Issue/Introduction

When generating a report (default or custom template), all expected objects do not get listed.
This is a case even when a broad set of objects are selected like "vSphere World".

Environment

Aria Operations 8.x

Cause

The used / mapped views in the desired report template contain objects which are not governed by required policy in Aria Operations.
The policy governing the missing but expected objects should have the required metrics and properties in Activated state.

Resolution

To list the desired objects, their metrics or properties in a view or a widget, follow the below:
  • Login to Aria Operations Product UI as local user: admin.
  • Navigate to a specific object which is missing from the view / report. Verify the assigned policy on the top-right.
  • Noting the policy name, navigate to the policy details: Operations > Configurations > Policy Definition.
  • Edit the required policy: Select the Policy > Edit policy > Metrics and Properties.
  • Filter with the desired object type and search for required metric(s) or properties.
  • Verify the state of the specific metric and/or property. Ensure to have it in Inherited or Activated state.
  • Click on Save after making necessary changes to commit those changes.
  • With the above performed, the desired metrics, properties and/or object names will now get successfully populated in required views / reports.
