Issue/Introduction
When customers use the Cluster Resource > Properties > Cluster Configuration > DRS Configuration > Affinity Rules metrics to retrieve cluster affinity rules details in the Aria Operations UI or report, the output displays the affinity rule information in JSON format. Instead of showing the virtual machine names, it shows the VM IDs
Environment
Aria Operations 8.X
Resolution
This output format follows the product design, as VM names are not unique within a given vCenter (For Example: We can have same VM name for multiple VMs within a vCenter)
To deal with these ask, we can match the VM IDs with the corresponding VM names from the inventory and locate the associated VM name. It's important to note that IDs may repeat across different vCenters
Therefore, we should also consider the vCenter ID, as shown in the screenshot below:
