• VCF Operations/Automation (formerly VMware Aria Suite)

Issue/Introduction

Some metrics for Aria Automation that are available in the policy are not displayed when reviewing the object(s).

• Aria Automation App is part of the VMware Infrastructure Health solution and the policy includes NTP, DNS, Application Version, and Password Summary.
• The metrics collection is succeeding and some metrics such as health are collected.
• When viewing logs for the node collecting VMware Infrastructure Health, there are no errors found related to the host name(s) of the Aria Automation cluster appliances.

Environment

VMware Aria Automation 8.x

VMware Aria Operations 8.x

Cause

Some of the solution policy metrics are only collected when the Aria products are part of a managed VCF 5.x deployments.

Note:  These metrics are also not available in VCF 9.x due to changes in the API request design.

Resolution

These metrics will require implementation of a VCF 5.x managed environment.
