Issue/Introduction

• Login to NSXT GUI and Navigate to Inventory>Groups.
• Search with vRNI or vRNI-Node_Group_Profile_TN  you should see a huge number of profiles created. 
  Refer to screenshots below:
  
  
  

• Collector logs at location /var/log/arkin/collector  below error are seen:

Environment

• Aria Operations for Networks 6.13.0
• Aria Operations for Networks 6.14.0
• Aria Operations for Networks 6.14.1
• VCF Operations for Networks 9.0.x
  

Cause

An investigation of collector logs revealed that improper cleanup procedures resulted in the removal of vRNI_Groups from the vRNI KV Store, while corresponding entries were not deleted from NSX-T.

Consequently, during latency enablement, while TN_Groups were successfully created, an exception was encountered during the creation of vRNI_Group, indicating a pre-existing group.

During this time the Watcher task operates continuously in the background, generating a substantial number of TN_Groups. Because of which we saw a high number of TN_Groups.

Resolution

Issue is with NSX-T Latency statistics profile state entries which needs to be cleaned up using script(s) available with support team.

If you believe you have have encountered this issue then to investigate this further 

1. Open a support case with Broadcom Support mentioning this KB number to review your VCF Operations for Networks deployment. For more information, see Creating and managing Broadcom support cases. 
2. Generate support bundle for Aria Operations for Networks collector from GUI, see steps mentioned in KB
