Dashboard Widget Fails with “Object Custom Script Not Found” Error - Manual Recreation Required

Products

• VMware Aria Suite

Issue/Introduction

The “Certificate Expiry Remaining Days” dashboard widget fails to load and shows the following error:

Object Custom Script on ######### not found. Extra info: #########, executescript, Identifiers - VCID = #######-####-####-####-#############, #### = vm-####

On verifying under Operations > Dashboards > Manage > Select Certificate Expiry Remaining Days, the widget configuration is missing.

Environment

8.18

Cause

The issue appears to be caused by the widget being removed, modified, or overwritten - possibly due to an import from a different environment. Since Aria Operations doesn’t provide a rollback option, the original configuration is lost and cannot be automatically restored.

Resolution

The missing widget needs to be manually recreated to restore its functionality. This will allow the script to run as expected and generate the reports with accurate data.
