False ControllerNode->Down and ControllerNode->APIServerDown alarms

Products

• VMware Smart Assurance

Issue/Introduction

False positive alarms received on an event of Authentication Failure on Cisco ACI manager

Environment

Smarts 10.1.X, 24.3.X

Resolution

This has been identified as a bug and a fix is in progress which works on re-classifying the Authentication Failure use-case as a ControllerNode→ConnectivityBroken event 

• This fix introduces improved event generation for authentication failures.
• For authentication failure scenarios, a new event named ConnectivityBroken will now be raised on the ControlCluster object.
• ControllerNode Down and APIServerDown events will no longer be generated for authentication failures.
