty)
If the plugin is present, you can go to step 5.
4- Create/install the plugin using the following POST call:
POST /api/alertplugins
with the body of the POST set to:
{ "pluginTypeId": "Actions", "pluginId": null, "name": "Automated Actions", "description": "Automated Actions", "version": 0, "configValues": []}
Click the Execute button.
5- Now retry the call from Step 3 to confirm that the Actions plugin has been created/installed. Take note of the "pluginId" detailed in the response.
6- Use the following PUT call to activate/enable the Actions Plugin - PUT /api/alertplugins/{pluginId}/enable/{enabled}
Set the "enabled" field to "true"
Add the "pluginId" value from step 5 to the "pluginId" field
