Issue/Introduction

  • The "top" command executed on the Aria Operations node (Master/Replica) indicates approximately 100% CPU utilization.

Environment

Aria Operations 8.18.X

Cause

The Aria Operations Cluster Configuration is Undersized.

Resolution

The following steps outline how to assess if your Aria Operations Cluster Configuration is undersized:

  • Access the Node: Connect to the Aria Operations Node via SSH.
  • Navigate to Audit Reports: Change the directory to cd /logs/system-audit-report/.
  • Locate Latest Report: Find and open the most recent system-audit-report_<YYYYMM>.txt file.
  • Identify Configured Objects: Within the report, look for the "Resources Configured: #####" entry to get the number of configured objects.
  • Validate Sizing: Use the obtained information and refer to the article at VMware Aria Operations 8.18 Sizing Guidelines to confirm if your Aria Operations is undersized.

Additional Information

If your Aria Operations Cluster Configuration is undersized, scale up according to your business requirements. This can be achieved through:

  • Vertical Scale Up: Adding more sources to existing nodes.
  • Horizontal Scale Up: Adding more nodes to Aria Operations.
