Products

• VCF Operations for Networks

Issue/Introduction

• In the Aria Operations for Networks UI there are no flows for the NSX Data Source

• On the NSX Data Source you are not able to enable IPFIX and received error:  Failed to get IPFIX info

• User that was used to add NSX manager as a Datasource is a Service Account

Environment

VCF Operations for Networks 6.13.0

VCF Operations for Networks 6.14.0

VCF Operations for Networks 6.14.1

Cause

Incorrect permissions are set for the Service Account that is being used to validate the NSX Data source

Resolution

Update the Service Account permissions to the following:

Required NSX Manager permissions

• Enterprise Admin : Collects all data.
• Network Engineer : Collects most NSX resources (excludes load balancer data).
• Security Engineer : Collects all data except the load balancer.
•  Auditor:  Collects all data except the load balancer.
• Note: If using a user with the Network Admin role, you must also grant them the Auditor role in NSX.
  
  
• Permissions to avoid: A user with only the Network Admin or Security Admin role will not be able to add the data source correctly.
