Aria Operation for logs is down.

Products

• VCF Operations/Automation (formerly VMware Aria Suite)

Issue/Introduction

• The Aria Operations for Logs UI is down and inaccessible.
• The node/nodes are accessible via SSH.

 

Environment

Aria Operations for Logs 8.x

Cause

The root partition is full on one, some or all of the nodes in the cluster.

• df -h

Typically, the root partition is either 'sda-4' or 'sda-5'.

In the '/var/log/' directory, the 'messages' file has grown to over 4GB.

• cd /var/log
  ls -lthr

 

Resolution

The 'messages' file can be truncated by running the following command while in the '/var/log' directory;

• truncate -s 0 messages

Check the utilisation again;

• df -h

The boot partition should be around 40 - 45%. If this is true, then reboot the nodes.
