Audit logs do not report changes when moving directories in Aria Orchestrator

Products

• VCF Operations/Automation (formerly VMware Aria Suite)

Issue/Introduction

• Navigating the Aria Orchestrator > Administrator  the Audit Logs in Aria Orchestrator do not capture file movement events, such as which file was moved and from which directory to which destination.
• This results in a lack of traceability for configuration changes made via UI drag-and-drop actions.
• E.g.: BacthAction file is moved from Configurations to Additions directory

 

• /services-logs/prelude/vco-app/file-logs/vco-server-app.log logs on appliance shows the trace however in the Aria Orchestrator  UI > Administrator > the Audit Logs will not show in which directory file is moved.

Environment

Aria Orchestrator 8.18

Cause

• The current audit logging mechanism in Aria Orchestrator does not monitor low-level file or folder operations, such as moving files between directories.

Resolution

• This behavior is as per the product design 
• We recommend raising a feature request to enhance audit logging capabilities.
• Please reach out to your TAM (Technical Account Manager) to assist with submitting this request to the product team.
