Issue/Introduction

This article describes how to deploy and configure logs 9.0 agent in SDDC-M to forward logs to "VCF operations for logs" server

Environment

VCF 9.0

Cause

As of VCF 9.0 there is no automated way to deploy and configure logs agent in SDDC-M to forward logs to VCF Operations for logs

Resolution

1. Download the deploy_vcf_ops_logs_agent.sh script attached to this article. 
2. Using a file transfer utility, upload the script to the SDDC Manager appliance
3. Make sure port 9543 from SDDC manager to VCF Operations for logs is open and accessible.
4. SSH to SDDC manager appliance and change to  ‘root’ user.
5. Run “deploy_vcf_ops_logs_agent.sh” as ‘root’ in SDDC manager appliance and follow the prompts to download and configure the agent:
    /bin/bash deploy_vcf_ops_logs_agent.sh <VCF_ops_logs_FQDN>"

Additional Information

If the installation succeeds but SDDC manager still isn't available in VCF Оperations for logs, restart the 'liagentd' service on SDDC manager and refresh VCF Оperations for logs UI. 
systemctl restart liagentd
